Cell phone users. Of course talking or the phone ringing is very annoying.

Texting is bad enough with the bright light but why can't they dim the light if they are going to text.

Jane · « **Reply #92 on:** April 23, 2019, 05:05:18 PM »

Speaking of dimming the light, I did that the other night when we were at the event to hear the author. Not knowing what the sound would be like, and since the lights were not completely turned to movie setting, I wanted the option to adjust my hearing aids with my phone app. Boy did I need to as the speaker was not using the microphone correcting and had a soft voice.

David Winters has passed away. He's been in and out of hospitals for years with heart problems but has managed to survive all of them save for his last. I took dance from him at fourteen years of age, he choreographed me in one of the Donny and Marie shows and put me in his film, Racquet.

Sad news.

David was one of my very first publicity clients, and was also responsible for my getting other clients (e.g. Pat Harrington, Jr., etal.).

R.I.P., my friend.

I had a major breakthrough with little Thatch this morning which was quite wonderful. The Thatch in the stories is not the actual Thatch at all, more my wishful projection, but he becomes more trusting and less paranoid daily. I did develop a headache this morning, so I took some Tylenol and lay down for a bit. Thatch joined me, and the longer we lay there, the more curious about me he became. He started climbing and walking over over me as he would get on and off the bed. I think he wanted to sleep in the cat tree, but Annabelle has appropriated it today. He would occasionally walk to the foot of the bed just to see if she were still there. Usually, she's up in the book cases. Then he'd wander about, come back and lie down with me.

Around 1:15, he started his perambulations again, climbed up on my chest, and then lay down on it. He stayed there for maybe ten minutes when he rose, continued his walk off my chest, and plopped down in the space between my right arm and my chest. He curled up, decided he liked it, and then spect the next 15 minutes or so grooming himself there. He's usually so frightened of anyone getting too close to him, much as he craves the affection, that he likes to be petted but not enclosed. This is good.

What a wonderful story, Elmore.

Back to The Bookshop. I'm not enjoying it. So, I'm going to skip to about the end.

I have to take the car in for repairs, then get a chest X-ray (a followup to last year's surgery). Then it's off to a daylong meeting that is a real dog-and-pony show.

John G. · « **Reply #102 on:** April 23, 2019, 07:51:45 PM »

Then tomorrow night it's ushering for Spamalot.

Last night on HBO was the first episode of the miniseries GENTLEMAN JACK.....it just happened to come on at the right time....I watched it.

Most entertaining - very good show....if someone has HBO and is looking for something to watch.

Oh, I've seen previews and I want to watch that.

We don't get HBO.

Then how do you watch Game of Thrones?

Then I had a good email from the State University of New York (SUNY) in New Paltz, and I called Joshie so we can plan our trip there for this Friday. Too much excitement today!

Did I miss an important announcement?

The reviews tonight for Tootsie have been excellent. David Yazbeck has grown better with each show. I'm really interested in hearing this one.

I haven't seen it, but the screenwriter, Sally Wainwright, is one of my favorites. I don't have HBO, so I'm hoping it comes to Netflix or Acorn.

I got my car waxed today. Long overdue.

Bruce, I'm amazed that TWO people came out to deliver your new phone and set it up. I didn't know they did that at all; I thought you bought it in the store or they mailed it to you.

Jeanne · « **Reply #112 on:** April 23, 2019, 08:36:08 PM »

I'm very tired and barely functional.

Good night.

LOL, we don't.

Keith read the first novel as we watched the fist season. He enjoyed both the book & the show. I think it was too much at once and he didn't care if we continued watching. Sorry all of you fans out there but I did not want to watch any more of the show so we stopped.

Jane · « **Reply #114 on:** April 23, 2019, 10:22:21 PM »

We have been to 2 or 3 of the beautiful locations where it was filmed.

I saw a short montage of scenes from the show on Playbill.com.

George · « **Reply #117 on:** April 23, 2019, 11:15:35 PM »

The one line that I'm going to miss from the movie can't be in the show because in the movie, "Dorothy Michaels" becomes an actress in a soap opera on TV, and in the musical, she becomes a Broadway star.

George · « **Reply #118 on:** April 23, 2019, 11:15:45 PM »

My favorite line is the cameraman's:

Rita: I'd like to make her look a little more attractive, how far can you pull back?
Cameraman: How do you feel about Cleveland?

And now, since we're so close...
