Home at last! It's really unpleasant outside. I had a difficult time find a taxi to take me back to 4th Avenue after the photovopying and then I had to schlep all of my photocopies from 11th Street to 82nd Street.  I do have time to crash before tonight's show and that's fantastic!

I have watched STING OF DEATH - which is now on its way to DR MBARNUM......I have no words to describe this film.....the killer jelly fish OR the poolside dance party to the music of Mr Neil Sedaka singing....."Do the Jella Jella Jellyfish."

I was entertained.

Good Afternoon!

I'm back from my walk which included a stop at Whole Foods for a bite to eat as well as some errands along the way.

It's pretty nice here too right now. I guess all the inclement weather that was here on Sunday, moved east. ::)

DR Elmore - I hope you enjoy LYSSIE JONES. I'm so happy for Jack, the Artistic Director of Transport Group, for their first Broadway transfer. I'm hoping to catch it the week I get back from LA.

Well, just as I was about to walk out the back door to go to Kroger, the FedEx guy rang the bell at the front door and delivered our iPhones!  So, we delayed my departure until Richard could go and we headed for the Verizon store, which is what the nice young man who waited on us Friday told us to do.  We were the only customers in the store and it seemed that they couldn't get us out of there fast enough.  They did get our new phones set up and they transferred our contacts from our old phones, so we're in business I guess.

You must have been asleep.

To answer yesterday's questions from Michael S regarding "J. Edgar Hoover":

As I recall, BK recorded this in 2008.

HAIL ON THE CHIEF began as a straight play, then was adapted into a musical comedy in about 2006 or 2007.  It had 2 series of staged readings at the Stella Adler Theater in Hollywood, one in 2007 and the other in 2008.  BK starred in one and directed the other.

After I moved to and got settled in Austin in 2009, I began working on the book again, figuring I would do a full production here.

Unfortunately, because certain sordid events in the private life of the political figure that we spoof in the play have recently become public, I've had to rethink a major portion of the play and, because of that, the project is currently on a back burner.

Too bad, because I really like some of the songs in this show.

The relationship between J. Edgar and Tolson is a central feature of J. EDGAR!  You should try to check it out, it's very, very funny.

I definitely intend to see it when it is released onto DVD.  I like Eastwood's movies, but we never go to theaters any more.

I'm talking about the Harry Shearer musical, not the Eastwood film.

Sorry, I am not familiar with the musical...but I will check it out.

For some reason, the cover is not showing up!

I see why now: it's a pdf file, not a jpg.

It is....a movie! Actually, I love it! I even interviewed the male lead of the film. Nice guy. He did a lot of movies and stuff in Florida. I gave my copy to him, so it will be nice to have another copy again!

TOD - I'm wondering if DR John G is thinking of Cincinnati's Diner on Sycamore, which recently re-opened as

Joe's Diner on Sycamore

It's near the old School for the Creative and Performing Arts (recently moved closer to Music Hall).  Richard and I last ate there before Rob was born, so maybe it's time to check it out again!

That looks to the be the place. Though I had to find the Facebook page to get a photograph of its neon-stainless steel beauty:



Nice looking dinner!

Watched a DVDr of the 1950s B film NO MAN'S WOMAN....wow, what a great movie...unfortunately, the dvd stops half way through...but, boy....Marie Windsor pisses off a bunch of people, including John Archer, Patrick Knowles, Nancy Gates, Jil Jarmyn, and Richard Crane...and one of them bumps her off, but good!

I will have to order a replacement so that I can find out 'who dun it!'

I woke at 4.00am today and couldn't get back to sleep. Not good! I can cope with waking at 5.00am which I often do but 4.00am is much too early.

The rain eased up as we were leaving the market which I consider excellent timing. 

It was somewhat somber at the market today (MBarnum, Shop & Kart) as Saturday one of their employees was murdered shortly after leaving work.  I was hoping I wouldn't recognize the 22 year old but I did.  He was on the walking/bike path.  This is a small town & I'm sure he felt safe.

I was reading a bit about the murder.  I fear they will never know who did this.  I also don't think this would have happened if it didn't get dark so early.  When I think of all the stretches along the path that isn't one stretch I would have been concerned about. The police said they will increase their patrol of the walking path which made me "laugh" since  I have never seen a police person on any portion of the walking/bike path.
