[George]

I ordered a BE ACTIVE brace for my leg, hopefully it will do at least of what it claims it will do.....reviews on the inner web are mixed.

~~~Vibes for a Successful Bracing Experience!!~~~

I was watching Orson Welles' Scottish Play movie last night, and it reminded me of a rumor I read on the internet.....

Yes, I've read that and also his other possible out-of-wedlock son, Michael Lindsay-Hogg. Don't know if it's true, but look at the photos. Striking similarities. Oh, that Orson!

I didn't know who the guy in the picture on the top is, so I was wondering what the rumor was.  I was thinking that the rumor was that they we're lovers ...again, not knowing who the other guy is.

There was an article on yahoo News yesterday detailing the history of the film "The Last Starfighter"

https://www.yahoo.com/movies/the-last-starfighter-sequel-118964499732.html

It mentions the cast album of the musical, though in passing, just two paragraphs.

That's an interesting article, Fred.  Thanks for sharing. 

[George]

We are now in Vancouver.

Are actually living in your new house, Jane??  Congrats to you and Keith!

Well great, DR Dan M!

Maybe you can single-handedly clean up the morass that is the current state of broadcast television!

I thought it was elmore who was working on the Morass?

[George]

I am now a Nielsen family!

Congrats!  How does one actually become a "Nielsen family"?

[George]

Signing was VERY well attended - extra chairs needed, and I don't really know what we'd have done with the other eight people who were "absolutely" coming for sure, positively.  People never cease to amaze me.  I read two chapters (carefully chosen and in chapter one I stopped before the actual plot point kicked in in the last two pages.  The other chapter I read that I knew folks would enjoy was the drive Adriana has with her mother with her mother waxing nostalgic for the lost Sunset Strip and Westwood.  I answered questions, yakked for a bit, signed and a LOT of cake was consumed.

Congrats, BK!  I will start reading it very soonly!

[Cillaliz]

Ok, it's getting a little old.....but I'll keep watching, maybe it will get better

[TCB]

And just where is Mr TCB? Can I call him in a post and he'll show up?

Yes, but it takes about five hours.

Don't know. Just showed up in the mailbox today. But I'm such an atypical TV viewer (radio is also rated). I never followed the herd and never will. Name any big trend, fad or music group, chances are I don't, won't and will not.

[Jane]

Home sweet home

Best wishes for happiness in your new home DR Jane!

Thank you.  It will be a long month waiting to move into it but fun watching the changes.

[Jane]

I'd love to see them leave and have this problem over and done with. If I had a stronger back I'd even help them move. 

Good vibes are are out of there and you get nice quiet neighbors.

thanks. If they rent to an older adult I don't think there'd be a problem.

Unless they are deaf and both yell at each other.  The apartment building we lived in with isdues, and we were young but quiet, had young men who partied at night next door, and across the hall the shouting old couple in the mornings.

[Jane]

DanM - when do you need to be in Parker?

Unfortunately it's off for now. Since I have a phobia about the bus and there were no other alternatives, I had to speak with my friends about my issue. I feel really bad and I didn't want them to think of me as an ingrate. I still feel very appreciative of their going to the trouble of getting the ticket to the event for me. Luckily and thankfully the ticket won't go to waste. My friends have a niece who is a huge fan of George Noory and Coast to Coast, so she will be able to use the ticket. I did want to go and spend some time out there, to catch up with them all. And to see my kitty, Minny.

Maybe another time soon, I hope. There's just not that many affordable public ways to travel there from Tucson.

I am glad it worked out with the ticket and they understand.  I would not want to drive the distance.

[Jane]

Welcome home, Jane!

Thank you.  Home

[Jane]

Home sweet home

Congratulations!!!

Thanks.

[Jane]

So exciting DR JANE!!!

It is . We went for a walk along the path from the condo before coming to our hotel room.

[Jane]

George we rented this room, with a frig and cooktop, for a month.  The room looks nice but the bed is lumpy.  The kitchen should be stocked but we have to ask for what we need.

On the upside we walked to a little Indian restaurant for an enjoyable meal and then to Baskin Robbins for ice cream.

[Jane]

I brought our scale to make sure we don't eat like this every night.

Cool!

Bruce, good news about the book signing.

[Jane]

DR Singdaw thanks for the update on Michael.

Vibes everything will be ok!!!

I believe the one picture is Mr. Welles and the other is possibly his son.  But I have no idea who he is.

I just watched a made-for-British-TV movie musical set in both 1969 and 1929 called That Day We Sang, starring Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton.  It's based on a stage musical written and directed by Victoria Wood, who also directed the movie.  Here's the synopsis:

That Day We Sang, by Victoria Wood, is a musical set in Manchester, 1969. It’s the story of Tubby & Enid, two lonely middle-aged people who grab a second chance at life, reconnected by the power of music. They meet at a reunion of the Manchester Children’s Choir who made the iconic Columbia recording of Nymphs and Shepherds in 1929.

Tubby and Enid’s faltering romance is interweaved with the story of Jimmy, a member of the choir whose love of singing transcends his difficult home life.

As we go between Tubby and Jimmy, their stories collide, and they must somehow find each other.

[George]

"Tubby" turns out to be Jimmy all grown up (not a big surprise). 

[George]

I think it's a delightfully sweet story.  Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton (who starred in "Sweeney Todd" together!) are both very good. 

[George]

There is also a one-hour documentary which has a bit about the original concert, but it's mostly about how the movie got made, which I'm watching right now.

[George]

Here's a picture of the cover:

And now, since we're so close...
