I will indeed be playing Banjo in THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER, which is fine.  I only wish Sheridan was being played by someone I really liked.....onstage OR off.....

Are you going to sing the Jimmy Durante song?

I'm with y'all on these sequels:

The Godfather II and III
French Connection II
Aliens (I can enjoy the last two films, too, though good sequels, let alone great movies, they are not)
Back to the Future II and III

I know there are others, but they aren't coming to mind.  Certainly there are worthy ones from the Universal and Hammer horror days, and from a few other "franchises" of various stripes.

In general, though, nowadays, the word "sequel" carries about as bad a connotation as "remake".

I also liked the ALIEN sequels.

It was cloudy and a tiny bit rainy up here, also, DR Jane. It was a nice relief from that hot weather!

Alas, the forcast has us back in the 90s this weekend.  :P

Very busy morning.  But had breakfast with the helper - sausage and eggs and toast but only one piece of toast and no potatoes, then we did our Costco run.  Picked up two packages and then I finally had to call the Apple Care and get them to do something about the horrendous behavior of the Mac Mail program.  I couldn't even get it to launch and it was giving me all kinds of weird messages - I restarted the computer but it's been erratic for a year now and I can't deal with it anymore.  I got an expert on the phone and did the thing where he can see my computer screen - he saw that Mail was trying to bring in 56,000 e-mails and when I told him it did that five or six times a DAY, he said something was definitely wrong.  So he had me remove three folders from the mail folder and he had me rebuild everything and he said that other than bringing everything in one time, it should now know that mail is already there and doesn't need to be re brought in every time.  Hopefully that will work.  I'll probably know by this evening and I've got this guy's personal contact.  And now to jog.  Oh, and we had a little drama (not me personally) with one of the And the World Goes Round actresses - this person was the one person who came with the package - when I agreed to do the album I didn't want anyone from the production they'd just done but they insisted this girl was part of it and I thought she'd be okay and said yes.  And she is okay.  But she's now behaving poorly with the musical director, which is not smart as this would not have happened without he and his parents.  People need to understand when they are given a gift.  But, alas.

Must jog now so I can eat PIZZA from Dino's later.  And then there's this cherry pie that's here, which I will bring to the meeting so my temptation is not too high.

My SONY Blu-Ray player, which is less than 2 years old, seems to have died.         :P

No!! :o  And it's probably cheaper to get a new one than to try and get it fixed...that seems to be the case for so many things anymore.
Did you get it at Costco? They do an automatic double year warranty on electronics.

I didn't know that.

I didn't know that either.  I'll certainly keep that in mind.

Just heard from my folks. It seems that while Dad was driving Mom to her volunteer work, another car ran a red light and crashed into them. They're both OK, if still a little shaken up by what happened. But the car had to be hauled off. I don't know if it's totaled or not.

Word has spread quickly, and it seems as if a great many people from church have volunteered to take them to the grocery, etc. Plus, one of my sisters is due to drive in Friday for a week-long visit.

The Canadian Open Golf tournament is happening this week.  The place is at least 15-20 minutes from me. But for some reason they have decided that the huge lawn beside the bike path I use should be the parking lot. People are being bused to the tournament.  It is bizarre to me. I could see if the place was 5 minutes away. i guess there are no other parking lots or grass closer??

DR Elmore, he worked 4 midnights in a row the week between Lauren's wedding and the move and said that was a bit much.  He and Mary Linda didn't see much of each other that week.

When Keith was in school and worked nights often we would only see each other sleeping, or grunting a hello.  In retrospect those days were much easier than the long stretches he would travel for work.

I thought you were going to say  in retrospect those days were easier than when he was home   LOL   ;D

Alas, the forcast has us back in the 90s this weekend.  :P

The temps dropped from over 90 to 72.  It is still hot in the house.  I didn't see any lightening and we got some rain.  It was loud enough I could hear it and lasted awhile.

Does she use earplugs?  If not I suppose she will have to from now on.

;D  They are are easier now that he is home.  I'm the one that has taken trips without him.  Without a dog here to keep him company he misses me more when I'm gone so I go less.
