I could swear there was a spell check feature just a few days ago. I think when you previewed on quick reply you had the option.

I think DR CILLA LIZ should immediately go to Des Moines and make an offer on that house!

I've been thinking of writing a novel for the past 50 years but haven't got round to it yet  ;D

I have written a play, Mr. Jaffee!
An average conductor's day, Mr. Jaffee.
It's all about life on a train.
I call it "Life… On A Train".

If you put them on the stage, I guarantee, it will be a great success. Oh yes!

DR BK,

I so excited that you will be writing your new book soon!

As you know, I have loved every book of yours so far.

Right now I am on Chapter VIIII of Kritzer Time.



I hope that your new book becomes a BEST SELLER AND SENSATIONAL MOVIE.

As far as the new book style is concerned, don't be afraid to venture into new territory.

You never know what wonderful things will happen!

Would you have had a crush on "Race" Bannon if you knew that he and Dr. Quest were a couple?

Yes, and I would have been jealous, as well.

I know a number of you have read some of my December missives posted from my mom's computer in Johnston SC over the past years.

Among the colorful (at least, to me) people I've named in my posts is my Uncle Rock Bledsoe...a true character.  He was born in (or near) Johnston SC some 80 years ago and there he remains.

Recently a TV crew from Augusta GA caught up with him at a Strom Thurmond High School (!) football game (this high school is "it" for Edgefield County SC, and Thurmond was born and raised and is the favorite son of Edgefield County).

My uncle's cachet for TV news (and they were there covering the game, I believe) is that he has been working the sidelines of the Thurmond football officiating crew for almost 46 years.  As he indicates, he started in 1967 when his son (my cousin Butch) was quarterback of the team.

WJBF TV New Feature on my Uncle Rock


P.S.  Any resemblance my uncle has to Frank Sinatra is purely imaginary.

DR Singdaw, How are your moving plans going?



Thanks for asking, DR Kate!


I have a verbal estimate on the cost of moving our stuff...  But that's about as far as it has gone at this point.


It is looking now like the move will happen sometime between now and Christmas.


I learned yesterday that I did NOT get an arts administration job that I had applied for - which I would have been perfect for - so that is disappointing. But I know that things will work out OK in the long run.

An wrestler/actor I am interviewing has just entered The Bigg Boss house.

Bigg Boss is India's version of the competition show Big Brother, except that the contestants are celebrities of one type or another, mostly Indian, but mixed with a few from either UK or USA or some other western country.

So we won't be finishing our interview until he either wins or gets evicted.

DR MBarnum, I read that as "either wins or gets excited."     :P

Good morning, all!

Once again I went to bed at 10:00, and because of the throbbing in my left fot didn't get to sleep until after 1am. I awoke at 10, sat in a tub of hot water for 30 minutes and now I am catching up.

Today would have been John McGlinn's 59th birthday. He was a person of enormous potential and too many personal demons. I am listening to his ANNIE GET YOUR GUN recording.

This afternoon, I will attempt to do my laundry. Wish me luck.

DR singdaw, I am sorry the job fell through; I hope and wish that it means you'll find something better.

BK, I look forward to more details on the book's progress.

Wednesday morning greetings!  I was very tired when I got home from my nonprofit board leadership class last night.  Slept in today, until the doggie alarm next door woke me up.  Mom wants to go shopping this afternoon, so I'll be E & T for a while after lunch.

Happy birthday, Mr. McGlinn. RIP. And thanks for letting me enjoy Cole Porter's "Within the Quota" ballet, which will be my choice for tribute for today.
