Well, you've read  the notes, the notes had another screed, and now it is time for you to post until the screed-spouting cows come home.

Today, I have no plans.  I probably should do some more laundry, so we'll see about that.  I'm pretty much caught up with my TV watching.  I do need to work on some Blu-rays and DVDs, so hopefully, I get my act together and get some of those done. ;)

Last night was a bad night of sleep.  I suspect that by noon the cats and I will be sharing space on my bed.

DR Jane, yesterday morning Amy Cooper's employers had put her on hold.  By late afternoon they made the decision to fire her.  I suspect they were getting requests to sack her, and the incriminating video was probably the coup de grâce.

I suspect that one of the major reasons the Macbeths were so down on me in 2006 is because I was not in Ohio suffering through care for our dad as they were.  When he moved out of their house and moved in with Randy and Jo, I never heard a complaint from them about him.

It's already 65F and too humid.  This could be a bad day.

Thanks.  Interesting that I "confirmed " she had not been fired before posting that.  It seems what I thought were the latest news stories weren't.

When I can't afford a whole SCILICE, I go ahead and buy a SCILICET.

Well MR BK what are you waiting for?  Go ahead and watch THE SAND PEBBLES.

I don't know about it being Steve McQueen's best performance, but he is very, very good in it.  Candice Bergen has her moments.  But the supporting cast really shines.

Walter Denton does a great job here.  And this is my favorite David Attenborough performance right up there with BRIGHTEN BEACH.

I also learned that actor Joe DeRida is not the same actor that was in the Three Stooges movies.

It's LONG but it's interesting.....slow moving.....but it gets there.

Fascinating obit of a film music editor who died at 99. She worked on some great movies, including Tootsie, but it’s her personal story that is captivating.

I have SAND PEBBLES guilt. I've started to watch it a couple of times, but apparently when I wasn't "into it" or in the right mood or whatever, and never continued.

Hmm. Checking now, it seems I didn't get it on Blu-ray. But I have the "deluxe" DVD set with the theatrical and what I guess would be the roadshow version. I've knocked a couple of things off the To Watch pile, so I'm going to add this one to it.
