TCB, I did.  Thanks.  Wish you could have met Teller - he's really fun.

I wish I could have met him, too.  I basically had to make a choice between Penn or Teller.  The crowd for Teller seemed not to be moving very quickly, so I picked Penn.
He was so nice and so gracious, with everyone, not just me.

TCB - I agree about the downtown area "experience" that they tout so much in Las Vegas. 

And there's so much exciting to see in all the regular attractions, that we kind of thought we'd wasted valuable time by going downtown.   Maybe if I were ever there on some very extended trip, I might give downtown another try, though.

Slept in a bit, again, but more due to a middle of the night allergy attack than anything.  I popped a Benadryl at 3:30 a.m. which took care of things, but it also keeps me drowsy so I get extra sleep.  I do not complain.

Yesterday at the supermarket, on a whim, I picked up a couple of breakfast burritos.  You should never go food shopping when you're hungry, right?  And they'll probably be awful.  But what's done is done, and I'll be having one soon with a sorely needed second cup of coffee.

Thursday morning greetings!  I'm getting ready to visit 2 local yarn shops as part of the 2016 I-75 Yarn Crawl, so will be away until late afternoon.  Not participating with as much gusto as some knitters, but at least I'll be eligible to compete for the "Short on Time" Prize (visiting 3 shops).

Speaking of competing, we're dropping in throughout the day on NBC online to see Kayla Harrison defend her 2012 gold medal in judo.  She's originally from Middletown and she has a pretty big fan base here.

Just signed a contract for a new book with BearManor Media.

The tentative titles is HOLLYWOOD SNAPSHOTS: The Forgotten Interviews.

It will contain the interviews that I did for my "Yesterday at the Movies" monthly column for Coronet magazine, plus all the interview notes from columns and my 1970s film books and my early stage plays in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection.  Most of these notes did not wind up in the books or plays because they didn't fit the narrative, nor wa it in my two memoirs.   There's some fascinating stuff her.

Among the people I interviewed: Claire Trevor, Jack Oakie, Mary Pickford, John Carradine, Paul Henreid, several of The Little Rascals, Howard Hawks, Ida Lupino, George Abbott, Mervyn LeRoy, etc.

No idea when this will be coming out.

Yesterday at the supermarket, on a whim, I picked up a couple of breakfast burritos.  You should never go food shopping when you're hungry, right?  And they'll probably be awful.  But what's done is done, and I'll be having one soon with a sorely needed second cup of coffee.

I drove through Taco Bell this morning for one of their breakfast burritos and they were out of eggs!  At 9:45 in the morning!  They serve breakfast until 11:00 am!!  WTH??  Anyway, I got one of their lunch menu items (Crunchwrap Supreme), and it was delish. :D

Good Morning.   Last night, for the first time in two weeks, I was able to sleep fully reclined (only on my left side, however).  I am ever so very much more refreshed as a result.

Just signed a contract for a new book with BearManor Media.

The tentative titles is HOLLYWOOD SNAPSHOTS: The Forgotten Interviews.

It will contain the interviews that I did for my "Yesterday at the Movies" monthly column for Coronet magazine, plus all the interview notes from columns and my 1970s film books and my early stage plays in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection.  Most of these notes did not wind up in the books or plays because they didn't fit the narrative, nor wa it in my two memoirs.   There's some fascinating stuff her.

Among the people I interviewed: Claire Trevor, Jack Oakie, Mary Pickford, John Carradine, Paul Henreid, several of The Little Rascals, Howard Hawks, Ida Lupino, George Abbott, Mervyn LeRoy, etc.

No idea when this will be coming out.

Congrats, Druxy!

I will spare you the details.  I did google the location and it is 11 minutes by car from him.  I was pretty sure by the description it wasn't his building, still I was tense until I could confirm it.

A little rant:

Many years ago, when I was working in the corporate world, many of my co-workers and I joined the company credit union. This is where we obtained financing for new cars and also started savings accounts. Even though I left that company many years ago, I kept the credit union account open just in case.

Over the last few years I've received THREE phone calls from them, DEMANDING that I either deposit more money or close the account. All three calls have been from different people and none was courteous in the least, although one of them claimed it was a "courtesy call." This really frosts me. Whatever happened to common courtesy? To trying to retain your customers? I could easily deposit more money, but I have an knee-jerk reaction when it comes to behavior I find obnoxious. This morning I went to their website and filed a complaint.

It has seemed to me for a long time that there is a big gap between, say, over-50 folks such as myself and younger people. I am often appalled at how younger people talk to one another. One website I buy from sends snarky emails. WHAT? When I pointed this out to one of their customer service people she replied, "My grandmother says the same thing." There seems to be a black hole where courtesy and respect used to be.

In the meantime, we'll see if my complaint receives any attention from the credit union. I'm quite prepared to simply close the account. I've always been an advocate of credit unions, but I'm NOT an advocate of Attila the Hun customer service.

Congratulations, DR Druxy. Major Ida Lupino fan. Any previews?

I don't know if I ever mentioned this here.

As most of you know, when I was growing up my father worked in the studios. When I was nine or ten, my father came home one day with what looked like a bunch of panels made of plywood. In those days much was thrown out. He assembled them into their original configuration: two attached dressing rooms. One was for "Mr Adams" and the other for "Eve." As they were going to be thrown out, he'd grabbed them for me to use as a playhouse. They sat in our back yard for some time.
