ACCIDENT - I’ve been really looking forward to this restoration of Joseph Losey’s 1967 masterwork. A fascinating film of great subtlety and understatement which I loved when it was first released. The photography is splendid and this restoration at last makes the film look much as it did in 35mm.

TCB, Amazon gives you Aesop's Fables as a freebie when you download the Kindle App (maybe so that your bookshelf won't be empty?) I also got a dictionary when I downloaded it. I only took the damn app because there are some books that are not available on Sony (my e-reader is a Sony) and I'm not buying a Kindle just to get more books. I now have the 2 books that I wanted and all is well.
DR TCB, I considered typing out the cast list of PETER PAN for you -- but for all the effort involved, there probably wouldn't be anybody you ever heard of.
It's Friday! That can only mean one thing-- tomorrow's Saturday!

Ok, I tried the muffin pan thing.
I'm beginning to think my mom was right when she said, "why not just coat the inside of the muffin tin"
It was fun to try and I'm still eating chocolate chip cookies
Ok, the cookie thing sort of worked. I got one out of four to come off the pan as a bowl. I think with a lot less dough and a little more practice I could actually make it work.

There's an actress here in Austin who wants to stage a production of my play, LOMBARD, with me directing.
We went to look at a theater the other day, and the play would work very well there.
I think she would be quite good in the role.
Now, all she has to do is raise the budget.

There was an article in the paper here today about the new baseball/Jackie Robinson movie. They expressed disappointment that his time in Montreal was not even really mentioned. That is a shame since he was a big deal here. The writer thought that maybe it was because people in Montreal loved him so much. And it wouldn't have fit with the theme of the movie/ all the problems he had in the US. Still sad. I was really looking forward to seeing that part of the movie.

Friday morning greetings! We are waiting for the window washers. We've taken down all the curtains and I'm washing the ones that can be. The downstairs ones that aren't washable are in the dryer on "air only" to get the dust out. The upstairs ones are going to the dry cleaners. Of course, since the window crew will also install our screens, the weather has turned cold and blustery ::)

Glad to hear about the changes to the radio program. I'll finally be able to listen again when things are complete. I don't listen now because I don't have that other piece of time sucking, computer fouling software called Real or Real Player (or Real Piece of S**t as I like to call it). It has screwed up every single computer I've ever had. It's a bloated piece of garbage and I completely understand why Vixdad refused to let Vixmom have it on her computer. If it was only one computer I might let it go but, as I said, it screwed things up on every single computer I have ever owned since the late 90s. I'm glad you will finally be getting rid of that program and moving into the 21st Century.

Has anyone hear heard about "Superfocus" eyeglasses? I saw an ad for it last night on CNN and was intrigued. There are no suppliers by my home and I've been reading both good and bad reviews about them, but I would like to hear a first hand report on them.

There is the Miss Havisham way of doing things. Simply let them rot off the curtain rods before considering replacing them.
Now, ChasSmith, do they load themselves? Do dirty clothes fly off the floor and into their bubbling arms? That's the kind of washer/dryer I need.
DR Chas your new machines look very nice.
I don't worship at the altar of Apple. I don't worship at the altar of anyone, actually, but especially not Apple.

Thank you, DR Jane. Now I just have to learn how to use them, and especially how to avoid a mold build-up in the washer door, which I understand is common in front-loaders.

That would not do in the Men's Rest Room.
Am having McBreakfast:
Sausage McBiscuit
Hash Brown McPotatoes
and a quad latte from Peet's.
Turnips.
Turnips are tubers.
I have eaten turnips.
I prefer turnip greens (love 'em, actually).
The turnip, itself, does nothing for me, but it's nutritious. My mother used to cook turnips until they had a consistency like grits or farina. The taste is not repulsive, but it is also not yummy (to me). Still, I've occasionally had diced (in tiny cubes) turnips mixed in with greens and they are just fine that way.

That would be a nice bonus -- but what I, DR ChasSmith, need, are the kind that finish the load and sort and fold and put the clothes on hangers and put them away.

DR Mike, I looked into Superfocus about a week or two ago. Interesting idea! I decided against them for myself because the bridge of my nose is small and yet i must have a good bridge fit. I'm highly myopic ("high minus") plus have an astigmatism, so correct fit is very important. Superfocus only offers four frame styles and all have a wide bridge. They have to because the bridge is where the little pinwheel for the adjustment is. They have nose pads, which are adjustable, but I've never been comfortable with them. On the plus side, they can handle a high minus Rx (not everyone can).
As for prices, here is what I was quoted:
Leonardo frame.....................$475
Clear lens.................................50
Hi-index lens............................90
Total ...................................$624 plus sales tax
That's actually fairly competitive for my lenses, plus you'd have a wider range of vision vs a progressive. I don't know of anyone who has worn one, but the testimonials are impressive. If you find someone who has they and will refer you, you'll get 10% off.
I got Seusical to load, but it loaded each Annie song as a separate album.

So, if we don't like opera, is she still alive?
Well, I managed to get Annie on there. I had to add each song, and then put them in the correct order. I also made a playlist of the "best" songs, because she'll probably want to listen to those, mostly.
Spoke with my nephew --he's very excited about the competition next week in Baltimore. He has about 15 people coming to see him, almost all from the Buffalo area.
