And speaking of niece Taylor, I am on my way to making her a Bollywood fan. She indicated a couple of months back that she would enjoy having some India Festival music (as she calls my Bollywood music when she hears it in my car).

So, this weekend I got her the CD soundtracks to DOSTONA and JANNE TU YE JAANE NA. She absolutely loves them and she has been making her parents play them in the car whenever they drive someplace, while she looks at the CD inserts with the Hindi lyrics written out and has been pronouncing the titles to the songs pretty darn well. She just found it all very fascinating.

Part of the fascination had to do with my taking her to Festival India last summer and then the other month she went to a birthday party for her friend Shreya and Taylor was the only non-Indian there.

Taylor's mom Jamie, by the way, found the pictures of John Abraham in the CD insert quite fascinating.

Before I write to him, I would like a simple answer - has anyone heard back from dear reader or not, Jose.

I did not write him. I can see on FB he isn't answering direct questions. He has put up a few photos and that is about it. I think for awhile he didn't have a connection. I have no idea if that is still a problem. My guess, he is recharging & taking a break from the commuter, other activities & catching up with friends he hasn't seen in a long while.

Why would anyone want to do that when they could be with friends HERE?

I am listening to CDs and am just about through with the seventeen CD set of Vladimir Cosma soundtracks. It's a great set - listening to the mini-series score to Mistral's Daughter.

Well, no one can say we didn't get to page four.

I was originally going to just sit with a friend at dinner because of my lunch appointment, but now that lunch was cancelled I can actually eat some dinner - all I've had today were a few caramels.

I blame JMK. I'd blame Jose, but frankly I don't remember him anymore.

I found out today that the Promises CDs will be here next Tuesday or Wednesday. So, I can do postage over the weekend.

Hopefully I can find a helper by then.

I think the next Adriana Hofstetter book shoule be about Adriana and the Haunted House.

If you Don't use that idea, then I will have to drag out my young people's detective character and I am not sure if the public is quite ready for:

LITTLE TOMMY CUPCAKE AND THE HAUNTED FILM STUDIO!

Wow, fifty-four more posts until all 5s.

I have a couple of ideas for Adriana's next adventure, one of which is to take her out of LA for one book - not sure I want to do that just yet, but eventually one of the books will probably take place in NY.

I blame JMK, who is just sitting there like a lump of whitefish.

A Lump of Whitefish - that's the title of my next novel.

I wonder where I shall sup. I think we'll be eating around six-thirty, so two hours till food - I'm quite hungry and I blame JMK.

JMK · « **Reply #112 on:** June 22, 2010, 04:28:34 PM »

Sorry, nothing to say, but at least I drop by once in a while.

JMK · « **Reply #113 on:** June 22, 2010, 04:28:55 PM »

We could start a "We blame Jose" FB page. Really.

I can talk about our driveway. I know it is an exciting subject.

It will be for us next winter. Apparently the new driveway will be less slippery than the old one.

I've been having a fun e-mail volley about the benefit - they sent me a suggested song list and I could see right away they were getting confused with the cut songs and the flop musical songs - they had half and half. I explained that we had to do one or the other or that we could split the acts and do half cut songs and half unsung songs - that might be fun, too. So, we're having a phoner in the morning to hash out the details. I want to make absolutely sure this is all real before getting too heavy into it, but I've already asked Adam Cates to choreograph. They've already spoken to a musical director, which I kind of wish they hadn't. However, if he says no, then I'll either ask Todd Ellison or Lanny Meyers to do it - if not them, then maybe Larry Goldberg, who did The Brain in NY.

I think all sabbaticals should be banned. Let's start a FB page entitled All Sabbaticals Should Be Banned.

I must say some of the news feed items of my "friends" are truly irritating.

bk · « **Reply #119 on:** June 22, 2010, 04:33:08 PM »

And I blame JMK for that.
