Good morning!

Another day of the same forecast: partly cloudy (though it's beautiful outside right now) with temps in the 80s and rain forecast for late afternoon and evening.

Since I take a break from my morning workout every Friday, I spent part of the morning watching another CANNON episode. It was the best one I've watched in this set, an intricate blackmail scheme with a surprising cast of characters. William Daniels, Louise Troy, and Alex Rocco were among the guest stars.

TOD:  I received my DVD of a 60's stage production of EDWARD II, starring Ian McKellen.  Brilliant!  And it goes like a house a fire.  Amazing how the Brits can speak Marlowe's verse at a brisk clip with such remarkably stunning clarity.

I have one more CANNON episode and then I'll be finished with the set. I got an MGM DVD screener copy in the mail today for a movie called THE BETRAYED (I think that was the name). We don't review screeners, only final store product, but I may watch this this afternoon since I plan to take most of the day off after I finish CANNON.

Oh, well, we're back to the early morning truck grading - loud grading at that.  Mr. Building and Safety overseer is getting a call today.  Yesterday's work, while annoying, was tolerable.  Seven in the morning with the loud machine is not.  And I don't give a crap if they finish early today since I'll be in Santa Monica.  And invariably what happens is they do this loud stuff for an hour, then do nothing for an hour.  They need to reverse the process and do nothing for an hour then the work.  Then at least I've got till eight.  I am telling you, these people will RUE the day and I, for one, cannot wait.  I shall get a recording of loud truck noise and hammering and I will blast it from morn to nine at night, oh, yes, I will blast it from morn to night.

I am signing off and heading downstairs a bit earlier than usual since I need to clean up and run my Friday errands a little earlier since best friend John and I are going to lunch today.

Most city codes (and I would imagine Studio City is among them) permit construction noise from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m.  Believe me, I know from experience.

Bad timing, I guess.   I always figured the "page announcement" was the prerogative of the person making the first post, but it's not a rule or anythingl

Friday morning greetings!  Later today, Richard and I will go to Cincinnati for some errands, dinner, and the UC spring dance concert, in which Mary Linda is performing with motion sensors.  Before we leave, I have to make banana nut bread to use up the bananas that have ripened too fast - oh, well, at least I know what I'll take to the potluck breakfast AAUW board meeting tomorrow...

TOD - CD - in the car, we're listening to At Home in Miftord, the first in Jan Karon's series about the fictional North Carolina Episcopal parish priest.  Now, when Richard is presented with a challenge, I say, "What would Father Tim do?"

All right, Mr. Kimmel, you have my INTENSE, undivided attention with your tale of the pre-FSM Get-together get-together.

I'm curious, of course, as to the "blind" item about the film music maven and the object of his invective.

I'm thinking one was someone noted for wearing suspenders.   Could the other one have been someone who once posted a diatribe against him on a certain messageboard many years ago?

RLP, no it wasn't Mr. Suspenders.  It was one of the most respected film music label producers and labels who was behaving poorly - shockingly so - in fact, I've never seen anything like it EVER.  There were thankfully not many people there when it happened but most were looking at their shoes.  The bad behavior followed us into the bar area, where Miss Kirgo let forth with some rather cherce rebuttals.  Then I had my chat and that seemed to help, at least.
