And now, I must take a shower, get dressed, go to Chipotle, then to the movies!

Be back later.

While we did lose the sun for a while, we certainly didn't get any raindrops here in the City of Studio.

Turned on a movie and promptly dozed off.

On George's list, The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones sounds particularly intriguing and high-concept.

50% funded! Miracles, we need a few major miracles and we can go all the way!

I've been watching the 2003 BBC version of Philippa Gregory's The Other Boleyn Girl, which constantly irritates me with Ms Gregory's distortions of the Boleyn family history.

The only thing honest is its ugly portrayal of victims Mary and Anne Boleyn pimped out to Henry VIII by their odious brother, father and uncle for their own advancement at court. Gregory's portrayal of Mary as a virtuous wife when she became Henry's mistress sure doesn't agree with the general facts of the story. There have been a few good moments and a few things that seem historically accurate, but I doubt I will be looking up the Hollywood version with Natalie Portman.

The cast is good, Richard Harris' son Jared makes a good Henry VIII.

TCB, if Independence Day became a Saturday permanently, wouldn't workers somehow lose a vacation day at some point? (I'm not sure, I just suspect it would work out that way.)

Or maybe not.

Sheldon Harnick offers lyric variant for "Sunrise, Sunset" so that it can be performed at same-sex weddings:

That is possible, unless you still made it a 3-day weekend. When Christmas falls on Saturday or Sunday, it is still celbrated on that Saturday or Sunday, but you still receive either Friday off for the Saturday holiday, Monday off for the Sunday holiday.

I don't know. I was just trying to open up the converation. Thanks for reading my post, Fred.

DR JEANNE it could be one of many.....it's too bad Amazon doesn't have sound samples. It might be songbirds by the stream....but that wouldn't sound like an ocean....it's a mystery.

The Workshop was fine.....I couldn't hear the younger kids....but that was okay. The older kids were pretty funny!

MR BK I repeated your "same sex" comment from the notes on my Facebook page and it is getting many laughs, likes, and shares. You should be a comedy writer.

I laughed out loud.

Keith is about to get off the computer and I need to search for a replacement for my special heating pad that died this morning. I was hoping it would last until after the move.

Page three? Really?

The wall of dust is over, but it is still windy. The weather radar shows something big coming this way.

I ordered my heating pad which I know I will need the night we move but I don't dare have it delivered during the craziness that is moving day. It will arrive on the day after.

Jane · « **Reply #83 on:** June 27, 2015, 07:59:29 PM »

It seems there is still life left in my heating pad
