Here is the bedspread I ordered:




Very nice, Ginny!

Thanks, DR George!

Say what you will about George Nader's acting abilities, but he always looked good on-screen!



And the posters for his movies looked pretty good, also!

George looks good on my screen, DR MBarnum!        8)

And on mine, too! :D

And, as I predicted, the electricians will not finish today.  They made great progress, but will have to come back tomorrow to do three small things in our bedroom and one in the downstairs bath.  When they ARE finished every room in the house will have received some attention, including the garage (but not the basement).

Next up, the plumber, who finally returned Richard's call.  Seems she fell out of a car that was going 55 mph and is recovering from several broken bones.  Assuming she feels OK, she's coming Friday to scope out what we need done upstairs.

So, right after I wrote the post about Mike Connors, he looked over at me and smiled and said hello.  I leaned over and told him the story I've wanted to tell him since it happened - it's in There's Mel - that as a young actor doing his very first TV guest shot, I'd walked on the Paramount lot and the first person I saw was him and that he'd waved and smiled at me and how that made me feel I was really a part of the profession.  He seemed pleased to hear it.

Back from lunch.  Ate at a Cambodian restaurant.  Had beef simmered in peanut butter sauce served on a bed of spinach w/white rice.

Also had some spring rolls as appetizers.

A complimentary desert was offered:  Fried bananas w/vanilla ice cream.

I'm so full I could pop!

:o I wonder how long ago she fall out of the car?  Must not have been too recently if she's working again.

BK, I am so glad you talked to Mike Connors and told him that story!! I bet he did enjoy hearing it!


My friend Jackie Loughery lives in the same Encino neighborhood as Mr. Connors; just around the corner in fact. They have been neighbors for at least some 40 years (they may have even worked together at one time or another, I am not sure). Jackie says he is very nice guy, and she was nice enough to drive me past his house when I last visited. It was fun!

Apparently the door wasn't closed tightly and she wasn't wearing a seatbelt.  She told Richard the accident was about a month ago.

It was a great story in the book, and it's even better now with a postscript.

I love the Huffington Post's current headline on the Germany-Brazil World Cup game. It simply says "Waxed" and it shows a woman screaming in agony, supposedly because Germany trounced Brazil, 7-1.

I was wondering the same thing.  Wouldn't the light be on in the car if the door was not closed. And not wearing a seat belt. Do people still do this?
