Well, you've read the notes, the notes were dressed to kill, and now it is time for you to post until the one long take cows come home.

Good morning, all.

Coffee.

Yes, coffee.

I'm looking at Brian De Palma's filmography. This is a rather shocking revelation, even to myself, but the most recent film of his I saw was MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. And I've only ever seen it on home video, which tells you how excited I was about that new incarnation of it in 1996.

However, the last one I went to, and actually truly watched, was THE UNTOUCHABLES. That's 1987, folks. Nineteen hundred and eighty-seven. At the Cinerama Dome. And it was a huge thing then, as we all know, and I found it to be fine. On the other hand, I never returned to it or even watched it on cable or home video until fairly recently when I acquired it as part of the new "Gangsters" sets on Blu-ray, and it was indeed nice to see it again, and to see it well.

And though I like Tom Wolfe, I never got around to reading BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES, nor have I seen the film -- because based on Wolfe's earlier books I always thought it more proper to read it first and then see whatever has been done to it. So, I haven't yet made contact with it at all. And I have not the slightest idea what any of his other later films are about. Not the slightest.

I know that how the body reacts to things during the day and during the night can be two entirely different things, whether it's a cold or a pain or what have you. (Why, it's like night and day!) I am hoping to hear that DR ELMORE has gotten a more decent rest than in preceding nights.

Good morning, all.

Continued healing vibes for Elmore and all in need.

Singsaw, I notice from the later notes yesterday that for a few weeks at least, we are the same age. I have found this year to have been filled with innumerable blessings and I hope your 50th is as well. Enjoy the ride.

FROM YESTERDAY

TCB

Congrats on your anniversary. It is never easy as I have friends who are also in recovery as they like to call it.

Michael · « **Reply #12 on:** September 15, 2013, 06:16:24 AM »

I'm off to the play reading in less than an hour. I hope this will count as my audition as they are going to have a full production of it.

Continued feel better vibes for DR ELMORE.

Rent the office vibes for DR CILLA LIZ.

Congrats to DR TCB on his anniversary yesterday.....I meant CLOSING NIGHT not NIGHTS.....if that answers the question...

Sunday....I have a sore throat today.....but I had 15 consultations yesterday, and that's a LOT of talking....but then it always helps the bank account!!!

Good morning, all! I turned off the lights at 9:00om last night, tossed, turned, got up around 10:30 and played at the computer, went back to bed and finally fell asleep around 3am. I really hate this.

Ben · « **Reply #18 on:** September 15, 2013, 07:19:37 AM »

Vibes to you Dear Larry.

I'm having a strange appliance weekend as well: at 10:30 last night my computer shut down. I have no idea if the plug in the power cable died or if some gremlin suddenly shut shut something down, so I plugged it into another outlet and things were fine. Today, i'm having a problem playing a CD I burned from my iTunes playlist on the Big System: the CD player refuses to acknowledge that it has a CD and will not play, yet the burned CD plays fine in my computer.

Best of luck with the office, DR cillaliz!

Thank you all for the continued vibes! Tomorrow is another round of physical therapy, and I look forward to it.

I've had my breakfast and my meds, and I think I will do some stretching exercises before I continue with CASTLE 5.

Bruce Pomahac called, and he is going to visit me today around 3:30, which I look forward to. After sitting home all day with little to do, it's nice to have some company. Rob Berman should be back tonight from LA and the Emmy Awards, and he's coming by this week to visit as well.

I'll be on Beverley's show this evening with my review of Pippin. Her show begins at 4pm Eastern Time and runs for 2 hours. I don't know where I'll be in the show, just that I will be on the air.

I'll send out the e-mail blast after the show has aired with TuneScoop information and BWOM (that's Beverley's World of Music) information.

I know that some people will disagree with my review (i.e. they won't like the show) but them's the races. It worked for me and I'm very glad I got a chance to see it, especially before Andrea Martin left (she's no longer in the show).

Ben · « **Reply #22 on:** September 15, 2013, 09:13:50 AM »

We had scrambled eggs, toast with peach jam, a clapper pear and coffee (me) and tea (Anthony) for breakfast and now I'm listening to more BBC. My dear friend Alex Hall and Songs from the Show on BBC Tees/Newcastle.

Even though it's a beautiful fall Manhattan day we are both in. Anthony is working on the computer in the living room getting some music ready to burn and I'm taking care of business in the other room on the desktop. We will probably go out later for a bit before Beverley's show begins. Anthony has tap class in the late afternoon so he won't be listening to the show.

I believe That Sundays should be a day of rest, and no unnecessary work should be done!

I will watch the Bills hopefully win against the Carolina Panthers.

And of course I also will be reading KRITZER TIME, which as far as I'm concerned is a Sibling to CATCHER IN THE RYE!

Kate · « **Reply #27 on:** September 15, 2013, 09:39:18 AM »

DR BK,

I really have to admire you for sticking to your Diet.

How much weight have you lost??

Ben · « **Reply #28 on:** September 15, 2013, 09:43:38 AM »

My mistake, Andrea Martin hasn't left Pippin yet. She's in the show for another week. I misspoke earlier and Fred caught the error.

Thanks, Fred.

Kate · « **Reply #29 on:** September 15, 2013, 09:44:30 AM »

I watched LIFEBOAT last night on TCM. Very Good!!

It was so clever the way Alfred Hitchcock appeared in the movie!

Can anyone guess (without looking it up where)?
