I particularly enjoy the discussions of NEW movies that are still in the theaters........most of which I will not see in that forum.

TOD:

Car CD player:

Sammy Kaye - White Christmas

The Caroleers - Santa is Coming to Town

The Swingalongs - Sing-a Song of Christmas

and some other vintage 50s Christmas stuff imported from old LPs via the internet


DVD:

Finished watching the 1974 Bollywood version of the 1955 film THE DESPERATE HOURS titled 36 GHANTE (36 HOURS). It was quite good and it followed that old movie quite closely.

Hope this weekend to get to the other two films from the 1960s Shochiku horror/sci fi set watched, GENOCIDE and GOKE, BODY SNATCHER FROM HELL.

Of course, if I get hooked on more season 6 Perry Mason, then I probably won't get anything else watched.


DVR:

Have no idea what I recorded this week, but likely episodes SURVIVOR, CHICAGO FIRE, THE OFFICE, and MODERN FAMILY. Maybe something from TCM. I know I set the DVR to record some movies from TCM, but don't recall when they were showing or even what they were.

Speaking of missing DRs, I heard from former DR Dan in Toronto the other day. A very happy surprise it was, I must say!

One of many former or absent DRs that I miss.

Friday morning greetings!  My book group friends weren't too hard on me over Catherine the Great.  They even agreed that they were glad to have read it and wouldn't have picked up on their own.  I think the general consensus was that Robert Massie is no David McCullough.  Emilie's husband made us a faboo apple struedel, which we had with cookies from Collette's bakery in Monroe and our choice of tea or wine (or both).

I would find the snow tire ruling unfair.  DR Jennifer you didn't say if they had to be studded tires or some other tire you only use in the winter.  There are all quality all weather tires we can purchase instead of studded tires.

Good morning. We got some much-needed rain during the night. It looks like it is clearing up now.

When you get rain, even if it is expected, I'm pleasantly surprised for you.
