My mother's name is Alice.....so now and then my father would say:

"To the moon, Alice.....to the moon!"

Very interesting reading MR BK's family history posts.

A lot of AIR PATROL took place in a building that had the letters IT on the top....and it seemed to be down the street from the Mutual of Omaha building.

Was this a real building? I can't find any picture of it on Google..... I don't know what the IT stands for.

I am getting tired just reading DR JANE's posts.

LOL

At least we aren't doing the major part of the packing. We have done some, mostly what we are taking with us. It was a lot of work getting organized for them to pack.

Keith came home with pizza from a new pizza place. It is pretty good.

I was hungry.

There were 8 slices, 2 for each of us.

Yesterday I had cookies for the packers. They said some people won't even let them use the bathroom

There are other people who had to be informed that it is illegal not to give someone working at your house water to drink.

I guess while we have the move from hell story, they have the clients from hell stories.

Good afternoon. I have nothing of interest to say.

Our postman transferred to another route weeks ago. I swear I did not drive him away, but the local post office is dragging their goddam feet about another carrier. As a result we have a different one every day. Some days the mail arrives by 2:00 and most of the time it arrives between 5:00 and 7:00. Pisses me off.

A lot.

Back from a nice lunch meeting. I had a submarine sandwich - very good. Came with about one ounce of pasta on the side and a salad with about three pieces of lettuce.

Elmore, do you find there are some regular mail days where they seem to decide not to deliver the mail at all?

I think Jackie Gleason had a very interesting career.

One of his first major roles was in an Edward G. Robinson comedy, Larceny, Inc. The plot has been recycled many times: a mobster gang buys a store adjoining a bank. The store's basement aligns poifectly with the bank vault. Trouble and hilarity ensue.

Admittedly his was a very different Chester A. Riley than the version played by William Bendix. While I like both, as far as Life of Riley, I have to prefer Bendix because he was more believable as a dopey guy.

He did try his talents at dramatic roles. Gleason was excellent in Requiem for a Heavyweight and in The Hustler.

He did like to go toward pathos, such as his "Poor Soul" character and the title role in Gigot. As many times as I've seen these characters, I still have mixed feelings about them.

And Jackie Gleason's "music for lover's only". How much of it was him and how much of it really was just in-name-only I don't know. I like it, but maybe that makes me unsophisticated. But then again I have always liked how arrangers can take a song and totally change it, for better and for worse.

I know that people may not tell tales out of school, but as much acclaim as Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams have had, deservedly so, how much of their popularity is due to their orchestrators and arrangers? Just as a quick example. Goldsmith's theme for The Man From U.N.C.L.E., in my layperson/appreciator of music opinion, didn't get the pizazz that I like in spy themes until there was a later season arrangement by Gerald Fried and another by Morton Stevens. I'm just saying.

Umm...Jane? If there were 8 slices, shouldn't that be 4 for each of you?

Topic of the Day:

I've never seen "The Honeymooners." I've seen little snippets, but not even whole scenes...at least, that I can remember.

I struggled with this week's poetry assignment. This is what came about when brain, hand and pencil met paper:

Miracle of Wireless

Turning tuning intently
radio finding frequencies
invisible euphonic myriad;
Acoustic auspices arrays
segue to fantasia;
A siege of sounds
seizing my faculties now;
No longer following Euterpe;
Now act in amnesia, seemingly
by thoughts from she
who compels me.
A bootleg Blue Angel, or
phantasm from Pinocchio, no;
Calliope directing me
to the consonance in these
consonants and vowels
manifesting the melody
from within.

I have no idea where that came from.

I had a dream that I rescued a big friendly but very dirty dog. When he came in, I was on the phone telling someone I now had 8 dogs and 4 cats! I then gave the dog a bath and woke up. What's up with that

It rained all day today. We're in the bulls eye for severe storms this weekend. Oh joy
