T.O.D.

I've always been a fan of Robert Mitchum.  In fact, I used to do publicity for his son, Christopher.

Among my favorites:

THE ENEMY BELOW
THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE
THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER
OUT OF THE PAST
CROSSFIRE
THE LONGEST DAY
CAPE FEAR (1)
THE YAZUKA
HEAVEN KNOWS, MR ALLISON
THE GRASS IN GREENER
(Not really, but I did the Mitchum role in a community production back in the early 1960s.)

And a blessed morning it is, because our fined furred friends let me sleep in again today ... all the way to nine o’clock Eastern.  It was a damned good sleep, and the dreams seem to have been decent but they haven’t broken through the surface yet.

Post by: ChasSmith on February 24, 2018, 06:44:31 AM
I don’t remember any specific occasions on which I went to Sizzler, but I’m positive that the only times I did were in the ‘70s and ‘80s.  It was probably only a handful of times all told.  I’d say it amounted to a couple of dinners and a couple of office lunches.  It was a phenomenon then, and the very mention of it conjures other memories of those two decades.

What I’m trying to remember (hmm, catchy...) is where they were then.  Picturing the locations will help to bring more of it back.  I’m still amazed that there are not only a few of them still around, but that they’re apparently still so similar to those of olde.  Great catch, BK.

Post by: ChasSmith on February 24, 2018, 06:57:51 AM
Like TCB and the MAMMA MIA, I was seriously tempted to run up and see ANYTHING GOES again, so it’s probably just as well that the two matinees were already sold out as of last night — I bet tonight will be, as well, if it isn’t by now — because I do need to spend time on other pursuits.  But it was a rare pleasure.  This was a college production, and it was class and style and incredible skill all the way.

OK, I get why Bruce did not notice, or skipped, photos of triplets on his Facebook page.
Funny is that he did not notice photos of Swishy Sarah when the babies were inside of her.

Do you have any idea how BIG the belly of a woman carrying triplets is ;D

There were Sizzlers in Sherman Oaks, Encino, still one on Laurel Canyon near Victory, Burbank (Hollywood Way, I think - still there), Sherman Way near the Van Nuys airport (that was the one we went to most in the 70s) and of course all over LA proper.

Today I was accompanied by Mae-Ling Goldstein -- not Wae-Ling - to get the vegetable box. She turned vegetarian the day we all were making a stuffed turkey for Thanksgiving several years ago. She thought pulling the giblets out of the turkey was DISGUSTING. Wae-Ling thought it was the best part about Thanksgiving.
Title: Re: A TRIP IN THE WAY BACK MACHINE
Post by: Laura on February 24, 2018, 08:52:14 AM
I don't see Mae-Ling very often, so I enjoyed her company. I think she tolerated mine. We got 30 zucchinis, a LOT of various kinds of tomatoes, and bell peppers. She got to choose as much as she wanted out of the batch.

Then we went to Wal-Mart, and I bought her a zoodle maker, a cheese grater, and a chopper thing. Her dad won't let her use the food processor I gave her for Christmas, because he doesn't want to have to wash it.

They are nice to have when you need them, but I agree they are a pain to wash.  Over the years I used mine less and less.

I remember when you met the young  Vixter ( was it 10, 12 years ago?!) and tried to talk to her about bring a vegetarian.  You asked her if she liked animals and in all seriousness she answered, "yes, I like the way they taste"

;D

Was that before or after we walked through the Chinese (?) market with the dead animals?


Before.!  I did my best to distract her attention away from those sights  despite. Der Brucer's best effort to draw her attention TO them

I have just indulged in the purchase of a first row balcony seat for the March 24th matinee of Grand Hotel at City Center.  Orchestra and Grand Tier are both completely sold out.  Are any othe DRs planning to attend this performance?

I'll be around. Can we step out for a nosh after?   The orchestra reading is this Tuesday and I have yo miss the morning session because of another epidural.

I would love that.  I can make reservations for us at Lily's if you'd like.   











Chas, will you be around?

YES!  Saturday matinee.  Kristi & Nathan will be with me.  They aren't available to ask right now, but I think a get-together around some food would be a fine thing.


