I am going out to dinner this evening with Mr Kurt and will see if he ordered his EVENING PRIMROSE cd yet. Not sure where we will be eating.

And then I started but only watched about 10 minutes of the next documentary, this one on Ben Hecht. They're concentrating on his Chicago newspaper career by showing clips from HIS GIRL FRIDAY. I guess they're using that one since it was in the public domain. Leonard Maltin is one of the talking heads in the documentary.

There is one further documentary on this disc before I can start the next Indy "movie." Time-wise, I'm not sure if I'll get to it tonight. We'll see.

DR LAURA did you take the picture of those mysterious lights?

She lives in Arizona - alien lights are not mysterious, they are endemic.

There is a mockingbird outside that is singing and singing. Every now and again he mocks a car alarm.

Well, I now have a 45-minute "break", and only about 10 minutes left of battery life, so...

At least we have nice, large windows and lots of sun this afternoon.

I forgot to mention that Showtime has renewed THE TUDORS for a third season, so looks like we will see Jane Seymour and maybe Anne of Cleves, too, in season three.

I did have time to watch a few things. I began with the last 20 minutes of THE TUDORS. Good overall episode.

DR Elmore, was "Madge" part of history or invented for the show? I always thought Jane Seymour was a lady-in-waiting and Henry went directly from Anne to Jane before Anne's trial.

I think Madge is fictional, or at last secondary. Henry didn't need to get rid of Anne until his compulsion to produce a male heir, after Anne's failures, made hm look for another wife. I think he would have divorced her but the trumped up adultery charge made her guilty of treason and set up the execution of her, her "lover" Mark Smeaton, her father and her brother. Jane Seymour was already in the pucture but I can't recall if she showed up before or after the adultery charges. And, Miss Seymour did produce a living son, Edward, who died at sixteen.

I've been wondering what became of Thomas Tallis and we've never seen Holbein, who lost favor with Henry by making anne of Cleves much less repellant thanshe actually was. I think that's his only non-consummated marriage.

I'm happy to know Season 3 is on the way!

DR Matt H, according to the wikipedia article on Jane Seymour, Henry met her in 1535 on a stay at her parents' home. Anne was executed in 1536 and Henry and she were engaged the next day. I just checked.

Thomas Wyatt was imprisoned after a disagreement with Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, and witnessed Anne's execution. He wrote a poem about it. The Boleyn downfall was accomplished by Cromwell.

$12,000, Cash-Only Meal - Suffolk Kitchen

It’s called Knish and if you want one, you have to place your order 48 hours in advance. You also have to pay $12,000 - IN CASH! So what is a Knish? It is “Osetra, Sevruga and Beluga caviars, white alba truffles, 24k edible gold leaf, lobster, Kobe tartar, a Kobe burger, a Kobe hot dog, an ostrich egg, two kinds of foie gras - duck and goose, and a moose snout and drizzled with 100 yr old balsamic vinegar and doused with with Louis XIII Cognac and flambéed.” Kind of like the day before you decide you have to go to the grocery - when you wrangle up everything you can find in your fridge and pantry and then, concoct something that is edible but, just barely.

Waiter, I'll have the Knish, but please hold the moose snout.

moose snout - so glad for that "u"

What a day this has been and I haven't even left yet. Unbelievable. I'm on my own now with addressing and shipping and doing the postage, plus I had to type up my notes for last night's run-through - that took an hour, plus the electrician was supposed to be here at eleven and now isn't coming until five, the gas station was a joke (just wait until tomorrow's notes), I didn't have time to do ANY of my errands, but I did get another fifty packages shipped. I have about twenty more and at least I'll be caught up.

Busy, bustling day here on the northeasterly side of Pittsburgh:

At 8:15am, I had mum into the van and on the way to a dermatologist appointment in the Hills of North - about a half-hour drive (combine that with the ten minute ritual, each time, of getting mum and her Jazzi into the van) - where the good doctor took a biopsy from the tip of her nose, which fortunately turned out to be benign.

Around noon, cousins arrived for a visit and a quick lunch.

At five-thirty, I drove Miss Dixie for her spring haircut. Had to wait with her on-leash until a table opened up, which did not sit well with her.

Stopped at Sheetz for a juice and ran into several former co-workers.

Stopped and voted and ran into several former co-workers, their parents and assorted church members.

I'll be picking Miss Dixie up in about an hour and a half. She'll be beautiful, but, she'll be beat.
