And that is our history lesson for today.

And it sounds like my alma mater.

I thought Miss Anne Francis was beautiful and always liked her performances......in the late 1980's, I saw her in Chicago playing M'Lynn in STEEL MAGNOLIAS.....and she was terrific.

In her last scene - well by they time she finished that last monolog and banged the top of the radio - there wasn't a DRY EYE in the house.....grown men were crying.....

You were very lucky to have seen her on stage.

Well, this has been a hellishly difficult day. A nightmare of epic proportions, but the fact that I remained reasonably (if not completely) calm during all of it at least made me feel better. This all has to do with the helper, and while I cannot go into her personal stuff, she's had something from several years ago rear its head and she has to deal with it and how it's going to turn out is anyone's guess at this point. She's been out of commission since Friday afternoon (it's not health-related). How long she'll remain out of commission is not known at this time. The fact that this happened when we're trying to ship 2000 CDs was not the best timing. Luckily, her boyfriend has been helping her with our stuff and she gave him some instructions and he was able to print out all the postage and labels over the weekend. He came by, picked up the CDs needed, and promised me they would all go out by the end of today. My fear is this was a very complex release - with two titles, people ordering singles, multiples, and also the special bargain deal - so there's all kinds of combinations getting shipped. I know she was being very careful about this one in terms of notation, but I have no idea how careful he'll be - although, I stressed many times how important it was. He's supposed to call me to let me know it's done. Then he'll meet me tomorrow with other shipping labels and we'll send out the last of the dealer orders. I personally lugged 13 heavy boxes to the UPS Store. And that has been my entire day thus far, and I'm still dealing with it. I just ate some lunch and I will now write some pages, then go back to dealing with it. Once I know we're past this crunch, I'm then okay until the end of the month - if I have to replace her, her boyfriend will come and show whoever the replacement is how it all works.

I am so sorry, BK. This helper seemed like the perfect match. At least the boyfriend seems to be willing to help take up the slack.

I have re-boxed the Christmas decorations and cleaned out a few cabinets. Now I have the rest of the house to do

First I need to email as many people as possible, those I have info for, to let them know why I didn't send cards this year.

Today I received my copy of THE THIN THIRTY about the 1962-63 University of Kentucky (Lexington0 football team.....suffering under first year coach Charlie Bradshaw.

He started out with 88 players in the spring of 1962, and only had 30 left by the time the season started.

It was also the 1959-63 teams that were involved in a sex for pay scheme with wrestling promoter Jim Barnett - who provided the team members for his friend Rock Hudson, who often traveled to Lexington to play..... Where he met Harvey Yeary - a football player that he invited to LA.

Rock was a silent partner in Lexington's gay bar JOHNNY ANGEL'S - now the Johnny Angel Disco in THE BAR complex in Lexington.

Not the same Harvey Yeary who became Lee Majors?

I think so too DR JANE - we were doing the show at the Phoenix, and it was still running off Broadway, so it hadn't been done a lot, and I wanted to see it.....

Marcia Rodd was in it, too - but I don't remember which part she played.....I guess I should check my StageBill.

Sorry to hear about your stress, BK. I think it shows dedication that she got her boyfriend to help as much as he has, and it hopefully means that once she straightens her affairs out that she will be back to work.

I just collected another $1.15 for doing NOTHING through EBATES at EBAY.

At this rate, I may be able to afford the NETFLIX that DR MBARNUM was talking about yesterday.

I am watching THE LAST SUNSET that stars Mr Rock Hudson hisseff and also features Mr Rad Fulton.

I have not taken down any of my outdoor decorations. If anyone gives me any shit, I am going to tell them that I am waiting for Twelfth Night.

I am not allowed to touch the Christmas decorations before Epiphany, but on Friday - watch out!

Bk, this mysterious place that you went to for your resarch today wouldn't happen to be at 8152 Sunset Boulevard?

You mean yesterday's field trip? 8152 is a McDonald's near the Chateau Marmont - but no, my research was really confined to Hollywood proper, as I had to keep the crime in the Hollywood police's jurisdiction.

I'm going to have dinner with the best friend of the helper, so I can get more of the backstory - that way I may get a better bead on how this is going to play out. I really don't want to have to train yet another person.

Cillaliz · « **Reply #137 on:** January 03, 2011, 05:14:35 PM »

DR DAKOTA, I'm serious about checking out job possibilities in Minnesota. They are much more socially conscious than most other states in the area. I don't think they would tolerate bullying. And it's just across the river for you.

bk · « **Reply #138 on:** January 03, 2011, 05:14:54 PM »

Getting an extremely late start, I've written three-and-a-half pages so far - it's all history right now, but very interesting history, of both the location, which is real, and the crime, which is not. That's the fun of it, mashing up the real and fictional.
