Wednesday morning greetings! Richard and I have been finishing up our tax paperwork and he's now taking it to our accountant's office. I attribute 32 years of marital happiness, in part, to the fact that we've never tried to do our own taxes!

LOL, DR Ginny!

Thank you. I really don't want the expense this year.

FJL, listened to "Love Is Like Water" this morning. Really beautiful song.

Elmore, did you read "Gerald's Game"? I can't remember where in the chronology that one fits. But it started out to be his best book because the terror was so real and human, and then he ruined it with some unnecessary alien element that made it all silly.

I've listened to many of his book since then, but I won't sit down with a copy and read one.

But maybe you'll get a tax deduction if it's more energy efficient. We're hoping for that because of the new furnace we bought in 2012...

Story on the costume designer for the underdesigned production of "Hello, Dolly!" that BK saw. As if BK's review didn't say enough, this makes me want to see the show even less.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/theater_dance/at-fords-theatre-costume-designer-dresses-dolly-with-an-updated-period-flair/2013/03/26/854c87da-9624-11e2-9e23-09dce87f75a1_story.html?hpid=z12

And the costumes are dreary. Would love to see FJL do a spoof to the tune of "So Long, Dearie." Maybe "Dolly's Dreary."

Good grief - the red dress isn't in the finale - it closes the First Act.....or maybe some leading ladies put it back on for the curtain call.....

Jrand74 · « **Reply #43 on:** March 27, 2013, 09:53:26 AM »

Sounds kind of like DR JOSE's The Music Man set during the depression......which also happened in D.C.

TOD:

So, when did you stop reading Stephen King? Was there a certain novel or collection of stories that just ended it for you?

Somewhere around Pet Sematary. And then when every book automatically became the length of The Stand I just lost interest. I tried to go back with Dreamcatcher, which was, of all the King books I've read, the nadir. I hear the Kennedy book is a real return to form.

I didn't even mention Before the Parade Passes By, in which the cast are all in dreary costumes WATCHING the parade - pass by, which you never see, of course.

I saw that in D.C. at the Arena.

I mentioned that production of A TIME TO KILL very briefly but glowingly in the comments under the article at

11//22/63 could have used a good editor. It was about 4 CDs, or anywhere from 120-150 pages, too long. Too much stuff about swing dance lessons, but the rest was cherce.

from BK's notes:

I do know that I can never get down to the kind of weight I had fifteen years ago, when I was still in my 140s

Really? You look remarkable for your age!

Perhaps, BK, on days such as Wednesday's Ask BK Day, you might consider adding a secondary topic for discussion. Most of us have been around this site for a long time, and it is difficult to think of new and revealing questions. But just because we don't have questions, the post total should not have to suffer.

Yes, I saw that on Diane Sawyer last week. A much needed response indeed.

I am sure you have answered this before, but if the Kritzer books were brought to the screen, have you ever thought of who you would like to play Benjamin?

There's a stage actor kid here in LA who'd be fantastic - don't remember his name, but I've seen him in two shows. Other than that, I really think we'd just have to find a kid.

It was a bus ride from hell getting home today, and I am home. I need to run to the market.

I also need a nap.

My favorite Stephen King book, and filmed adaption, is THE STAND. I don't often reread novels, but THE STAND was an exception. And the TV miniseries was everything I wanted it to be.

Second favorite would be a tie between THE DEAD ZONE and IT. I really liked the film version of THE DEAD ZONE, but the TV adaptation of IT should never have shown us IT. A big disappointment, they should have showed the adults seeing IT, but left it to the viewers imagination.

Come to think of IT, I reread both THE DEAD ZONE and IT.
