Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of the kaftan, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently parading around in their cowftans.

Very nice, warm sunny day today.

I went to Staples this morning and saw a corner workstation which would suit me perfectly. Trouble is it was too big to get in my car and as it was on special offer they wouldn't deliver.

Good morning, all! Yesterday afternoon, I baited a moustrap and set it out and the rodent didn't fall for the trap. Hopefully, that little sucker will be dead by Monday.

I was awakened around 12:45am when the printer started running and scaring the hell out of me. After that, I slept well.

I have the errands to run today that I postponed yesterday while I waited to hear - and did not - from an actor's manager. I did talk to Rob Berman and we have a good plan of attack if this falls through. Rob believes it will work itself out satisfactorily. We'll see.

It would be nice if I had a good role to offer Guy Haines, who's one of my favorite singers, and perhaps one day, if this series continues (I hope!), I will.

Despite being one of my favorite actors, looking at his credits I realise that Tony Curtis hasn't been in all that many really great films. I remember enjoying "The Purple Mask" in 1955 which was the very first film in which I saw him. I knew his name very well at that time because everyone used to talk about wanting to have a Tony Curtis haircut (remember that?). "The Purple Mask" seems to have become something of a lost film though - I haven't seen it again since it was first released.

TCB - Then how wonderful that a friend did that for you, and that you're now physically able to take him up on the generous offer.

DR TCB, is this the day your cruise begins? Have a wonderful time!

Today is the day of my brother in law's memorial.... I will be doing The Rose in sign language. There will be a candle ceremony, and a Native American fire. My friend Adam will play the flute while people write messages to Mike and put them in the fire....it will be very nice.....

Just finished the laundry.

Anthony is on the mend but still sniffling and coughing. I had breakfast at Pret a Manger, yogurt with julienne sliced apples, cinnamon, raisins and a sprinkling of granola. I also had a cup of coffee. They have oatmeal at Pret but I went for the yogurt.

I'll be off to the library at 10 to return Torch Song (OMG, Joan in Blackface, what a jaw-dropping segment) and a documentary on the history of the vibrator. We saw excerpts when we watched Hysteria last week and wanted to see the entire documentary. It's AMAZING that in Texas and, I think, 3 other Southern states, it is illegal, punishable by fines and jail time, to sell vibrators!!! As one of the lawyers says, you can buy and sell Viagra with ease but vibrators, nope!!

I think TCB is on a plane to Louisiana right now. He said he had to be at the airport at 4am Washington State time so he's either at the airport or in the air.

Jack, best wishes for the memorial service. Sounds like it will be well done.

Larry, Rob Berman is all knowing and all wise. Hope he's right about the resolution of the drama. Mama Mia, what a mess!

HYSTERIA was my favorite movie of last year. I laughed a lot. My beloved Kim Criswell os one of the best things in it.

Is that by choice, or do you need the closet for something else?

The last time I saw Tony Curtis on stage he was playing Osgood in the musical SUGAR at the NJ Performing Arts center. (They retitled it SOME LIKE IT HOT for the tour.)

Lenora Nemetz was also in the show as Sweet Sue. By all reviews, Tony was awful on opening night, all his reviews were bad, but he had really warmed up by the time I saw it later in the week and the ushers were commenting on that, how it was too bad the critics saw him with no previews, his first night in the space when he was really getting used to the NJPAC theater, which had been very different than the space they had beenin the week before..

Found two more of my high school teachers on Facebook...one who taught English and one who had the Yearbook class. Nice to know that they are still around, although I have no clue if they remember me or not.
