Angel Face (1952)
The Cardinal (1963)
Bunny Lake is Missing (1965)

I saw Exodus when it was first released and found it quite tedious but when I saw it again on DVD a few years ago I found it really engrossing. I also saw Porgy and Bess on first release and remember very little about it but it would be interesting to actually have the opportunity to see it again.

Isn't that strange, that Otto Preminger made both PORGY & BESS and CARMEN JONES?

Newt the Toad has won South Carolina.

Last night I bought the new bio of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. It's on my Sony Reader. I also bought the bio of her husband, Prince Philip. It's only my computer and I have to transfer it to my reader. For some reason it didn't transfer to the Reader when I downloaded it, it just appears on the computer. The problem is the wonky Sony software. Whenever I plug in the reader to the computer the sync software starts and then just hangs. I can't do anything (like stop the sync software from starting) so I can't transfer the book. I don't want to read it on the desktop because it's 600 some pages and I don't want to sit in front of the computer to read. I may have to if I don't get this to work correctly.

Perhaps you should read it on the throne.

Bruce I just received another facebook invite from a Hami friend of yours, Linda Sternhill Davis.

Jane did you see last night's 20/20 about cruises?

And I am home from my dinner with DRs Jose, voxmom, FJL, and Jason. DRs Jason and Jose are off to FOLLIES, FJL off to HOW TO SUCCEED, and vixmom to home. I will take off my wet cold shoes, settle down and watch COPS/ After that, perhaps a movie.

Being snowbound all week, today seems like Sunday.

MEGA, MEGA VIBES to TCB, who has had to endure far more than any human should. (Not that it's OK for animals.)

Thank you, Jeanne.  I think you have weathered your share.

[Ginny]

DR Ginny I'm glad you are staying home tomorrow.  Vibes DS Rob is having a safe day.

Thanks, DR Jane.  Paramedic Rob just called to assure us that he survived his workday.  He said the roads in Cincinnati are OK, but parking lots, driveways, and sidewalks are in pretty bad shape.  Confirmed my suspicion that if we could just get down our driveway we'd be fine.  But we can't, so here we are...

The national news media is shking their heads over the strange weather happening around the country, including tonrados in the South.  Maybe it has something to do with Newt winning a primary?

[Jane]

Jane did you see last night's 20/20 about cruises?

No.  Did I miss something good?

Do you have a garage are to you park on the street?

[Jane]

I received an email from the neighbor above us saying there is flooding up there.  I think it is all outside of the house.  They suspect it is coming from the highway or railroad above them.  If so then we have to figure out if that is causing our problems.  I seriously doubt it but it mean the neighbors who don't use our road on a regular basic will be hesitant to pay to fix it until we know for sure.  In the meantime I can't drive my car & might have to miss my Wednesday hiking group until the road is fixed.  That might not be until spring.

We have a garage, supposedly 2-car but we've only gotten 2 cars in once in the 23 years we've lived here.  Usually I park in the garage and Richard on the street, but for a couple of reasons his car had been in the garage this week.  When bad weather's expected, we pull the outside car into the lower part of the driveway to get it out of the way of the snowplows and sliding cars.

I hope we'll get Broadway reports from our theatregoers.

Love Suze Orman, but wonder if she's qualified to give marital advice, like she often does.

[TCB]

Jane did you see last night's 20/20 about cruises?

No.  Did I miss something good?

The first part of it was just about the Concordia and its Captain (The Chicken of the Sea).  The second part was about the alcohol abuse, the fighting between drunk passengerrs, and the lack of security officers onboard.  That seemed to be mostly a slam at Carnival Cruise Lines and their emphasis on drinking and drinking games.  They also covered the wild partying below the passenger levels where the crew spends their off hours.  Plus they talkedabout the number of passengers who have fallen or were pushed overboard..

All in all, a little too much to try and cover in basically a half hour.

Why don't you hike down to your hiking group?

So you can't just get into your car & drive without sliding on the driveway.  Of course if you could then you wouldn't have an excuse to stay home.

I'm glad I have never noticed annoyingly drunk passengers or cruise staff.

They did interview one of only three persons who have fallen off a cruise ship and survived.  He was very very drunk, he said, and the last he remembered he was in one of the bars looking for his cabinmate.   Next thing he remebered he was floating in the Gulf of Mexico, it was pitch dark, and he was about 50 miles out to sea wearing a pair of boxers and a sweatshirt.

HA!

I would if it wouldn't take so long.  I can easily walk down our road, however, no one lives near me to pick me up & 7 miles to meet the group is a bit too far to walk on roads.

[Jane]

DR TCB how did the guy survive?

From my years working as a travel agent, Carnival's ships are always known for their 24 hour a day party atmosphere.  I have never traveled on Carnival (although I toured all their ships) and I doubt you have either.

[Jane]

LOL, you guessed correctly.  I think you did.  I don't remember who owned the original ship for the Disney cruise.

[TCB]

20/20 used a lot of video footage from Youtube, such as this one.

Hmm, I want to say Discovery, but I don't think that is right.