Ooh ooh!  Let me know and let's see if Ben and Anthony will be around and I'll get us a table at Lily's for afterwards if everyone agrees

Saturday afternoon greetings!  It's another rainy day here in SW Ohio, but Richard and I have a date tonight.  We're going to dinner at Gracie's (http://www.graciesmiddletown.com/) and then to see Middletown Lyric Theatre's "My Name is Asher Lev."

The book was wonderful.  I did not know it was also a play.

The book is a favorite of Richard's.  I read it a long time ago, but he recently re-read it.  I had him give me a plot summary this morning.  I'm a little skeptical about its treatment by our local thespians, but we'll see.

Film at 11.

I hope it is good and look forward to your report.

Wait no longer, DR ChasSmith!  The play was performed without an intermission, so we were home before 10.  Gracie’s was delightful and the food was very good.  Richard had the pork chop and I had a Caesar salad topped with 2 slabs of grilled salmon.  We shared a bottle of Reisling and the apple crisp for our free dessert.

If it's the play version by Aaron Posner, I'd seen that at the Arden Theater in Philadelphia.  Really excellent telling of the story.

I just listened to some of the Eileen Rodgers & Hal Linden Anything Goes cast album, and the Mary Martin one.  How totally strange these arrangements seem now, once one has crash-learned and binged on the Beaumont version.

Yeah, but Eileen Rodgers gives that recording a life that is just irresistible.

Watching the beginning of Limelight. I have never seen it before. Chaplin is intriguing.

I could always watch Mitchum in absolutely anything, but favorites would include:

THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER
FAREWELL, MY LOVELY
CAPE FEAR
THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE
and probably RYAN'S DAUGHTER -- if I ever got around to watching it (!)

Also, I always regretted having never watched THE WINDS OF WAR and WAR AND REMEMBRANCE when the rest of the world was tuned in.

Saturday afternoon greetings!  It's another rainy day here in SW Ohio, but Richard and I have a date tonight.  We're going to dinner at Gracie's (http://www.graciesmiddletown.com/) and then to see Middletown Lyric Theatre's "My Name is Asher Lev."

If it's the play version by Aaron Posner, I'd seen that at the Arden Theater in Philadelphia.  Really excellent telling of the story.

It is, indeed, Aaron Posner’s version and MLT did a good job with it.  Richard thought it was very true to the book.

Oh good 😊

Did you read the books?  I loved them and was very upset at much of the casting for the series.

One of my favorite Mitchum films is The Last Time I Saw Archie.  Never released in any format on home video -

Back in 1975, I used to love MATCH GAME ‘75.  I thought it was so witty and so naughty.  Watching it again on Netflix, it was really pretty awful.

I watched a Nova program about the Kennedy assassination.  They decided that Lee dit it alone, so, of course, I disliked the program.

I am half-way through a book that Sharry gave me.  We both thought it was about the assassination itself, but it really is about the Warren Commission.  It is 600+ pages.

I went out in search of Girl Scout cookies today.  They were nowhere to be found, so maybe the sale starts in March.

I went to the G.S. website.  It told me to input my zip code and it would tell me where to find the cookies.  Every time i entered the zip code it would take me back to the exact same page.  Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Apparently the start date for the cookie sale this year is a state secret.  I blame Trump.

The scouts were selling them last weekend in front of the market.  Maybe you can find them tomorrow.   My friend in Portland is selling them.  I can send you some.

I remember when DR Vixmom would mail orders of cookies.

Never go to the grocery store when you are hungry!  Today I bought a giant size bag of pizza rolls.  I like pizza rolls, but I seldom eat them.

It is lucky that my scooter has a very small basket, or who knows what I might have purchased.

Yes, going to the market while hungry is very dangerous.

Sometimes I get a banana to eat on the way home, better than donuts.

Well, I woke up and just hung out in bed, working on some things on my computer.  In the afternoon, I went to the Olympia PFLAG board meeting with my sister and niece.  Then I went with my friend Margo to see the Olympia School District's staff (mostly) production of Hello, Dolly!  After the show (it was pretty good for a bunch of school employees), we went to El Sarape for dinner.  Now, I'm home.
