Friday morning greetings! Some travel vibes for Fr. Richard would be appreciated. He just left for NW Indiana, where he will participate tomorrow in the consecration of a bishop and then head for NW Ohio, where he will conduct Sunday services. My Middfest commitments kept me from accompanying him on this adventure.

Oh, he left page 2 behind for us!

I had to smile when a fellow researcher sent me some genealogy data. One of her ancestors on her maternal grandmother's line is named Guy Haines....

TOD:

Nothing new to watch this weekend.

However, the other night we saw BERNIE with Jack Black and Shirley MacLaine.

It's an excellent black comedy, and a true story.

Check it out.

It was great in the theater, too. Fun to be in a sold-out crowd (twice) that roared with laughter throughout.

In south FArgo I am amused by two of the store fronts in a strip mall... One front is for Hornbachers, a grocery story and next to it is an animal hospital.

I realize it is not good to feed animals human food but it does cause one to pause to wonder what the eat to become ill.

I've been up since seven-fifteen thanks to the hammering. I got so annoyed finally that I went outside and found where it was happening - two doors north of me. They're doing roofing work. But apparently they only do this until the entire neighborhood is awake, then by eight-thirty there is no more hammering. Later today I shall speak to the contractor because I've HAD it.

Just got some sad news...

Friends of mine, Dave and Christine, found out that their beloved Adela has Hemangiosarcoma. It is cancer of the spleen in dogs. It is a fatal diagnosis. I have been honored to meet the beautiful Adela on several occasions. She is a 12-year old German Shepherd.

Here is an article about the type of cancer she has. Adela did have a tumor removed last week because she was unusually lethargic and did not want to play with her favorite ball. With Adela, if you have her ball in hand, she is ready to play even if it is just rolling it on the floor. Sweet dog....

They could use a few thoughts and prayers to get through this trying time.

It's finally cooled off in the City of Studio and is actually a little chilly.

Across the street from my apartment they begin jackhammering work on the sidewalk replacement at....6:00 am...all week long.

TOD: Nothing.

Isn't that sad? There actually hasn't been anything over the last couple of days. Very busy with this and that. (Mostly that.) Back to a semblance of normal tonight.

Thanks and a tip o' the hat to DR Dan (the Man) for the CD-R just received!!!

Thank you to several of the dear readers, and especially to BK, for the walks down memory lane both yesterday and today. I have never spent much time in either Hollywood or Beverly Hills (other than as a drve by tourist), so hearing these stories about the area are wonderful.

I am curious, BK, how things changed for you on your journeys once you began your career. Were you recognized when you went into some of these places or did the service improve at some of these eateries once you became "Bruce Kimmel" rather than that skinny Jewish kid?

It is Friday and I am working all day....ugh.

I got about 80% of my lines last night. The problem for me right now.....is......that.....the freshman girl playing my wife is so....well...BAD.....that her speeches and inflections really throw my line rhythm off.

I haven't been in a play with someone this bad and a LONG time.....I can't describe it......but now that I've heard how she's really doing it, at least I can go over my lines remembering how things are going to be said....

I did get a copy of the picture which I will scan soon.

Be grateful you aren't in a comedy together.

I wouldn't say the service improved, but in my TV heyday I was recognized often in eateries, both by staff and diners. I know that bothers some actors, but I always loved it.

I went back to sleep around nine-thirty - you could hear a pin drop. It's unbelievable, really. Slept two more hours, which I really needed to do.

DR Jane (or any other DRs), I know you use your nook mostly now, but what did you used to do if your book's print was too small to comfortably read?

It's book 2 and i really want to read it. This is the only series i've ever had a problem with. Sometimes they fonts are a bit smaller but i've never seen anything like this. And it's making me crazy.

I ended up getting the first 3 chapters as a sample at amazon.com so i could read that part comfortably.

I really don't understand why anyone printing a book would do this.

I think I was unclear since DR George misunderstood. This is an ACTUAL BOOK not an ebook. I just got the sample 3 chapters on my kindle so i can read the first part easier.

And they didn't change the print from the first book. It was small there too.

If I read on my bed with my reading lamp right on the book it is bearable. But the print is still too small for it to be comfortable. I may end up using a magnifying glass for part of it. Just putting the magnifying glass right on the book makes the print big enough. I wish i had a ruler shaped magnifying glass because it's not practical to hold a mg while trying to read the whole book.

It is just so frustrating. Why did they make the print so small? I have never heard had a problem with any book before this series. I never find anything too small to read. But this is ridiculous!

Perhaps a pair of Cheater Glasses would help you with the book.

I used to complain about books that had small print until it occurred to me that not all of the publishers had suddenly started reducing the size of the print, so there might be another reason.

Or is that getting too political?

Yes, and Mitzi turned out to be an empty chair.
