Castello Banfi

The Banff squirrel has his own Castello??   

[singdaw]

They're running a picture of a crustless pizza in the San Francisco Chronicle today.

I went to the website. I didn't see any photos of crustless pizza, but in my pizza-state mind, I read the headline "Fatal Hit-Run in Berkeley" as "Fatal Hit-Run in Bakery."

That's very interesting DR DRUXY.  Have you seen the news of the new Diane McBain biography coming out?

[John G.]

Not exactly the same, but it was enough of a reminder of a pleasant trip, Humdinger.

[singdaw]

That is beautiful, DR John G.!   It must have been a wonderful trip.

He really gets around!

This is the Banff squirrel:

There was a comedian on, I think SCTV, who had a wonderful way of phrasing things (and I can't remember who it was). But the line that still makes the 12-year-old in me laugh was when he said something about going away with his girlfriend and they went to "Alberta and Banff." And he made Banff sound like some sort of sexual act.

I love the A PLACE IN THE SUN cover.  I can't quite figure out, who is more beautiful; Liz or Monty!

[singdaw]

who is more beautiful

The raisin.


Oh wait - that's A RAISIN IN THE SUN.

Back in the hotel after a day out in the countryside with my brother and sister etc. I previously said that the hotel provides unlimited free wi fi but it's a weak signal and very hit and miss as to whether I get connected.

[Jane]

Very funny DR George.

[Jane]

DR Matthew I hope you are feeling more cheerful today.

I slept again until ten, so at least a few hours of blessed sleep, but with really weird dreams.

Lots of orders to print out (this one will probably be gone by tomorrow or Wednesday.  Then I had a BLT-A and some onion rings and a visit from our very own Mr. Nick Redman.

That 2500 dollar signed copy of Cuckoo's Calling on the ABE sold.  It's unbelievable.  And now there's a proliferation of UK hardbacks on eBay BUT if you read the really small print they're preorders because, wait for it, the publisher has rushed a second printing of the book that's coming out on the 25th.  The signed copy on eBay will probably end up going for two grand or more (it ends tomorrow) - there are a lot of US first editions up, most going for fifty to one hundred bucks, even though it can probably still be found in stores - I'm sure the publisher here has rushed a second printing, too.  It's pretty amusing to watch this.

For those of you who have read my published screenplay, THE SUMMER FOLK, you are aware that it is somewhat autobiographical, dealing with the summers of my childhood that my family spent in Soap Lake, WA.  (I also wrote about that time in my memoir, and my novel, NOBODY DROWNS IN MINERAL LAKE, is set there.).

Last week, I got a request from the artistic director of the community theater in Soap Lake, asking if I would be interested in adapting my screenplay to the stage, as they would like to present it.  Interestingly, I wrote this story as a stage play 30 years ago...on a typewriter.   

I dug the manuscript out of storage...and decided that I wasn't happy with it.  However, what I don't like is definitely fixable, so that's my project for the next month or two.  The theater would like to stage the play next June.

Druxy, congrats on the interest and good luck!

Congrats to Druxy from us, too!

Congratulations.  Vibes your play is a big hit.

Lovely!

Of course I had to share this with Keith.

I'll buy the CD in the morning.

CD was purchased!

The Media has been alerted.

Huge sighs of relief have gone up across the realm!


 

As well it should be!

That is one beautiful picture!

If I thought that yesterday was hot it is going to be much hotter/more humid this week. I think wed is supposed to have a humidex of 43C. I don't even want to know what that is in F but i'm sure it must be close to 100F.

[Jennifer]

There were so many people at the pool. Very crowded.

[Jennifer]

My younger niece is now loving the pool. She puts on her goggles and drops a key chain to the bottom and then dives under to get it. She is improving so much every day.
