The book is coming together. i would say we were past the 90 percent mark.
Tuesday morning greetings! It's pouring rain here in SW Ohio and, of course, I have to go grocery shopping today. Have to get everything but the turkey that we need for Thanksgiving, which sounds like more than it really is. All we're cooking is the turkey (a fresh one, which we'll get at the butcher's tomorrow), stuffing, and pumpkin pies (which I'll bake tomorrow evening). My sister-in-law is bringing scalloped corn and rolls, our friend Betty is bringing sweet potatoes and roasted vegetables, and Mary Linda is making a chocolate/pecan pie.
DR TCB and DR MBARNUM - I mailed you packages this morning.....it is now in the hands of the USPS.

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.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvaUtIpJuF4The 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.

DR TCB thanks for the laugh. I enjoyed the DITTO Christmas decorations.
JMK has a mention on the Home Theater Forum regarding his Blu-Ray review of Mutiny on the Bounty.
