Thank goodness there was one last little bit of Harvey's Bristol Cream Sherry to finish.

I do have a full, unopened, bottle. Obviously I don't have room for it. That is ok because I have a special home for it. My friend who recently lost her husband, and lost her mother only six months ago, will be pleased when I give it to her. It was her mother's favorite drink and every once in awhile she likes to have a little and toast her mother. I should have dropped it off for Mother's Day, only I wasn't thinking that far ahead. I will give it to her on Tuesday when I see her for my last book group.

DR Jane, following your move is very interesting to me. Having lived in the same town for almost 42 years, and the same house for 27, I can't imagine what it must be like.

Vibes that this week goes as smoothly as possible!

LOL, I am glad to be entertaining. I admit, I am not bored, panicked but not bored

I think we will need a small trailer. Keith desperately doesn't want one.

Thanks to our DR ChasSmith, my four cartons are home and I took him to dinner at Artie's to thank him. It's late, and the Real Housewives are calling.

It's been a good day.

I was a semi bad boy and got some halvah - I don't eat it very often but every now and again it looks good to me and I revisit it.

The Oxford comma - I like it. The guy who proofs the liner notes for the Paramount titles always removes it. Here is an example of the Oxford comma: Sami, mom, and Alby. Without: Sami, mom and Alby.

I would do the second.

I must organize. Putting playbills in order is an all-day job in itself.

I think I should go back to using the "Oxford comma."

My only connection to Broadway just ended, "Theater Talk" on PBS. Oh well, on to The Simpsons, and Bob's Burgers, and whatever else may appear. What's funny about Bob's Burgers is that of the 4 lead female characters, only 1 is voiced by a bona fide woman, Kristen Schaal.

Which in a strange way makes me think of the late, versatile character actors, Richard Schaal, and Richard Stahl.

AntennaTV is playing a "One Day At A Time" marathon. Talk about a TV show that hasn't aged well IMHO. I think it was a stretch for me to have ever watched it first run, but that may have been Valerie Bertinelli's fault.

That puts you in the Harvard camp. Also, the Oxford PR Dept. Only Oxford Press supports its eponymous comma.

Bruce wouldn't like it but I think Harvey's would go very well with Halvah.

Russ and Daughters had delicious marbled Halvah when I was in NY.

I wish. I'm about 30 minutes into and I'm not liking the melodrama of it all. And the bad cinematography.

When I return home I will pack my suitcase now that Keith has ordered a 4x8 foot enclosed trailer.

I know we posted about Dickens, Elmer Bernstein, and Anthony Newley on other days, but here's a clip of a movie that ties them all together: Mister Quilp (portrayed by Newley), which was originally titled the same as the Dickens novel, The Old Curiosity Shop. Not sure why the name was changed.

I want to see this movie. When it comes to the novel, I was in the Oscar Wilde camp and laughed when Little Nell died. Not exactly laughed, maybe but certainly not upset by it. Some of Dickens' worst writing.
