For a day that was supposed to be light, it has been anything but.  I did get nine hours of sleep, so that was good.  I did the four-mile jog, and that was good.  Then I went to the lab and picked up all the stuff, although I later found that they hadn't returned the DVD.  I didn't want any of it sitting in my hot car trunk for too long, so despite the fact that I was starving, I brought the hi-def master home, then went directly to storage, where I lugged all the negative cans up - they are HEAVY!  Then I came back home and dropped off the print from which we took the sound and put that where it belongs in the garage.  I went to the mail place and attempted to fax something only the company's fax machine wasn't picking up.  Then I finally ate a bacon cheeseburger at Jerry's but no fries or onion rings.  I figured the cheeseburger was my treat for all that heavy lifting and running and it was great.  Calorie-wise it's ultimately fine when you deduct the calories that I burned.

So, if anyone can get that Casanova movie and just upload it to You Tube in parts (the film is in the public domain) that would be great.  It was very helpful to see the first eight minutes - obviously we're issuing the great score, and I was able to find the first four cues and put them in their proper place - the recording sequence is wildly out of film order.

In my continuing fascination with the non-existent Terry Baxter (of Columbia Record Club "fame"), here's something kind of odd:  "Terry" recorded The Look of Love twice (so far, that I've been able to find), and both times, "he" changed Hal David's lyric, though in different places both times.  Isn't that peculiar?

I am sure that Kristin Chenoweth would have done the same.

We actually had rain here yesterday. For the first time in what seemed like months. And the plants are all perking up. The eggplant is covered in purple blossoms and one of the peppers is all in white. Hope both of them actually produce some fruit.

Fruit Vibes!!
There are actually two inch-long peppers on one plant today.

If Miss Karen isn't there by the time you arrive, just tell your waiter to put it all on Karen's tab.

Alex Steinweiss, who developed album art, died at age 94. Here is a link to some of his work, which is beautiful. I especially like the album cover for La Conga from Desi Arnaz and the old "Showboat":

Lots of excitement here.  First Yogi alerted Craig to a deer outside his bedroom.  Since we have elk fencing to keep the deer & bear out of the yard it was a surprise.  After the three of us finally got the deer out through the gate Keith let Sherlock out.

I've never seen Sherlock do so many rolls on the lawn.  We just had to wipe the stinky dog down with an enzyme cleaner.

Actually, I'm not going directly home.  A new Walmart opened up next to the local Costco, and they (Walmart) sent out $5 gift cards.  Sure, I'll take your $5 and have a little look-see.

It's been years since I've been in a Walmart, so I don't know what to expect...other than another giant store.

Be back later. :)

I've tried to hash it out to no avail.  But she has kindly agreed to post the rest of the film, so that's a good thing.
