Well, you've read the notes, the notes were both long and short but mostly long, and now it is time for you to post until the long and short cows come home.

My DH bought a turkey a few days ago. There was no room for it in the freezer, so I am going to cook it today.

If only there was a Dear Reader who lived in Phoenix who could come help eat it.

Congrats to TCB reaching a significant plateau!  I did this on my tablet, so the size is off, but it's worth it...here it is:

I memory serves me the final scene cut from The Shining is Barry Nelson visiting Shelly Duvall in the hospital and telling her they could not find the body of Jack Nicholson. He also gives Danny a tennis ball. That what I remember. I saw it opening day in Canada and the scene was still there and when I went back it was gone. I complained and was told as the story goes cut from the film.

Did you ever see the TV version of The Shining written and produced by Stephen King?

I slept late, and I've spent the last hour answering emails.  I remember none of my dreams now.

Today, I will do little.  I may not even leave the apartment. I will work on this choral commission.  I'd like to finish it by Monday, so I can ask Joshie to scan it on Tuesday.

Great about your new car, TCB! Did you name him/her?

My car is named Laverne. The pickup truck is named Hank. The camping trailer is Darlene.

I sent my Halloween pieces to British conductor John Wilson, who sent me back a photo and question "Is this the house?"

I don't know where he found the photo, but it is my grandmother's haunted house at 711 Tenth Avenue, Middletown, Ohio.  I had forgotten that little step from the path to the door to the sidewalk. The Schuberts lived in the larger house to the left, and then Tenth Avenue merged with Main Street, which led to the shopping district.

The building was long and barrow.  The door on the porch opened onto a dining room, and a long kitchen was in the back to the left. The living room had the two front windows.  My Aunt Dorothy's piano was there. The window above the porch is my grandmother's room. The two windows in front are from the room my uncles, who were still in high school, shared and my Aunt Dorothy's.  My parents and I had a room at the side of the house next to the Schubert house.

I have never been a big Kibrick or Nicholson fan.

I like CHINATOWN for Nicholson.  SPARTACUS, PATHS OF GLORY and THE KILLING for Kubrick.

JB had an emergency this morning. I mistakenly cut a blood feather. And bleed he did.

I have never watched THE SHINING because Shelley Duvall gets on my last nerve.

Michael Shayne, I said in the notes what the penultimate scene was - it was in the hospital, not with Barry Nelson but with Anne Jackson, who'd had one previous scene at the beginning of the film.

I watched about half of The Shining TV remake and finally had to shut it off - a horrible thing with no style, and I really didn't like the leading man, the guy from Wings.
