Well, you've read the notes, the notes had balls, and now it is time for you to post until the ballsy cows come home.

Interesting details in the orchestration.

Good morning, all! Today is the 57th anniversary of the Andrea Doria disaster. When I was a kid, the articles and reports on the sinking fascinated me.

This is my housekeeping day: laundry and tidying up the shambles this apartment has become in the past week.

More later.

Good morning, all.

Oy!  6:30 was wa-a-ay too early to rise.

Sitting across the road from the ballsy cows.

Todays TOD:


I would love to be able to Golf.

A lot of my girlfriends just started to learn. My husband is a great golfer.  In fact he just left for a golfing tournament.

I'm just afraid that I would injure myself.

Thursday morning greetings!  After two days out and about, I'm relishing a relaxing morning puttering around the house.  I do have to do some grocery shopping today and go to a membership recruitment event for AAUW this evening, but today will be much lower key than yesterday and the day before.

Last night I watch a DVD I have called 84 Charing Cross Road.

It stars Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins.

I have watched it several times, and I still enjoy it so!

I guess only book lovers would love it like I do.  I said to my hubby, thats where I would have liked to had worked.  A beautiful bookstore in London surrounded by classical books.

TOD - Singing.  I'd been told all my life I couldn't sing and some of my theatre friends here, including DR Elmore, encouraged me to start voice lessons at the ripe old age of 25.  I learned enough to stumble through some musicals, but mostly to appreciate the talent it takes to do it well.

DR BK,

In regards to yesterdays discussion of writing another Adriana book, please do so!

It would be interesting to see how Adriana grows and matures.

And of course If you had a new character like Aunt Kate, her eccentric aunt, to guide her it would most likely sell like Hot Cakes, LOL, ( Just Kidding)

All joking aside I really do Love Adriana and the other cast of characters.

I'm Back!

Getting back to the movie 84 Charing Cross Road, there was a poem I espeially loved.

Anthony Hopkins, as Frank Doel reads a poem called HE WISHES FOR THE CLOTHS OF HEAVEN by
Williams Butler Yeats.

I think it is just beautiful.  Here it is for all you poem lovers:


Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread soflty because you tread on my dreams

Does anyone else love this poem like I do?

TOD: There are so many things in this world that I'd love to be able to do: Play the bassoon, have more of a green thumb, understand medicine and its effect on the body, balance my checkbook and know more about finances ...

I work at the gardening and my job is teaching me more and more about finances, but I doubt I'll ever play the bassoon.

I love Helene Hanff's UNDERFOOT IN SHOW BUSINESS and I just order Q'S LEGACY, which sounds wonderful. I always wanted to meet her. I loved the book 84 CHARING CROSS ROAD, I sorta liked the play on Broadway, and I have never seen the film.

I've only seen the first few scenes of the film.  That's not a put-down, and God knows I love the two stars.  But let's face it, it's not the kind of book that cries for translation to the screen.  I'll get around to it one of these days.  I think I have a TCM recording somewhere...
