Good morning, DR Ben! How are you feeling?

Monday morning greetings! I'm the first one up on this cold, rainy President's Day. My cousin and I have some running around to do on his Mom's behalf and we must, must, must go to Skyline Chili for lunch.

DR JRand - so, you're getting a graduate degree in geriatrics, too?

I'm feeling very good Larry. Thanks for asking. It's been almost a week since the surgery and every day is better. The bandages are gone and I can see the small incisions. It's amazing how they can get the organ out of your body through that little hole in my navel (or one of the other two holes I now have in my stomach area). I'll go back to work tomorrow and see the doctor on Friday and we will take it from there.

I'm celebrating Pepsodent Day by working...

But at least I don't have it as bad as my sister who works as an assistant broker for Wells Fargo. Her office is closed because the stock market is not open today. But because Wells Fargo banks are open, the broker office employees are required to take a vacation day today as their time off. My sister and a couple of co-workers are looking into the legality of this incredibly stupid rule.

Glad you're feeling better, Ben. One last question on "Lost Horizon": Was it done with stills for scenes that the footage was lost but the sound recording was there? I seem to recall some version like that on video years ago, maybe the last time I saw the movie.

Have to get ready for a funeral this morning. A friend from church died unexpectedly about a week ago. Write more later.

Yes, John. It was the 1999 restored version and the entire 132 minute soundtrack exists but about 7 minutes of the film is still missing so they did the reconstruction with stills from the missing film scenes.

As much as I loved the movie we did notice an oddity. Maria (played by Eddie Albert's wife, Margo) came to Shangri-La in 1888 when she was 20. Chan states that clearly in the scene where she comes in looking for George. The film was set in 1935. If she was born in 1868 she would have been 67 when she left. They made it sound like she was almost as old as Sam Jaffe as the High Llama and the aging make up made her look ancient. Even in 1935 67 was not OLD like 80 or 100. 1888 (or 1868) sounds like a long time ago (and nowadays it is) but in 1935 it wasn't. Just a strange moment for me in an otherwise great film.

the Russians are Coming made my brothers and I laugh and laugh

for years afterwards one or another of us would suddenly start shouting "Emergency! Everyone to get from street!"
