Never saw BULLET TRAIN.

I do love thrill ride kind of movies, but there are either too many to name or I'm just brain dead on thinking of them this morning.

Monday morning greetings!  We had a very quiet Christmas Day that concluded with a visit with Mom.  Not the most upbeat way to spend the holiday, but there it is.

I out-slept our entire household, including Paramedic Rob who worked until midnight.  We're all taking it easy today, Richard and I watching the Miami Redhawks in the St. Petersburg Bowl - Love & Honor!

The actor George S. Irving has died.  I saw him backstage at Encores! last spring, and he was rather crabby.  I felt bad because I'v worked on and off wth him since around 1982.

Enjoy the Alamo, Jane. I have yet to tour it.
I did.  It is free.  It is knowing the history that makes it special.

We finally found shirts we like.  We went for a long gone walk along the section where the original. US Armory was.  There weren't any tourist and it felt like a long narrow park with nice homes along the water.

I should have purchased shorts to go with the t-shirt,  not complaining though.  I am happy it is not cold

Wow.  He was 94 years old.  I'm sure he had quite the life!

We watched Florence Foster Jenkins. Great acting, story very well told.

I'm up, I'm up.  Got up literally five minutes before the morning visit/meeting happened after almost eight hours of sleep.

Morning meeting lasted about an hour, then I tried to go to Jerry's Deli for food but the parking lot was full and I knew it would be an ordeal because everyone in Studio City, despite the leftovers they must have, all have to go out and eat.  I went to Du-Par's, also really crowded where there's never anyone there at lunch.  It took about ten minutes but I got a booth and had bacon and eggs.

I don't ever recall a year in which the day after Christmas was a bank and mail holiday - EVER.  And yet...

Yes, I went through the top portion of the hall closet again and pulled out about thirty CDs to transfer into iTunes - most of them just selections not entire CDs.  As I'm doing this, listening to the wonderfully tuneful Robert Russell Bennett violin concerto with Louis Kaufman soloing.  We issued this on Bay Cities and I became very friendly with Mr. Kaufman - he was a wonderful man.  The conductor of this is someone called Bernard Herrmann.

I had a little cherry loaf.  No more "real" food today, though.
