DR JohnG, I loved that Dain Curse production. Isn't it from the 1970s? My memory is that the young actress was a soap opera person trying to break out of soaps. I went through two phases where I read all of Hammett's novels, in the mid-1960s and again in the 1980s when I worked at The Drama Book Shop.
I want to go back to sleep
About time for me to be getting out of here and catching a train.
Be glad not embarrassed about that DR AMY.
Did you know about this West Side Story at USC (which just closed!)? I’d heard about it when somebody said the orchestration was the original, and all L.A. pros. Scroll down for photos.

I forgot to mention, but the huge snowstorm that we were supposed to get on Friday never happened. We got less than 1 cm of snow. Now I just have my fingers crossed that we will not get anymore snow this season. I suspect we will still get traces of snow. But I hope it's always less than 1 cm and that it melts right away.
Be glad not embarrassed about that DR AMY.
BK, where will the South Pacific be?

Birding Monday is canceled today because my Birding Buddy has the flu. She waited three weeks for me and then got sick.
I emailed the director after studying the cast list....she has Alex Foster, a great kid and a fantastic singer (and son of the vocal director) playing Perkins in my cabinet.
I emailed her to let her know that Frances Perkins was the first woman cabinet member in history as Sec. of Labor under....well...ME.... Of course she also thought Jack Dempsey was a famous gangster.

You are right DR JANE....this one is better, but I liked that dress in the movie....
And sadly...Chuck McCann Dies: Comedian And Legendary Children’s TV Show Host Was 83. (https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/chuck-mccann-dies-comedian-and-legendary-children%E2%80%99s-tv-show-host-was-83/ar-AAvEFQk). :(
I did go to Love, Simon, a gay teen romcom which reminded me a great deal of Clueless. It's not as good as Clueless, which is such a smart adaptation of Jane Austen, but it's very funny and touching. Jennifer Garner and Josh Duhamel, as Simon's parents, have a couple of wonderful scenes with him, and the youg cast is quite good. The high school in the film is working on a production of Cabaret, so we get a bit of that as well.

Oh, my! BREAKING NEWS: FBI executes 'series of search warrants,' raids Trump lawyer Michael Cohen's office (https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/09/politics/michael-cohen-fbi/index.html). :o

There's also a bit of a mystery: who is Blue?
Schadenfreude. ::)

A song from Avenue Q, right?
I know all about the creamless cream corn DR RLP....it is indeed delicious.
Congrats on your Bible prowess - probably much more necessary on the East Coast and the Hinterlands than the West Coast.
I have just read through 12 resumes for writers. One would think prospective writers would want a resume without errors. Sorry. Apparently this is not important anymore.
Tomorrow morning, Annabelle goes in for a dental procedure. Her broken fang will be extracted. Can I ask you for some vibes for tomorrow?

DR Ron I enjoyed reading about your senior lunch event. Were you one, or the, youngest senior there?

I’ll take the fried chicken, Ron.

MAJOR SURGERY VIBES FOR ANNABELLE, AND VIBES THIS SOLVES HER HEALTH ISSUES!
Filed my federal and state tax returns a whole week early!

Congrats, Kevin! This year, I had actually filed (online) earlier than I have in the past...my refund is already all gone now. ::)
;D
Today's vet didn't even give the thyroid a thought; he thinks it is teeth that need to be extracted. We are going to get him stable first.

Our pastor and his wife were the youngest seniors. They are both in their early 50s. I was next, at age 69.
Sandra got an "Important Tax Document" in the mail today. Uh, she mailed her taxes in already. Kinda late for that, isn't it?
We got one about a month ago. Why is it taking so long?
Just watched a young man LOSE a round on Wheel of Fortune. The clue, which he completed, was "Flamenco Dance Lessons." They disallowed his reading by saying he said "Flamingo". The next contestant "solved" it and won a trip to Spain. It was reviewed and his pronunciation was disallowed.
He is from North Carolina. Flamingo and Flamenco are, for all intents and purposes, pronounced the same way.
The young man won the game, but it was bittersweet.

GETTING STABLE VIBES!

Spent midget of the day dealing with people who do not have a single clue how to do their own job yet are happy to explain to me how to do mine
Good evening, from track 29 at Grand Central. Waiting for the 9:39 to depart.

I thought i saw you in the office today. We must work with some of the same people.
Watching an odd Japanese movie called Funeral Parade of Roses. It was said to be influential on Kubrick and A Clockwork Orange, and I can see that.

Are they really seniors if they are under 55 years ;)
Pink.
That is all.

Thank you, all, for the vibes!
DR Ron Pulliam, your advice is pretty much what Annabelle's vet emailed me on Friday. Thanks for reminding me. I've purchased Friskies patés for her and Thatch while she heals.
Vibes to John G's dad, mom, and John G himself.

I think there should be a time deadline that these important documents must be mailed out by, at least, the 1st of April.

There is. I think it's the end of February. In my experience tax documents are often late. I am surprised when I have all of mine by April 1.

But we all receive invitations from AARP when we're in our thirties.
Two more Amazon reviews came in - check 'em out, including a lovely one from dear reader FJL's ever-lovin' Skip and one from thirteen-year-old Hadley Miller (written on her dad's account but she wrote every word of the review) - it's fun to have some young readers' opinions there, because it definitely is a story that can be enjoyed by pretty much any age over nine or ten.
