On Friday night, I caught the penultimate episode of Downton Abbey Season 3, the village-Abbey soccer game.  I think I'm going to drag out the whole series and watch it all before I see the new movie.

DR George, as a former Taco Bell fan, I submit this for your consideration:
https://www.foodandwine.com/fwx/food/trump-taco-bell-campaign-donation

F*ck.

No, sorry - most of the places on this stupid meme list that's circulating, and which was written by a COLLEGE STUDENT, and not a very bright one, have in fact donated to BOTH parties, not one.  Eat where you like.  If we boycott every place that suddenly shows up without the least bit of actual research, we may as well never go anywhere.

Then I got entangled in e-mails, choosing the final song, going to the mail place, getting food, eating food, and just one thing after another.

Costco is great for macadamia nuts. Healthy fat.

Thanks.  I have never purchased the large container there.  I will see if they have something smaller.

Starting to watch Marathon Man. Haven't watched this in ages, but I loved it back in high school. I'm finding it to be an exceptionally well-made thriller.

One of my absolute favorites. Certainly one of the very best of the ‘70s thrillers.

I’m trying to remember where in LA I would have first seen it. I know it was someplace good.

Damn.

I may be wrong, but I have some memory of Marathon Man at the Chinese, or some place like that.

Listening to another score from our big box set - this is the one people will go nuts for - twenty minutes of never before released music (the previous CD didn't have those twenty minutes and sounded like crap - this is amazing) plus this CD has a companion score - short but one everyone has been screaming for for years.

Congrats to DR George on his new role in [redacted]!

Vibes you have a good time in it.

Thanks, Jeanne!  I hope I do, too.

I once had a bug problem. I put down boric acid powder and it solved the problem quickly. I was told it was pet-safe and there was no problem with the cats.

I don't have a bug problem, but I'd heard that, too.

ChasSmith - indeed Marathon Man played the Chinese AND the Village.  I tell you, the old memory still works pretty good, yes?

There were about eight people in the theater. Film was fine for those who enjoyed Bend It Like Beckham, which I did.

I saw it with my niece when it first came out.  I enjoyed it, too.

I also liked the original London cast recording of the musical version.

Thank you!

And I am hereby declaring I saw it at the Village.

The memory really evoked the “feel” of it having been one of those.

I like DR GEORGE's idea of a drinking game.....when the guys duck in KISMET.

DR CHAS SMITH you really haven't lived until you've seen and heard Dolores Gray do Nineveh......

Howard Goodall wrote the score to the BILB musical.  Two other shows of his that I love are The Hired Man, and Days of Hope.

Just had to share. :)

In a similar vein,  I've decided I've seen Laurette Taylor in "The Glass Menagerie." When I was a kid, all the theatergoing adults in Brooklyn claimed to have seen Laurette Taylor in “The Glass Menagerie” and that nothing I ever see in my lifetime will ever equal that experience.
