I went to the WalMart Store today.

Sunday my brother Dane and his wife Pam and sisters Paula and Molly want to come over and listen to comedy records.....

Of course I can't find them......but I was able to find a couple of them online to download.  We will be listening to Allan Sherman - My Son, The Folk Singer & My Son, The Celebrity along with The First Family. 

I also discovered that there was a second Vaughn Meador First Family album released in March, 1963.  I had never heard or heard of it....so I have downloaded it as well.

I cannot find my LP called The Absurd Imposters by Jim Coyle & Mal Sharpe.  And it's not online.  They went out with hidden microphones and talked people into doing hilarious things.....saying numbers, agreeing to give them their lunch, and that they were buying a dollhouse for their gnomes to live in.....

I'm up, I'm up - I've been up more than I've been asleep, if you must know.  I was in bed by one-thirty, tossed and turned until three, was up until four, finally slept and up at seven - three hours.  Not good.  Must get some sleep later when I get back home.

I wonder if I ever got all the way through Last Year at Marienbad in one sitting. Serious question. I saw it once at one of the revival houses years ago, but that might very well have been one of those times when I dozed off in a theater. And trust me, I've done that in front of way more exciting films. But I always made up for it by sitting through it again (because once I wake up from that little snooze, I'm fine) or by returning to see it again shortly thereafter. But this one, who knows? I have definitely started it a few times at home without making it through. It sounds like I should put that Kino on my list.

I had a nice email exchange with Singdaw - he was worried about coming back but would like to post surgery - he really stopped coming because his time got crazy busy and he felt bad about not being here every day.  I told him to definitely come here to let us know how he is and to take whatever comfort he can when he feels like it.

Had some matzoh brei at Jerry's - only three hundred calories or thereabouts.  I put gas in the motor car, went to Gelson's and got the Wolfgang Puck chicken Caesar for later, which should bring me right up to 1000 calories, my goal now every day until I lose a good deal of weight.

Do you know what I'd never heard?  Verdi's Messa da Requiem, a very famous piece or so I'm told.  I didn't think I was a Verdi fan but this piece is seriously beautiful and Barbirolli and his singers do it up brown.  One wishes the band were a bit more present, but I liked it enough to want to get the Ormandy version, which is supposed to be incredible.

Now playing, something called Dido and Aeneas by someone named Purcell - we'll see if I like it.  It's baroque I guess and I do like baroque.  Then comes the Barbirolli Madame Butterfly with Renata Scotto - that's supposed to be a great recording.

Toscanini owned it. But any of the great conductors — I’m thinking along the lines of Reiner, Leinsdorf, Munch, but I can’t remember if any of them recorded it. Seems like one of them had it in the RCA Soria Series. Oh, that was Reiner. But yes, Ormandy.

Listening to an odd pandemic novel, The End of October. It's set in present times, and Putin is a villain at the same time as the coronavirus that's killing off much of the world.

Chadwick Boseman has died at 43.

I was just checking to see if somone posted this sad news.  He was way too young to have colon cancer.

I just saw Boseman in Da 5 Bloods. Had no idea he was filming between chemo treatments. Apparently he fought colon cancer for the last 4 years.

Sad.

Four years!  That means he was 38 when he was diagnosed  :(

I have been reading about the rise in colon cancer in younger people.  The age for testing has been dropped from 50 to 45 but these younger people mentioned seem to be in their 30s.  The young age is often a more aggressive cancer :(

Because of my father I was 49 when I had my first test and that was after avoiding it for two years.

Today I spoke to my sister.  I told her how I felt.  I laid it on the line.  And that was going to be it for now.

That was fine until she called tonight to tell me her hubby was having emergency surgery tomorrow morning.

The doctor called him at home at 5:45 this evening to tell him that the veins in his leg are 100% blocked.

The doctor was willing to assemble his staff on a Friday night to do the surgery this evening, but he refused (IDIOT!).

Instead he will enter the hospital tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m. for emergency surgery.

She's fine, but she rarely goes to Fred Meyer.  She asked me to get some for her because it's on sale...buy three 2-L bottles and get two for free!

I saw an episode on broadcast TV, but I don't have Disney Plus, so I haven't seen any other episodes.
