BK, I think the first time I recognized you in a commercial was around 1981 or 82, after I'd seen The First Nudie Musical. It was a car commercial and you were sitting in the driver's seat.

I slept horribly last night; itt was too cool to not sleep under a blanket and it was too warm to sleep under a blanket. I drove the cats crazy flipping blankets on and off,.but I do remember two dreams, one about the Victor Herbert operetta Eileen, and the other asbout theold Middletown public library, which was my home away from home between 1958 and 1964.

I had a rude surprise yesterday: my podiatrist - I swear she never mentioned this to me! - has referred me to a vascular surgeon! I know she was concerned about the poor circulation in my feet, but this was a complete surprise.  Today I will make an appointent and see this surgeon.

There was a print review that has always stuck with me. I don't have the exact quote, but it started with an image of pushing a piano down a flight of stairs.
Marlowe was compared to that scenario unfavorably.

Weird dream last night. I somehow was a consultant to the pop rock group America. They were planning a comeback album of cover tunes from their heyday. I suggested Suite: Judy Blue Eyes and Woodstock. They liked both songs but did not like Crosby, Stills and Nash as people.

Post by: ChasSmith on September 14, 2022, 06:22:02 AM
I had an okay sleep until 5:15 am when I woke up and was feeling way too warm in bed, even with the fan turned on. I knew last night it wasn't warm enough to turn the AC on, but at 5:15 I was questioning that decision. I visited the necessary and got a tiny bit more sleep, but never really got comfortable enough. So color me surprised when I got up later and found the house very chilly. Why had my room been so warm? Because what I should have done was open a window last night. I wouldn't have needed the fan, and the temperature would have been quite nice. Well, I looked at the weather, and I can do that the next few nights for sure.

My brother Randy just called. The buyer who wanted the property has offered us a considerably less sum than before for the property, and I think we will take it, just to get all this madness off our back for good. Our rationale is that if we put it up fort auction, we might end up with comnsiderably less than they are offering. We could also end up with considerably more, but I think we need to stop gambling and just unload it.

Post by: ChasSmith on September 14, 2022, 09:25:18 AM
I just blew an entire morning going down a completely unplanned rabbit hole.

So often, it only takes one tiny insignificant question popping into one’s head. You think, yeah, as long as I'm sitting here I’ll just take a minute and see if I can look that up ... and that’s it. I ended up with some other good finds, while the original thing remains a mystery. And it really is insignificant, since I was never in the place or knew anyone who was. I just have a memory of seeing it many times in passing, and I'm curious about it.

But ... guess what! It's ASK BK DAY, that's what!  :)

So ...

BK, there was something that looked like a nice restaurant on the north side of Wilshire between Robertson and La Cienega. When I lived on Clark Dr. in the late 1970s I could walk to Dolores or the Fine Arts, and I was always struck by its subtle low-lit design. I'm sure I saw its name then, but the place wasn't anything flashy, with no big signage or anything. Does that make any sense at all?

I have been reading Broadway Revival by Laura Frankos. It's not the best-written book ever, but it is intriguing.

A person travels back to the 1930s from 2070 and tries to prevent George Gershwin from succumbing to his medical issues. At this point in the story, our protagonist has become a rehearsal pianist to Cole Porter for the original production of Jubilee.

I just blew an entire morning going down a completely unplanned rabbit hole.

So often, it only takes one tiny insignificant question popping into one’s head. You think, yeah, as long as I'm sitting here I’ll just take a minute and see if I can look that up ... and that’s it. I ended up with some other good finds, while the original thing remains a mystery. And it really is insignificant, since I was never in the place or knew anyone who was. I just have a memory of seeing it many times in passing, and I'm curious about it.

But ... guess what! It's ASK BK DAY, that's what!  :)

So ...

BK, there was something that looked like a nice restaurant on the north side of Wilshire between Robertson and La Cienega. When I lived on Clark Dr. in the late 1970s I could walk to Dolores or the Fine Arts, and I was always struck by its subtle low-lit design. I'm sure I saw its name then, but the place wasn't anything flashy, with no big signage or anything. Does that make any sense at all?

I know what you're talking about because I ate there one New Year's Eve. Ah, yes, Andre's Continental Cuisine - it was great and I remember that dinner very well. It was two to three blocks west of the Fine Arts. The building still seems to be there and is vacant. 8635 Wilshire Blvd.

My brother Randy just called. The buyer who wanted the property has offered us a considerably less sum than before for the property, and I think we will take it, just to get all this madness off our back for good. Our rationale is that if we put it up fort auction, we might end up with comnsiderably less than they are offering. We could also end up with considerably more, but I think we need to stop gambling and just unload it.

Hopefully, it'll FINALLY be sold!!

A bean burger is a very different animal in San Antonio. Here it’s a regular burger topped with refried beans, Fritos, slivers of jalapeño (optional), onions and Cheez Whiz. I like it with salsa.
