Sorry i am having trouble putting up the picture. But do most people's bagels look like the NY ones? I don't know if i've ever eaten a bagel that doughy. Ours look exactly like the picture of the Montreal ones.

Thank you. This was interesting.  I would like to try a Montreal bagel.  Do they come in egg?

I don't know. Mostly there are just sesame seed and poppy seed bagels. Those are the main two kinds. But there are some bagel places that have all different kinds. I remember there is one kind called all dressed that was interesting. But I usually just have the two listed or the pumpernickel onion one. But that one is not made the same way as the black and white seed ones.

[Jane]

I will be surprised if you see egg bagels.

So, for the last year I've been thinking about doing an omnibus version of the Kritzer books - all three in one large volume.  What do you all think?  Doing so would enable me to fix some style issues in the first book (presuming I can even find the Word file - I think it's on a Zip drive or a floppy - have to go hunting - it also might be on my old Toshiba laptop - I plugged that in a couple of years ago and it was working - I'd have to locate it, though.  I just like the idea of having all three books in one volume for people at a reasonable price.

I think that it might be good for public libraries.

The mucous-y congestion after a cold can hang on for a really long time.  Sometimes I can throw it off pretty fast, but usually not.  For me, though, just feeling well is so rewarding that I almost don't care.

Yes, the cold I had in December started as a painful sore throat and the congestion hung around for about 4 weeks. Those symptoms have been fairly common this winter in the UK.

I am in my 7th week - just sayin'

That's because it was a UK cold

Actually, DR Jane, one of the seminary professors brought it to London from Wisconsin.

LOL, no excuse then for it lingering.

Sounds like a good idea!

Actually, Daily Variety has not been "right" since the late 80s or early 90s.

When I started in the business (mid-1960s), if it was in Daily Variety, you could "take it to the bank".  Tom Pryor, Dave Kaufman, Bill Edwards, Army Archerd and the rest of the staff were what good journalism was all about.

Not anymore.  When the paper was sold back then, editorial became too "advertiser friendly".

This news makes me very sad.

 

I think that was about when Sid Silverman sold the paper.

Crawfish, beignets, a vegan red cabbage rolls and gumbo -- shared with friends. Oh, a couple of good brews. Nice.

Will you sell it as an e-book too?  Either way, sounds like a very good idea.

Toby is becoming an ever so  slightly picky dog as he approaches 13, but then that's 91 for you and me.

It's like he wants to be petted when he wants to be petted and when he's had enough at this age, he edges away.   Dylan on the othe rhand is a year younger and will still put up with as much petting as a human is willing to do.

Fred, did you know that the individual titles are available as e-books?

[FJL]

I must say I'm somewhat astonished at City Center.  Every other non-profit that's an advertiser or user of of Talkin Broadway that i wrote to about my problem took the time to write back or call.  City Center is the only one that took the attitude "You;re a speck, we are big, bug off"  Even 92nd Street Y, which ultimately decided to stand united with Talkin Broadway at least asked for the information and considered the information but seems to have made the (I think unfortunate) decision that they needed the potential audience.

i was just saying if he sold the three-for-one as an e-book deal, he might sell a lot of them!

I am so proud.

Sometimes our older dogs didn't want the cats cuddling with them as much.

Hmmm, maybe it's a physical comfort thing as  a dog gets older

[Jane]

Does he have arthritis or any problems?  I also found the dogs startled more easily when sleeping.  Sadly it has been awhile since we had a dog reach old age.  Bless your sweet Toby.

I'm all for an omnibus version.  I have a suggestion though.  Many of us already have all 3 volumes.  It would be a nice incentive for us who already have the books if you added a short section on what I consider the "Lost Years," which cover your time at LACC.  It would be a nice bridge between the Kritzer books and your first autobiography.  Just a thought.

I am thinking of writing two short stories - and taking the short story in my collection and making it the Kritzer story it should have been - we'll see, though.  Part of me thinks that might be fun, and part of me thinks "leave it alone."

I like the idea of the added short stories...and as for "leav[ing] it alone," the original versions are still available.

JRand, that is amazing that the Comcast guy did not use the correct hook up!

The only time I have cursed someone out (over the phone) was a Comcast customer service rep, and more than once. It took them SIX trips to get my cable hooked up. Half of the people were subcontractors and each person blamed it on the previous worker for hooking it up wrong. Each time I told them they needed to bring a very tall ladder or a bucket truck. Several times they left because they couldn't reach the line. Maybe they could have used A LADDER??? The last time they came out and almost left, Greg went to Home Depot, bought the biggest ladder they had, and after they used it, he took it back. (We spend so much $$$ there we didn't feel bad about it.) I missed 3 days of work waiting for people who strung me along all day and then never showed up.

If I had any choice on providers I would have given up on them long ago.

That said, I now have my internet service with them and it is 10 times better than mindspring, who just have given up caring at all.

End of an era: As of March 19th, the new owner of Variety, who should be run out of town on a rail (it's the entitled rich kid who owns various movie websites like Deadline) will cease issuing Daily Variety - it's only been nine decades  of tradition down the drain in an instant. 

Glad they reviewed our new film already!
