Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a first paragraph about annoying things, and now it is time for you to post until the annoying cows come home.

George, did Annette Benning say that the Captain Marvel’s character’s name is Danvers?  Isn’t that the last name of Supergirl?

I've never watched Supergirl, but Captain Marvel's "real" name is Carol Danvers.

Interesting.  You're right, Tom.  I just looked up Supergirl (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4016454/?ref_=nv_sr_1) on IMDb and her "real" name is Kara Danvers.

DR TCB, I think Love, Simon was the only film I saw in a theatre last year.  I think I saw it with goddaughter Charlotte.  I enjoyed it, but you are right: it was no groundbreaker.  It was fun, and the cast was really good.

Last night, Annabelle and I watched half of the film of Black Beauty from the 1990s, with Alan Cummings as the voice of Black Beauty.  Annabelle really got into the scenes of the horses romping around the pasture, and she watched it quite intently.  The cast was good - Eleanor Bron, Alun Armstrong, Jim Carter, Sean Bean - but after an hour, I began to get bored.  Some of the scenes were so dark that I had no idea what was going on, I could not get the volume to a good audible level, and I decided I would rather read Anna Sewell's book.  I think I will stop at Barnes and Noble on my way to the orchestra reading this morning and see if I can buy a copy of the book.

I found the movie sweet. And perhaps that was what was so groundbreaking for others. It treated its subject as normally as possible. Sad.

It’s a dead tired kind of morning.

Fortunately, it’s also my one day without a rehearsal or show, just an informal birthday dinner to go out for this evening which will be relaxing and enjoyable.

Starting tomorrow, though, nine straight days of commuting to Poughkeepsie and Dolly!

I'm up for the time being - nauseous a little.  Will go back to bed shortly.  But I awoke to an e-mail that The Cardinal is ready to ship - they did it really fast for them, so that was a rather humungous wire transfer to make, and I also have to pay the whopping pressing bill for our five-title release today - it make me even more nauseous to put out money like that all in one day, but everything will be current

I think we might watch an episode or two of THE RIVER.  I thought it was the 2012 show and just noticed there is a different show with the same title from 2017.  I think this might be the correct show.  I need to ask Keith.

Yes....GOTHAM and THE ORVILLE had good episodes last night.

THE ORVILLE is tense to be sure.....I like the show a lot.....and yes DR VIXMOM starting at the beginning might be a good idea.  And it does get better as it goes along. 

But then I like Seth McFarlane a LOT.....we have similar senses of humor I would think....or so it seems.  He also released a couple of nice CD's.....

Friday morning greetings!  Remember on Tuesday I had to scramble to get something ready for overnight mailing in order to meet a Wednesday deadline?  Well, Thursday afternoon the recipient notified me that it had not arrived, even though the tracking said it had been expected at noon on Wednesday.  This morning I went to the post office - twice - and did get back the $25.60 I'd spent on overnight postage, but that still doesn't get the original job done and I'm extremely frustrated.  This is a process that we should be doing electronically anyway, but the organization is not operating in the 21st century.  That's why I quit their board more than 10 years ago.

Alexa had a wonderful time working with Bruce and Alby yesterday.  She found BK a great coach, said she gained much "insight" and it was invaluable for her in every way.   I'll try to post a pic from after the session.

It was a COLD afternoon.  We've had little a bit of SNOW around parts of LA, really crazy weather, but nothing compared to Arizona and Nevada which has had real flurries.   Sun's out now and hopefully warming up a bit.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

What a weird day, mostly due to an unsettling message on my cell phone - I think it may be phishing but not sure really.  And I'm not returning the call, that much I know.

I NEVER return phone calls, even from numbers that I recognize.  If they don't leave a message asking me to call back (or to just leave a message), then I feel like they don't need me to call back.  And, accidental wrong numbers won't be called back, either.

...and the recipient just notified me that the envelope was delivered at 3pm today - only 51 hours late.  But she says they’ll consider us on time.

The USPS certainly didn’t make any money on this transaction.

Excellent and I am glad it was received so there is no doubt that you did send it ahead of the deadline.

Alexa had a wonderful time working with Bruce and Alby yesterday.  She found BK a great coach, said she gained much "insight" and it was invaluable for her in every way.   I'll try to post a pic from after the session.

It was a COLD afternoon.  We've had little a bit of SNOW around parts of LA, really crazy weather, but nothing compared to Arizona and Nevada which has had real flurries.   Sun's out now and hopefully warming up a bit.  Have a wonderful weekend everyone. 

Thank you for the personal touch and I look forward to seeing the photo.

Yes, it has been VERY cold here lately. While driving east today I could see snow--lots of it--on the mountains. Would those be the San Gabriel Mountains? Does anyone know? The Santa Monica Mountains do NOT have snow.

I learned today that my neighbor's car was broken into a few nights ago and some items stolen. Her parking space is right next to mine. The guy on the other side of me had left his car unlocked by mistake and a couple low-value items were taken from his car that same night. This is frightening. There's no question that cars often get vandalized while parked on the street -- it happened to me twice -- but not in our little carport.

I NEVER leave anything of value in my car where it can be seen, but, of course, that is no guarantee.

Last week I received a call from a number I didn't recognize. Often people I need to speak to call from other numbers, so I answer those calls. A male voice I didn't recognize asked, "Did someone call me?" "Not me." Call you? I don't even know who you are! He thanked me and hung up. Did my number find it's way into his phone?  I still don't know how this happened. I didn't think I'd even made a call that day.

If I don't leave a message I don't expect a call back. And I don't leave a message if I know I won't be available to take the call.

That's terrible!  Fortunately, I've never had my car broken into.  It's been keyed, but not broken into.  A couple of friends have had their cars broken into, and one had VERY valuable (to him) vocal scores and music stolen.  He's a music and voice teacher, so it basically was all his teaching material. :-\
