I think Ebersole would make a good choice of Desiree. Very different from Catherine ZJ/Bernadette. I loved her in "Gray Gardens" and her days on Saturday Night Live. I also hear she was an amazing Lily Garland in "On the Twentieth Century." DR Elmore and I saw her as Ado Annie on Broadway - 32 (yikes!) years ago.You were allowed to date in the 8th grade?LOL - you're too kind, DR TCB!

DR DOUG R - according to the Chinese - dreaming of rats is a harbinger of good luck.
Richard wasn't with me on that trip to NYC in 1980. I was there for the American Library Association convention and played hooky a couple of times to play with DR Elmore, who had recently moved there. This was in June/July and Richard and I became engaged September.

Back from a sandwich and onion rings, and picking up a couple of packages - a new Swedish crime show starring Rolf Lassgard (Wallander, Beck), so that will be fun, and a lovely gift elmore bought me - the new book about Henry Mancini by John Caps.
Well, Wednesday afternon before July 4 is as horrifying as the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, with everyone trying to get out of town. I got to the bus stop as the No 7 bus pulled out and had to wait 30 minutes for the next one. Traffic crept up Sixth Avenue and i had to contend with a ginormous black woman and her four children, the youngest of whom was around 3 and needs two things: some discipline and to be kept in a coma 24/7. It was aslow ride from hell.

We saw Susan Bigelow as Ado Annie and Joel Higgins as Curly.I worked with La Ebersole on a Chicago Humanities Festival concert several years ago. If it's not about her, she isn't fun to be around. It was about Harold Arlen and she sang a terrific "Man That Got Away," but she was like Godzilla looking for Tokyo, a real bundle of charm.
It's a long time since I had a burger so I had one this evening with bacon, cheese, egg and fries. Which was as good as it sounds.
Waiting to do a telephonic interview about the book with the woman who writes for Marilyn Beck's syndicated column.
Just read that Andy Griffith has died.
