My visits are usually just from bill collectors. 

Are they ever translucent?

No, but they often leaving me seeing double.

I remember that story DR DRUXY.

DR BEN the BFF was random when I got my car in January 2005.....

Did a three-mile jog today.  No filming anywhere.

It's official...white smoke.  A new pope has been elected:



They haven't yet announced who it is, though.

Good morning, all!

I slept well, but the most perculiar thng happened around 6am this morning: the apartment was permeated with the intense odor of percolating coffee. It woke me up with a real start and took me back to my childhood, when my brothers and I would wake between 5:30 and 6:00am to the smell of coffee coming from the kitchen as my mother prepard my dad's breakfast. I have no idea if this morning's event was a harbinger of a stroke, a ghostly visit, or total malarkey on my part, but it's something I've never experienced before.

Larry, I'd read that you smell toast if you're going to have a stroke, so I think you're okay in that respect.

I've been sorting out my DVD shelving. The DVDs just keep increasing along with Blu-rays (I don't buy as many CDs) and it's getting to be a real problem where to put them all. I think I need another major clear out to either sell some and/or pass them on to a charity shop.

Great, so I'd have the stroke because I would be wishing for a carb treat that was not on my diet.

You might also consider donating them to your local library (said the library employee).

Thanks, DR George! It's nice to know that this may not be a harbinger of something bad for me.

I'm still waiting for whatever might be the fallout from this occurrence today.

Indeed.  When is Marley's Ghost expected to show up?

But in the first episode there was too much Henry Silva and not enough Richard Harrison, although Richard finally got some lines.  I don't think he got to go on location to West Point - when he got sent in to the soccer game, the man in with his number was a lot taller and stockier.....

I noticed that he totally changed into another person in that scene!

Keep your eye out for Cindy Robbins and Yvonne Lime (both from I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF) in upcoming episodes! Plus Peter Brown and cute little Mimi Gibson.

As much as I am really enjoying each episodes stories, I am also having so much fun seeing so many familiar faces....and falling in love with previously unknown (to me) actors who look so dang good in those West Point uniforms!

[elmore3003]

Hmm. What did I do?

You need more saltpeter in your diet.

I have no idea how big or small these images will post, so here goes:





Ask BK:

First of all, do you have this book, THEN AND NOW, 1973-2004 by Ed Ruscha?  I only learned of it when browsing Hollywood "then and now" titles after reading Adriana.  Found a wonderful copy at a great price, and it's certainly worthy of an entire discussion.

Now, here's a memory question for BK or DR Jane or DR Druxy or anyone who can help:  In the 1973 photograph there's a restaurant visible between the American Airlines building and Capitol Records (where the pagoda thing sits later) called Munch Box.  Do you remember it?  What was it?  Any description would be of interest because I came across a couple of notes from 1972-73 indicating I'd eaten there a few times, and I had no memory of its name or anything about it.

I could probably get that sign clearer with a large hi-res scan, but I think if you squint you can get the idea.

This book, and Ed Ruscha's project, is a godsend - as one would expect - while exploring it can be a bit of a strange experience.  But:  wow.

What a fascinating book, DR ChasSmith! I see that Amazon.com has several "then and now" books for various cities and I have just put one for Portland, Oregon in my wish list, along with several other books about "vintage" Portland that looked good.

Chester graduates from obedience class today.

You must be a very proud papa, DR Druxy!

[MBarnum]

I also added a Hollywood Then and Now and a Los Angeles Then and Now...but not the one that DR ChasSmith's picture is from, cause it cost over 100 dollars!!

[MBarnum]

DR JRand62, I am really glad you are enjoying WEST POINT.

I am trying to decide now if I want to spring for the TOMBSTONE TERRITORY sets. Lots of good guest stars in that show.

Very nice photo, Druxy!

[ChasSmith]

It's apparently $175 new!  I bought one of the $59 ones, and it's perfect, with but one tiny remainder mark on the bottom.  The book comes in a very-thin-cardboard slipcover which I think is easily subject to damage, and mine had one corner a little bit disfigured.  More than worth it to me.  Worth its weight in gold, actually.  A unique book.

[ChasSmith]

I also just ordered two of the more typical Then and Nows for Hollywood, $20 total.  Need to catch up with that 15-year-old.

Drove through some pretty heavy snow flurries, but the roads were fine.  I got home just in time to see Pope Francis I make his appearance on the balcony.

[Jrand74]

Nice graduation photo DR DRUXY.  Chester certainly looks as though he knows he accomplished something!

DR MBARNUM - I watched the episode last night that had all the gals in it.....  I am thinking that ZIV got word from CBS that the show needed more GIRLS....because since the Gloria Talbott episode, most of the shows have revolved around drag problems....

Drag being the name the cadets gave to their gals!

[MBarnum]

I think you are correct, DR JRAnd. The show needed a romance angle for the housewives.
