Wow. That sounds like fun. 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!

Of course, I think that Richard might be in trouble for trasporting a minor across state lines.

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.

I'm about to brave the heat to do some errands. Thank goodness my car is air conditioned.

Bye for now!

DR DOUG R - according to the Chinese - dreaming of rats is a harbinger of good luck.

That's a relief.

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.

No, we did not see her, nor Laurence Guittard. She had already left the show ro play Guenevere in CAMELOT with Richard Burton. 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.

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.

I'm pondering dinner options: pastrami on rye or Chinese? or Mexican?

I bought a tree trimming device and it's quite heavy. I just spent an hour outside trimming the much-needed trimming of tree branches and leaves off the tree in front of my house. I believe I have pulled every muscle in my upper body and it's just taken me five entire minutes to type this post.

Well then, I'll just stay in the audience and not get any closer.

She was good in the revival of BLITHE SPIRIT but it was All About Her; I'm sure she was in Hog Heaven. i prefer to work with team players.

Want!

I haven't had a burger with egg in years. In fact, I've only ever had one in one place, and because I'm a good reader I know it's one that MR BK will recognize: Hamburger Hamlet -- a place I miss more than I can say, and I could speak more of it sometime when I'm not about to run out the door for a fireworks par-tay.

Had to check real fast, though -- according to the World Wide Web, it still exists in a few locations. I wonder if the food and ambience are ANYTHING like they used to be. (I shall assume not.)

The postman delivered my copy of the new lorenz Hart biography today. I guess I will spend the evening checking it out.

I decided on Chinese food for dinner. It's just arrived.

Speaking of postmen, DR ChasSmith, you copy of LURE OF THE SWAMP and REFORM SCHOOL GIRL are on their way to you now.

When watching REFORM SCHOOL GIRL, note that one of the girls at the reform school is played by my dear friend Diana Darrin.
