And, TCB, you had a run of great posts tonight. Salmon obviously was not your dinner. What was?

Tonight, I had the next to the last serving of tuna pasta salad that I have been eating since Sunday.  That is the problem of cooking for one.
A challenge perhaps. A joy. But not a problem for me.

Go to your library and look for a book called "The Pleasures of Cooking for One" by Judith Jones. It's a great new way of looking at things.

I will check that book out.  LOL!

Don't you watch tv, John G?
Your Nothing-to-Say photos say volumes, Laura.

No, I don't watch TV. I used to be a TV editor when I lived in Florida (TV and religion), but I got out of the habit when I moved to Texas and to the Central time zone. And I've never wanted to regain it. I'll watch shows and movies on DVD, but that's it.  I don't like tying myself to someone else's schedule, I guess.

But I don't look down on it. As someone who takes ballroom classes, I like "DWTS" whenever I can see it. I just don't go out of my way to be home the night(s) it's on TV. I've also enjoyed "Top Chef" and a couple of other shows, but I can't remember any more off the top of my head. The shows I watch on DVD are "Mad Men" and "Big Love."

Greetings from Fairfax, VA!


Hey, Jose!

I sometimes watch things on hulu.com.

I watched the pilot of The Dick Van Dyke Show. It was called Man of the House, or something like that. It was the unfunniest thing I've ever seen. I am surprised that they made a series out of it.

I have had a number of ideas in the past and I'm sure I'll have more in the future.  Someday when I'm not writing so much for work, I'll write a book

Speaking of books:

I'm in the process of publishing some of the 1-person plays that I wrote (and were staged) back in the 1980s-early 1990s.

Assuming that everything goes as planned, these will be inexpensive "acting editions," published via CreateSpace and available on Amazon and also in book stores through wholesalers.

Hopefully, the wider availability of the scripts will induce some theaters around the country to mount a production.

I'm still formatting it, but the first play will be my one-woman show about Carole Lombard.

More later....

I still want very much to get a copy of the one man show about Spencer Tracy.  I have friend currently living in Cape Cod who is not only a stunning actor, but also reminds me of Tracy.

I promise.

Assuming the LOMBARD project goes as well as I hope, TRACY will be coming.

The problem with TRACY is that it was written on a typewriter, rather than a computer, so I have to re-type the entire manuscript into MS Word.

On the other hand, if I can find somebody local to do it for me....

I had to re-read this..

I thought DR Druxy had written the one-woman play about Carole Lombard for himself!

Just saw a preview for "Oliver!" The announcer invites you to "Join your old friends ... Bill Sikes." Yikes! When was he ever "my old friend"? As I recall, even his dog didn't care when he died.

Change my name to Ruby Begonia!

What a hoot. Reminds me of her autobiography in which she claims to be partially black. When I read that all I could picture was the billboard advertising Carol Channing as Julie in "Showboat."

Back from some dinner.  Rehearsal was great, save for our guest star - I guess I wasn't quite strong enough about what kind of show we do, and she didn't do her homework and took fifteen minutes to get through a four-minute song because she couldn't remember any lyrics - she was very funny about it, but I think she also clearly saw five other cast members who'd managed to learn their three songs perfectly and perform them wonderfully, in addition to a twelve-year-old girl with a much wordier song.  So, I think the metaphor would be that it was like having water thrown in one's face and hopefully she'll do what she needs to do before the performance.  Since she uses a folder as a prop, I told her that if she really needed to she could put her lyrics in there.

Watching "Starting Over" for the first time since it came out. Much of this movie is sweeter than I remember and I miss Jill Clayburgh. She could be irritating at times, but she's also really human.
