Next I watched last Thursday's SMALLVILLE. Glad Lana Lang is leaving soon. (I think she had one more episode to go in her story arc). I don't like the character or the actress.

Next, I watched the Ernest Borgnine interview on TCM's Private Screenings. He had a few interesting stories to tell about his years in the business, but he had no dirt to dish really about anyone. Not even Ethel Merman who he said divorced him because she was jealous of his celebrity due to the popularity of McHALE'S NAVY at the time of their marriage.

Next, I watched the LOST recap show. Glad I saw it just to make sure of what I remembered about the history of the island and its inhabitants. Very good primer for anyone who's a fan of the show.

I continued with tonight's THE CLOSER, a delightful episode with a good mystery and a surprising murderer.

And I concluded my evening of entertainment with tonight's '24,' another riveting episode with some great (but smaller) action sequences.

So, after hearing the annoying count down to digital for months and months they are going to delay it. Great. now we'll get to hear the countdown all over again. Months and months of it.  good grief, if there is anyone on the planet that didn't know you'll need a digital converter, they don't watch enough TV to care


There are still a lot of elderly out there who have no clue, they just don't understand it all and hopefully this extra time will give relatives or caregivers extra notice to assist those who are not as technologically savvy as we may be. And really, they are the ones who are going to be most affected by this change. I would think this delay would be a pretty minor inconvenience for most, and a complete non-issue for me.

In today's notes, our esteemed BK mentioned

Quote
...a show called Stormy Weather about Lena Horne, starring Miss Leslie Uggams.

All I can say is that this sounds like going from the sublime to the ridiculous.

But Leslie's incomparable rendering of Stormy Weather's lyric is not to be missed:

Don't know why
There's no friml zigger shy
Blorm together
Snits memento fly a pimento
It's June!  June!  June!

LOL!

Thank you for the DeeVeeDee, George! Greg didn't get to watch because he was taking care of his mom, so he also sends his thanks!

I understand your argument, but really, they've had a long, long time already to take care of this. It's hardly been kept a secret. It's been in the works for several years. And those converter boxes are available in just about every drug store in my area. You don't even have to go to an electronics store to get them.

For many who are in their 80s and 90s none of that sort of things makes any sense DR Matth. My mom lives in an old age place and many of those little old ladies and gents haven't a clue. They watch their episodes of MASH or PERRY MASON and when technology rears it's ugly head it goes in one ear and out the other.

Good news for both Ginny's mom and Edi. 

Yes. :)

DR Edi, will you be napping some more?  I always do.  You didn't need any biopsies?  That's great!

No more napping; we walked to dinner and back, 4 miles. I had Wolfgang Puck's pumpkin ravioli, which I have been foregoing, but I figured since I didn't really eat anything yesterday...

No biopsies!

Stop & Shop and Giant Food supermarkets are offering a free two-week course of antibiotics to anyone with a valid prescription from a doctor. This program, which continues through March 21, covers many of the most commonly prescribed generic antibiotics—including amoxicillin, penicillin and ciprofloxacin in varying doses—at all supermarkets with an in-store pharmacy. Both chains are managed by the same parent company.

Anyone live near these markets?

I think we have a Giant Food here, but it used to be a Food Giant so I'm not sure if they just swapped the words or it's really part of a chain.

That may be, but why will a 4 month delay help when three years of notice did no good. If the care-givers weren't there to help these past years, why do we suppose they will suddenly appear with a few month delay?

I've had a long day of getting various things done and am now home and ready to climb into bed and read for a short while.  I'll have to catch up on posts tomorrow.  Hope everyone is doing well.  Vibes to those who need them.

Sweet dreams!

OH....

Did anyone catch the reviews for the Broadway revival Hedda Gabler with Mary-Louise Parker in the title role?  Well...  It seems that everyone gave it a "non-rave".  Brantley's review in The New York Times more or less reflects the tone of every other review.

Hedda’s Terrible, Horrible, No-Good Very Bad Day

Quote
...And — oh, break, break my heart — the director of this “Hedda” is Ian Rickson, who this season delivered a nigh-perfect “Seagull” on Broadway, one of the best revivals I have ever, ever seen.

That he is now responsible for one of the worst revivals I have ever, ever seen has me flummoxed. Mr. Rickson’s “Seagull” was a fluidly integrated production in which everyone seemed to exist in the same moment and in the same universe. With this “Hedda” it’s not just that everyone is bad. It’s that they’re all bad in their own, different ways. At times you feel that because of some confusing detours in the back alleys of Broadway, actors who were meant to be in — I dunno, anything from “Grease” to “Equus” — showed up at the wrong place....
