Hello, mates!

I had a really super-good night's sleep.

I dreamed dreams, I did.  I can even remember the start of one of them.  You have several people in a room and you have a card you give to each of them.  Each card has some picture or symbol on it that represents that person.  You give each person a pen and instruct them to write FREE across the face of the card.  They then take the cards, place them under their pillows, and then they report back on what their dreams were.

Odd, isn't it, how detailed the premise remains?  i do recall dreaming that these folks revealed the results, and that the results were interesting.  Yet, equally odd to me is that I do not recollect a single instance of any result.  Only that there were some.

But, i feel so rested, I don't care at all.

Question for BK:

You talk about the Pye release of the Wuthering Heights LP box set. Mine is the Unicorn, bought at Phil Harris in 1972 or maybe 1973. Are there any appreciable differences that you’re aware of?

Pye release was first, but it seems like it showed up on Unicorn later that year, although that makes no sense at all, so Discogs may be wrong. It was reissued by Unicorn after they absorbed Pye in 1971. Unicorn was not known for wonderful vinyl pressings, but I'm sure they're close.

"Yankee Doodle Dandy" is playing on TCM right now.

One of the tidbits of info about it offered by Mr. DaveKarger was that, at one time, both Mickey Rooney and Fred Astaire were being considered for playing Cohan.

I think Rooney would have been awful.   Not sure what I think it would have been like with Astaire.

We are fortunate that Cagney did it!!!

My grass is being cut right now.

Denny is out in the heat today because, he said, the yard looked awful.  It's 86 degrees, very sunny and the heat is like a "baking" heat.

We had a couple of torrential rains this past week.  The yard looked fine until the last one, and then all the grass went wild.

"Awful", to Denny, is "okay" for most other folks, so I didn't take it personally.

Next week will likely be hellishly hot, so it's likely best to have it done today anyway.

I could have been in and out of there in an hour, but Barry likes to schmooze with people whether he knows them or not, so we spent a lot of time doing that. But I met some wonderful folks, most importantly Kristy McNichol, who looks great at sixty. I told her the story of how we first met - at the Playboy Mansion back in 1982 or thereabouts - in the game room, me playing Frogger, her making out with whichever female she was with. She loved the story. Also, Walter Koenig, who knew my work from my acting days - he was very sweet. My old pal Leslie Eastabrook, who was in my show Start at the Top, Carol Its White, spent time yakking with George Chakiris, who has finally let his hair and beard go natural - full gray - and he looks great. I don't think he's sold on the look yet, but both Barry and I were effusive in our praise. Then we spent some nice time with Adrian Zmed and that was fun, plus some nice time with Donna Pescow. There were others I didn't really know and I don't remember their names. Barry also spoke for a brief minute to William Shatner who I was surprised to see had no line at all.

Prior to that, I had breakfast with Yacko at a place near him - I'd been there a couple of times before. Had the best omelet I've ever had - simple, perfect size, and so tasty - bacon and cheese, along with some excellent hash browns.

Barry and I went to the Daily Grill for lunch. We both had exactly the same thing - cup of clam chowder and a wedge salad with ranch dressing - very good.

The shocker was the admission price for one day - 30 bucks. And had I not lucked out, it would have been another ten for parking.

But I pulled in where I usually do and both entrance and exit arms were up. So, I parked near the medical building that's close to the Marriott and exited that same way, avoiding the gate they want you to exit from, where they charge.

I eventually did get a Demo Burger, but they were out of the regular beef burgers, so I got a DemoImpossible burger made with an Impossible burger patty.

With all the regular burger toppings, it was pretty tasty.

Dana, the president of Olympia's PFLAG chapter, suggested going out to eat to end the day.

Everyone agreed and six of us went to the local Mercato Ristorante (https://www.mercatoristorante.com/).

We all ate and chatted and drank water (I had a diet Coke with lemon...I asked for lime, though ::) ) and had a good meal as a celebratory ending to the whole day.
Title: Re: I SPY JULY

We all went to our respective homes (I assume) and then I took a much needed nap. ::)

I recently discovered that putting some Everything Bagel seasoning in the chow mein is a very good thing!

At first I missed the part about seasoning and thought how odd to put a bagel in there ;D

Yes, that would make a difference. ;)

Well, today is Olympia's Pride (https://www.capitalcitypride.net/mission).  I'll be down there to help PFLAG Olympia (http://pflag-olympia.org/) set up their tent/booth and just be there for a while.  My sister and her boyfriend are on the board, so I don't have much choice. ::)

;)

LOL, you would do it anyway if they asked.

Pretty much...and I did stay for the whole day.  I didn't leave early.

I have been listening to Flaherty and Ahrens’s score for Knoxville a few times recently. I really love it.

Mel Gibson isn't someone I think about or look for. I've enjoyed him fine in Lethal Weapon (I've only seen the first two) and Signs, but nothing else I might have known him in comes to mind. I never saw the other ones named here because the movies themselves didn't interest me...though there might be one or two I should see.


OMG!   SIGNS!!!  I love this film!!


I forgot about Signs, too!  I also really liked that one.

I could have been in and out of there in an hour, but Barry likes to schmooze with people whether he knows them or not, so we spent a lot of time doing that. But I met some wonderful folks, most importantly Kristy McNichol, who looks great at sixty. I told her the story of how we first met - at the Playboy Mansion back in 1982 or thereabouts - in the game room, me playing Frogger, her making out with whichever female she was with. She loved the story. Also, Walter Koenig, who knew my work from my acting days - he was very sweet. My old pal Leslie Eastabrook, who was in my show Start at the Top, Carol Its White, spent time yakking with George Chakiris, who has finally let his hair and beard go natural - full gray - and he looks great. I don't think he's sold on the look yet, but both Barry and I were effusive in our praise. Then we spent some nice time with Adrian Zmed and that was fun, plus some nice time with Donna Pescow. There were others I didn't really know and I don't remember their names. Barry also spoke for a brief minute to William Shatner who I was surprised to see had no line at all.

That's really cool, BK (except the part about William Shatner not having a line ::) ).

Prior to that, I had breakfast with Yacko at a place near him - I'd been there a couple of times before. Had the best omelet I've ever had - simple, perfect size, and so tasty - bacon and cheese, along with some excellent hash browns.

That sounds really good.

I stopped at the mail place and thankfully both important envelopes were there. Now, hopefully banks are open on Monday.

The holiday is Tuesday.  Both my credit unions are open on Monday, so I would expect that banks are, too.

Went out for breakfast. I had "Mo's Cajun Special." Eggs and ground beef over hashbrowns with a cheese sauce and Cajun spices. Delicious.
