So after 50 years, last night I watched THE AMERICANIZATION OF EMILY.

I had seen so many UNFUNNY and USELESS Glenn Ford WWII "comedies" that I thought this was just another one of them......I didn't really pay attention to the fact that it was written by Paddy Chayefsky...which makes all the difference.

I enjoyed it very much.....some really great performances by James Garner, Julie Andrews, James Coburn, and Melvin Douglas....and a funny appearance by Steve Franken

I don't even remember Glen Ford in that movie.  Probably because I saw it when it first came out.

Glenn wasn't but it was a good one. It was Garner's favorite of his films.

I listened to Garner read his autobiography while I was on the BBQ trail. Really enjoyed it.

Hello!   Speaking of James Garner, I watched The Thrill of It All last night.  It co-starred Doris Day, of course. And 56-year old expectant mother Arlene Francis.

TOD: Too many to name. Many I fell in love with through studying dance and others through musical devourings.

But the first one that comes to mind that I kept listening to over and over again as a kid was Prokoviev's PETER AND THE WOLF. Of course, I couldn't help but love the narration style of the wonderful Sterling Holloway as well. It seems storytelling always went with music from that point on.

Unless "How Awful" sounds like "How Waffle."

DING DING DING!!  We have a winner.

I guess I was too subtle.

Or, it could be the intellectual deficiencies of the reader (I am only speaking for myself, of course).

Page four?  Really?

Apparently, today is hacker day for our web host.  All the sites he hosts that use wordpress have been inundated with people trying to hack into wordpress by using every combination of password they can - these people seriously need to just die.  Quickly and with great pain.  But we've been down twice - our folks are on it and blocking them as fast as they can.

I was enjoying the sound of the hard rain until I just heard a loud clap of thunder as I began typing.  I think I will get off the computer and go unplug my Nook.  My Nook does not like when it is charging and the power goes out.

[George]

I just got this message, but I had to open up a new browser to be able to get back on:

All seems well, now...hopefully, it'll last!

[Jane]

I don't remember seeing that one George-strange.

[Jane]

It is quiet now but I will take a break from the computer anyway and read for awhile.

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

[George]

I don't remember seeing that one George-strange.

It's probably just been the message that the server at my work that I'm going through got.

(If that sentence makes sense.)

Cilla, I'm very disappointed in Edith. I feel she owes you more loyalty than this! I hope it all works out in your favor.

[Jeanne]

Bach's Violin Concerto in E used to be my favorite Bach. I'm not sure it still is, but I've always loved Bach.

[Cillaliz]

From DR Cilla:

I'm just hurt by the way things happened and there isn't anything I can do about it.

Of course you do.  You have been very good to her & she has left you in a difficult situation.  Rant/whine all you want. 

Well, that mood is way over.  Today was such a calm peaceful day.  Bob and I both got so much work done.  It feels like it did back when I first opened my office.  I'm not even going to look for anyone for at least a couple weeks and maybe not until I know what is going to happen job wise.  Lots of solo lawyers around here don't have an assistant or secretary.

[Cillaliz]

Continued vibes for DR CILLA LIZ......give it to spirit, and see who walks in the door.

Thanks JRand.   I felt really sad last night and just let myself be mad then sad and I'm feeling much better today.   Edith gave her key and parking card to the building maintenance man to give to me.  She didn't even come up to get her stuff.  Of course she didn't mention to him that she already has a new job , just that we had a disagreement and she quit.  At this point I really don't care. There is so much less chaos here with just Bob and I plugging away and getting our work done.   I quite like it, actually.

I have put out the word I'm looking for someone part time.  Not going to advertise, just sent it out via several grapevines.  I have no doubt that things will be fine and better things are to come.   I'm already feeling freer and more in charge of my own business.

It sounds like she is really pushing you away instead of dealing with the situation.  Feelings of guilt will do that.

On the upside you have reached the point of fed-up.

I truly hope you become a judge.

Thanks Jane.  So do I. I have until the 18th to get the app in.  I have it pretty much done. Just have a couple things to finalize and get my references confirmed.

I took Paul out for dinner tonight.  He's been on a vegetarian kick.  Tonight he had a blue cheese burger and fries and said he hasn't felt so good in ages, lol

[Ginny]

I fixed a taco dinner for the 4 of us tonight and Mary Linda's been in the kitchen since we finished.  She boiled eggs, made mayonnaise, and then made egg salad.  Rob is napping until he has to be at work at midnight.

[vixmom]

hello

[vixmom]

were back at the IHOP again tonight for dinner where I greatly enjoyed the new chicken quesadilla

[vixmom]

I should have asked for a half order

[vixmom]

but I didn't

[vixmom]

and I ate every last bite

[vixmom]

if I disappear suddenly it may well be  because I burst

That's my idea of vegetarianism.
