I too watched a turd of a movie last night: Becoming Ms. Bennet also known as Pride and Prejudice, Cut.  Like the musical Birds of Paradise, in which the cast rehearsing Chekhov's The Seagull are living Chekhov's plot, the cast of a new film version of Miss Austen's comic novel are living the plot. There were two real problem with the film: the screenplay and the cast, most of whom were unknown British actors who may remain so. As to the screenplay, oy!, a particular mess when the actors are rehearsing scenes for Pride and Prejudice, in which the dialogue is a curious mix of mangled Austen and contemporary English.

I'm supposed to see Gaslight at the Bedford Playhouse this evening.

We shall see. I always enjoy going there, but I've got so much on my plate to get done here over these next few days that it just might not happen.

It's always an enjoyable escape, though. I should just do it. I will, however, have to go out today and fill the tank. The price of which I just now remembered might be an unpleasant surprise. Well, there's no escaping it.

So it is starting at the state level now. Democrats have no committee chairs here in Texas. They have no control over what bills are introduced, and they cannot amend bills. They have lost the checks and balances. They have lost influence over policies. They cannot shape the public narrative of what is actually happening in chambers. Republicans have the Senate majority by seven seats and the house majority by 26.

This is horrible.  I'm reading about it now.

others like Rep. Daniel Alders are worried it could set a new precedent for partisanship politics.

"There's been more of a tradition of bipartisanship," Barrett said. "George W. Bush famously worked with the Democrats in the Texas House when he was governor and so what you're seeing today is certainly an indicator that we're moving past that era of bipartisanship and we're in a more polarized political situation."

While Democrats won't be able able to serve as committee chairs, the new rules ensure that the minority party serves as vice chairs on House committees. Both Barrett and Hefner say this keeps Democrats involved in the legislative process."

In breaking news, I have decided NOT to go see Gaslight tonight.

If it were some movie I'm absolutely dying to see, then yes, of course I would. But I'm sick of the cold nights (it's not even groundhog day yet), and tonight I can do without the cold and the 45-minute drive each way. It's a PERFECT night for staying in, eating some kind of comfort food, sinking into the movie-watching couch, and enjoying something right here.

DR Freddie, if published I will read your father's book.

Thank you, Jane!

I already hit a roadblock.  My eyes are exceptionally bad today and it is hard for me to read the link you put up. 


I guess it's not that easy to read that pdf on some computers. 

But I'm very glad to have his remembrances up on that site.



It is my eyes vs the pdf.

Hi DR Iris.  How was your appointment with the oncologist?

Post by: DR Iris on January 28, 2025, 04:23:08 PM
The radiation oncologist at Hopkins is wonderful.

I will begin treatment here in Baltimore in a few weeks.

Decided against Sedona for several reasons, including wanting to be close when my future grandson decides to make his appearance, probably the end of March.

My friend’s brother is now allowed back, but there is arsenic contamination in the water from the fires. He will continue to stay in a hotel while everything gets cleaned and repainted. Quite a mess, but he is very thankful that his house is standing.
