Sad news today - our occasional (59 posts) dear reader Thom Moore has passed away at 68.  He was a great guy.
So sorry to hear about that. I was wondering the other day how he was doing.

Good Evening!

Well...

When I left the house earlier, I was feeling a little queasy, but I thought that was just because I needed to eat something.

Well...

I joined Steve for lunch, ate said lunch, and then I tagged along with him for a while he ran some errands. As we were leaving Sam's Club, I started to feel not-so-well.

Well...

Steve drove me back to his place, and after drinking some tea and taking some Advil, I took a nap on his couch while he edited music files.  And then I headed back to my parents' house.

I'm feeling a bit better, but I'm considering taking the morning bus instead of the overnight bus back to NYC.

Stay tuned...

Has anyone heard of this singer called Rumer?  Alex Rybeck told me about her - I just ordered a CD of hers.  She recorded a brand new Bacharach song (with lyrics by Steven Sater) that's quite nice, called Some Lovers.  She really sounds like she's channelling Karen Carpenter - she's quite good so check her out.  Sound clips on amazon and I think you can hear the Bacharach song in its entirety on You Tube.
Sounds good. Nice to hear someone's channeling Karen Carpenter. I always loved her alto.

Jose, that doesn't sound like the time to take a bus ride. I can almost smell the diesel fumes.

And, of course, I just saw a story on the news about a number of cases of "viral gastroenteritis" - a.k.a. stomach flu - in the Richmond area on the news... Gawd I hope not!

bk - I believe I heard Rumer on NPR the other day singing the Bacharach song. I liked the song and her voice a lot.

Why is everyone just sitting there like so much fish?

This afternoon, I watched one of those films from this year's National Registry: "McCabe and Mrs. Miller." I think that one gets better every time I watch it. It might have helped this time watching it with friends, both people who had and had not seen the film before. There was laughter through most and a few held breaths during the suspense scenes. This is probably my favorite western. And Julie Christie is luminous, even without all the ambient, amber lighting that seems to frame her like an angel.

So...

I'm trying to figure out how "responsible" - if that's the right word - The New York Times and other news outlets are being in reporting the departure of Natalie Mendoza from Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark?  The headlines read as "official", but then the first paragraph says that the news was reported by two people from the production "who spoke on condition of anonymity".

I read all the posts.  Sometimes I forget what I read because my day is filled with many things.  But here's what I never forget: How pathological your obsession with me seems to be.  I wonder what kind of personality it takes to come back to this site and register heaven-knows how many times to always end up at the same place - because this woman has some sort of "thing" about me and can't just let it go.  A normal person would just say "the guy's a jerk" and never bother coming back here.  Oh, were you sticking up for our posters here, because I did what I've been doing from the start on this board - making a JOKE about the notes and lack of lists or posts - I have done that as what I call a "runner" for years.  No one takes any of it seriously but you, Saint 3D Diffusion.  So, here for your edification and just to annoy you further during this HOLIDAY SEASON:

Get me off this damn page.

This will NOT do.

Page four???  Where in tarnation IS everyone?

Does anyone read the notes?

CRANBERRIES.

Post deleted.

But, most importantly:

3D Diffusion aka too many names to remember - banned.

I wouldn't have a problem with you thinking I'm a jerk and staying away and I'm sure you'd feel MUCH better rather than sitting wherever you're sitting and festering this negativity and hatred, which cannot be good for your karma or your soul.


Now that deserves a Touche!

Oh my gosh.  He just had the hip surgery! Isn't that the same guy?  Very sad.

I don't even remember a DR Thom Moore!

So, I went back and looked at his posts, and I did remember him: hip surgery replacement in September. Poor man, I wonder if he had a cancer or some bone disease that had required the various surgeries. He was only 68.



Did any one of us ever think we would say, "He was only 68."?

I can stay one more day, maybe two at the most.

But, I do have to say, that I'm feeling much, much better now. I believed the worst of it has passed. ::)
