Good morning, all!

BK, there's no post from you today. It's the one for Friday. Did you stay too long at the fair? I want to hear all about TFNM last night!

I am doing laundry, and when it's finished, I will head down to Toylnd to finish tapng the orchestra parts. I've got some work on EILEEN to do before I go, as well as vacuuming the apartment. Last night I had more dreams about working at The Drama Book Shop.

More coffee!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Safe, happy, healthy weekend vibes for all! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm back from the barber and the green market. I got some apples. I stopped at Pret a Manger for a cuppa and yogurt with julienne green apple slices, cinnamon and a splash of granola for breakfast. Yum!

It's grey here in Manhattan. It looks like it may rain. Who knows what the weather will be like next Friday when Mr. Kimmel is in town.

I have a busy schedule next weekend. Mr. K is Friday, we are going to New Jersey for a wedding on Saturday and then we have to be up and out early on Sunday morning for a day trip to Long Island. Anthony has to take care of an elderly friend. Her aide needs the day off so Anthony has been drafted to play with Elinor (she just turned 89 in May).

Plus, the usual work.

Morning all!  I came home last night and just missed being caught in real downpour.  We had one really good flash of lightning with a equally impressive BOOM of thunder and the lights went off.  That was it for the dogs--both were trying to get into my lap.  Needless to say I only have so much lap and there was no room at the inn so I moved to the couch!

After I sat with them for a bit I guess the week caught up with me because I fell asleep and didn't wake until almost 10:30.  I had a episode or two of not being able to breath, knowing that I needed my mask but couldn't wake up enough to stop it from happening.  Lord, I hate it when that happens.  It's so scary.  I know I've been warned not to sleep with out the mask but sometimes it just happens.  I had such a head ache when I was finely able to wake up enough to get up and go to bed.

I don't think i truly rest when that happens because I managed to sleep (in bed with the mask on) until nine this morning.

So much for my exciting Friday night!

So glad to read TFNM went so well.  Wish I could have been there!

I don't think anyone has joined him in there, so far as you can't see any plaques.  I believe his "drawer" as I call them is to the right of the door.

I'm in Rome today and too tired now to post any more photos. I leave tomorrow. So, I'll be off for a few days.

I think Rome is wonderful, but it's also too hectic  and noisy after a relaxing week away from  people. The throngs are just enormous, everywhere you turn. We went to the Trevi Fountain and you had to fight to get near the water. We saw the Spanish steps but didn't go near them for the same reason. There just wasn't enough time to get anywhere near the Coliseum or the Vatican or any place like that. Another trip.

I'm in Rome today and too tired now to post any more photos. I leave tomorrow. So, I'll be off for a few days.

I think Rome is wonderful, but it's also too hectic  and noisy after a relaxing week away from  people. The throngs are just enormous, everywhere you turn. We went to the Trevi Fountain and you had to fight to get near the water. We saw the Spanish steps but didn't go near them for the same reason. There just wasn't enough time to get anywhere near the Coliseum or the Vatican or any place like that. Another trip.

You never try to visit the Vatican during the summer months (including June).  It was crowded when I was there in November, but you were still able to breathe and you could actually stand next to some of these people without the fumes killing you..

T.O.D.

For some strange reason, during the last 15 to 20 years, I have found it harder and harder to watch movies more than once.

The ones I used to love over and over:

HEAVEN CAN WAIT
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS (Original cut)
DAMN YANKEES
DARK AT THE  TOP OF THE STAIRS
SINGIN' IN THE RAIN
TIME AFTER TIME

Interesting that there were two mentions of William Castle and STRAIGHTJACKET here this week. I watched it for the first time this week and thought it was beautifully done. No one does creepy like Joan Crawford. I think she has her own flavor of creepy.

How strange.  I am watching the Belmont Stakes.  For the parade to the post (or something like that) they played Frank Sinatra's version of NEW YORK, NEW YORK.  What is strange is that had edited  down the recording, and it was not edited very well.

Back in the safe hands of Swedish filmmakers, circa 1993 - the Martin Beck series of films - on my second one and they're quite good.  Directed by the man who would go on to direct the final two installments of the Dragon Tattoo series, books two and three.

For levity (jaw-dropping levity) take a look at the Osmond Brothers performing a medley from "Fiddler on the Roof."

OK, so the Osmonds clip could actually be worse than Cher singing all the parts of "Tonight" from "West Side Story." And that's saying something.

But how does it compare to Debbie Reynolds singing "If I Had a Hammer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MATRxNEsRsY)"??

I saw that in 2006 as a "staged reading" in Issaquah, Washington in the same festival that Fred and Skip's The Last Starfighter was playing.  They were part of The Village Theatre's "Festival of New Musicals (http://www.villagetheatre.org/villageoriginals_festival.shtml)."  Both were very good.

Listening to the original soundtrack to Charade, finally available after all these years.  While one can carp with the way it's assembled it's great to have this and Hatari.  The latter is much more egregious in its assembly, at least for me - and it would have been so easy for it to have been a better listening experience.  Exact film order is not always the way to go when you have endless source music tracks in a row.
