Well, you've read the notes, the notes were towering and on fire, and now it is time for you to post until the towering and on fire cows come home.

Dreadful night: I watched the PBS hour of Downton Abbey at 8:00, and that ended at 8:50.  I took one extra-strength Tylenol and one Tylenol PM, and went to bed.  Four hours later I was still awake and still in pain.  At some point after 1:00 I did nod off, and I spent the remainder of the night until 6:15 tossing, dozing, and fighting pillows.

After I fed the cats, I took a naproxine and a tizanidine, and went back to bed.  I slept until 8:30 or so, when all three cats got in bed with me.  By 9:00 I decided the bed was too small for all of us - especially sionce all Stella wanted to do was wrestle with Thatch and annabelle - and got up.

On this date in 1951, one of Hollywood's most sordid scandals broke in the nation's press.

What happened?

"B" movie actor Tom Neal beat the s**t out of Franchot Tone, destroying his good looks and turning him into a "character actor".  It all happened because both men were involved with Warner Brothers actress Barbara Payton, who had co-starred in movies with James Cagney, Gary Cooper and Gregory Peck.

This is a juicy story that kept on giving.  Tone retreated to New York, and his career would survive.  Not so for Payton or Neal.  Both of them were virtually "blacklisted" from the business.  She would, eventually, be arrested for prostitution, and he would be convicted for murdering his wife.

On a personal note: In 1964, for 3 months, I lived in the same apartment building as Ms. Payton, but that's another story.

I've dramatized the Tone-Payton-Neal scandal in my play, B MOVIE, which is available in both paperback and Kindle editions via Amazon.

It just took me a little over an hour to pack up the two (count ‘em) keyboards and the amp and the racks and benches and music stands and the carry-on (or what used to pass as a carry-on, seeing as how this is still a nice size) with all the accessories and cables ‘n stuff, and load it all into the car.

And boy am I tired.

Fortunately, there’s plenty of help at the other end, and then a month before it all gets done again.

I love ‘em all, while POSEIDON and TOWERING get the nod for residing at the top of the list. Ever since playing DISASTER!, I’ve wanted to sit down and watch a string of them, and that hasn’t happened yet. I haven’t seen the AIRPORT movies, in particular, in a very long time, and their time is coming. In the right mood and frame of mind, they’ll all be a treat.

I enjoyed BK's quip yesterday about not moving the car because it wasn't his. Strangely enough, last night about 10:30 a huge branch on the big tree in front of the apartment building next door cracked and fell on some poor sod's late-model Acura SUV. The owner of the building is VERY irresponsible and won't do any maintenance if he can avoid it. I hope this costs him. I feel bad for the SUV owner. He probably has insurance, but there are deductibles and you often don't receive full value for your car. Besides the hassle.

I posted a photo of Frances Farmer on the Indiana Historical Society Facebook page because they are having a retrospective of the photographer's work.

An hour later someone twit posted : "I remember her from her TV show. She's racist. I watched it.....  Nothing special about her."

I let it set for a couple of hours - not taking the bait.  Then I went back and hid the comment and blocked the person.....  I just hope this means no one else can see it on the page.....

Such an unfounded and strange thing to post about a woman who has been dead for 49 years and was in fact quite liberal in her personal and political views.....

BK, what was the bookstore near the Nuart? You can’t be referring to something as far back as Papa Bach’s, can you?

It’s actually amazing that that name came to me just now. I’m remembering it probably from the late 1970s.

Grant ended up going to the bookstore with me - very disappointing - none of the fun stuff he brings to the shows was in evidence - I suspect that's not his clientele.  But he does do a lot of events there, so we'll make a plan in October to do a Kritzer signing, since his store is literally five blocks from my childhood home.  That way, I can talk all about the neighborhood as it was then and now.

Saturday morning greetings!  More DAR administration work for me today - and it involves a typewriter  ???

A typewriter? Is it museum work?

Membership cards, DR John G.  My predecessor led me to believe I could do a mail merge from our online national directory and print them onto the fillable cards we bought in Columbus last month.  However - that mail merge 1) is for printing onto blank business card cardstock, which would use up way too much printer ink (unicorn blood, according to my son) and 2) requires Microsoft Word, which I don't have on my new MacBook Air and really don't want.  What I do have is a nice correctable electronic typewriter that I bought years ago, specifically for filling out forms and addressing envelopes, both of which I think are pains in the neck on the computer, unless it's a writable PDF.  It took me - maybe - 2 hours to type the 46 cards for our chapter and with no techno-stress (except when I thought the ribbon was giving out, but it wasn't).

That'll really help both of us.  We'll finally be able to go through it as many times as we need to.

I'm back.

I enjoyed BK's quip yesterday about not moving the car because it wasn't his. Strangely enough, last night about 10:30 a huge branch on the big tree in front of the apartment building next door cracked and fell on some poor sod's late-model Acura SUV. The owner of the building is VERY irresponsible and won't do any maintenance if he can avoid it. I hope this costs him. I feel bad for the SUV owner. He probably has insurance, but there are deductibles and you often don't receive full value for your car. Besides the hassle.

:o Maybe, the SUV owner can get something from the owner of the building. ::)

My life at the moment is no more fascinating.  I spent the afternoon soaking in a hot tub and listening to a PBS folk music special.

It's been YEARS since I've soaked in a tub...maybe not since I was a kid.  I need to do it again because I have a couple of bath bombs that I want to use.  One was a door prize, and the other was a prop for Legally Blonde that I didn't ask for reimbursement because I just wanted the packaging for the prop...so I kept the bomb. ;)

The author is providing one, and other actors are providing the other five.  The seventh car is actually only referred to, and not seen or acted within.  So only six actual cars are part of the show, Seven Cars at Boston Harbor Marina.

I think The Andromeda Strain is a scifi film.

It is sci-fi, but when I looked up "disaster" films on IMDb, it was in the list, so that was good enough for me. :D

Yes.  The author specifically asked Jeff to be in the show, which is his prerogative.  Bryan also specifically asked me to be in the show without an audition (which has never happened before), so I absolutely said yes to being in the show.
