I will single-handedly take us to page two.

I wonder if DotM is finding anything of interest.

I guess DotM didn't find anything interesting. Perhaps I'll be controversial again.

I know I'm a day late for "Ask bk" day, but I was just wondering if Mrs. Goldsmith ever acknowledged your letter about the botched tribute?

Hi, DR DakotaCelt.

I suppose the Harry Potter movies count, too.

We watched the American Masters program on Carol Burnett last night. She is such a delight. WHY oh why can't they release a box set of her complete television series? Or the two incarnations [one in b&w, one in color] of her Once Upon a Mattress? Or her several appearances jointly with Julie Andrews? The clips are so tantalizing... $:-\$

I can't find any online photos of the young Lyle Waggoner.

Good morning, all. As the Monday trip nears, I'm getting more fraught about how the hell I'm paying the $30,000 taxes next week: the sale of the property isn't moving, we can't sell my dad's motor home, the Macbeths are showing signs of renegging on their promise to repay my dad's loan. Randy and JoAnn are also concerned about all of this, and I keep dumping requests for help on them since the Macbeths have done crap to help with any of this. Randy and Jo, with their we-have-to-knuckle-down-and-get-it-done attitude have my undying affection but I can't keep puttng my neuroses and pressure on them. I'm also looking forward to seeing the Macbeths about as much as I look forward to a root canal. There's a gnawing belief that they're being difficult because they're so looking forward to see me fall on my sword to prove I should have turned the executorship over to them, I mean him. God, I hate that Macbeth bitch my sister-in-law!

A long day today: Toyland first, then the NYPL. I may stop at a local bank and pull a robbery as well if there's time.

Larry, I'm sorry to hear about your continuing tsuris. Perhaps a tree will fall on the house of the Scottish couple (since I don't use that word associated with them, it's all I could think of to call them

)

DR elmore3003 - surely there are provisions for filing for an extension in situations like this?

I saw The Glorious Ones last night.

It was wonderful. It's a love letter to comedy and musicals. It opened to mixed reviews but I had a great time. It's based on a 1974 novel by Francine Prose.

The Glorious Ones

Mark Kudish is excellent and the woman who played the "Gary Coleman" role in Avenue Q i(Natalie Venetia Belcon) s his co-star.

The show is sweet and funny and presents a part of theatre history most people know nothing about. I had a lovely time.

Tonight I undertake the Tom Stoppard Marathon. 3 hours of Rock and Roll, his newest play which is about the Czechoslovakia revolution in 1968 (called the "Velvet Revolution). I've heard that it's wordy and long and you must pay attention or you will get lost. I'm sitting in the last row of the balcony but it's a TDF ticket so I don't care.

More on that tomorrow.

Thanks for the report, DR Ben. I'm looking forward to the cast album.

What other wishes can you grant?

My theory is, sign the forms and send them in without the check. They'll let ypou know you forgot to mail it, and perhaps the bit of time will loosen up some cash. I also suppose it's possible for the three of us to take a loan on the property as well. The truth is, I want to pay the estate taxes off and never have to deal or see the Macbeths again.

Part of my anxiety now is the fact that my dad's attorney is a good man but he should have had all the tax information to us when I requested it a month ago. I know that part of the delay is how the Macbeth's loan fits nto the situation, I waffled about some sibling responsibilty,and I have bent over backwards twice now to accommodate them. I can bend no more. What I should do is just sue the Macbeths for the full amount of the loan and pay the taxes with that, but I fear we'll be in court for much longer than I want this estate to drag on.

And now i'm outa here.

Mr. Novak
Room 222

Up the Down Staircase is probably my favorite school movie because of many of the things that MR K wrote about in the notes. Loved the book, and Sandy Dennis was so wonderful in the part.
