I had the opposite experience from the one MR BK had. I decided to watch a L O N G movie that I had never seen.....
Nicholas & Alexandra.
It looked nice - but the writing and the acting were awful. I remember all of the praise Janet Suzman kept getting at the time for her performance - but.....no.....she acts is though she is on The Guiding Light.....or As The World Turns.....
I kind of liked Tom DR WHO Baker who played Rasputin.....but his part was also written badly.
I did read one review that sort of sums it up for me: "This film has more history than it knows what to do with."
So guess what I did last night.
I THREW UP!!! Following right on the heels of DR George's story.
I'd been asleep for an hour or more, and woke with a very slight but annoying belly ache. I soon recognized it as a warning that I should visit the necessary. Sure enough, I did there what we usually do there, but with a bit more than usual urgency, and returned to bed. But all was not right. I still felt the little ache and now I was in a clammy sweat. I laid (lay?) there for a moment doing what we often do, which is try to deny what needed to be done next. But I knew better, and I returned to the scene of the crime. It didn't take much urging, and woopsy -- there it was. I just sat there on the floor for a bit to make damned sure I was done. I knew from long ago experiences that a bad case of this results in repeated visits, like what happened with George. But I felt a certain peace with it and went back to bed, feeling hopeful. And I lucked out. That was all I needed to do, I was back to sleep in fairly short order, and when I got out of bed - gingerly - this morning, everything felt normal. Whew! The End.

I saw the movie when it first hit the theatres and I agree completely. I did like Richard Rodney Bennett's score, but I couldn't wait for those Romanovs to get shot.

Found out this morning that the man who hired me at USAA died on Friday. Am a little in shock.
I hope George and Chas are both feeling better.
I wonder who's next?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR KEVIN! 🎂🎁🎂
Happy Birthday, DR Kevin!
Vibes for your brother-in-law, Ginny. I hope he is out of surgery and doing well.
But maybe that's because I am at work.
Good news, DR George.
In the meantime, what are you doing? A tarp and some duct tape?
So, Amazon Fresh is same day delivery?
Lost another friend today. Bev had been ill with cancer for some time. She went peacefully, I’m told.
Travel vibes to DR Jane and Keith!

Thank you, DR Laura. His surgery was completed earlier this afternoon, apparently successfully.
I've never had egg nog. I've had an egg and I may have had a nog, but never together.
When I was talking to the insurance agent on Friday, she had called the dealer about getting me an appointment, and I got the impression from her that one wouldn't be available until the end of December ! I'm glad that I was wrong.

I have loved this song since this version of it came out in 1968 on a 45, subsequently released on an LP two years later. For me, this is a textbook example of how an arrangement/orchestration can completely make a good song great, and Mr. Prysock, a wonderful and these days completely unsung singer, gives it a most perfect vocal. You cannot imagine how powerful this was back when it came out, the precursor, really, to Mama, Look Sharp. I've been addicted to it since the day I heard it and ran out and bought the 45 and then the LP when it came out. It is nauseating that it has never made it to CD. The arrangement/orchestration is by the brilliant Claus Ogerman. You can thank me later :) https://youtu.be/E6-ZedP3PwE The song is, of course, from Mata Hari.
