Didn't you have a book agent to represent your works to the studios for movies and TV? Or did I dream that?

Good evening!

Watching "The Matchmaker, " which I recorded this morning. It's interesting comparing it to Hello Dolly.

Vibes for Vixmom, TCB, Kerry and anyone else in need.

From me too!

Matilda wasn't the best thing I ever saw, but I remember being very impressed with the young girl who played the title role. And Christopher Sieber was hilarious as Miss Trumbull (not sure of the spelling).

Congrats on the many orders for your book, BK!

DR Sandra just texted me that Wae-Ling is very excited about seeing Matilda. It starts in a few minutes.

She tried guessing what the surprise was all the way there. She asked if we were going to a college, and I said yes. She asked very excitedly: "Are we going to a lecture???"

What a great kid!

It's in the 80s here today, with the sun shining. In other neighborhoods, I saw the first crepe myrtles in bloom. For those who don't know it, this is a tree that gets covered every spring with purple blossoms that smell deeply of grape Kool-Aid.

And I also saw a red bud tree covered with those beautiful magenta buds.

It sounds lovely. It is 50 degrees here and the sun is shining. I am happy.

At one time I had an agent helping, but it never amounted to anything. I've certainly had interest in the Adriana books but that hasn't gone anywhere either.

Saturday evening greetings! Richard and I took several bags of books to the AAUW sale site and then bought tickets for an early afternoon showing of LA LA LAND. We killed an hour or so at Barnes & Noble before showtime. The movie was not what I expected, but we enjoyed it. We then went for a late lunch/early dinner at Bravo Italian Cucina and to Kroger for some groceries. It was a beautiful day to be out and away from our torn up bathroom.

This may be the book that goes!

She thought they were going to see a lecture about the future of education in today's political climate.

Laura · « **Reply #103 on:** February 11, 2017, 05:22:52 PM »

It wasn't until Sandra pulled out the tickets that she knew she was going to see the show.

I am doing laundry and baking a sour cream bundt cake with a cinnamon swirl in the center.

I miss Sandra.

Just spent three hours finishing the commissioned song. The music kind of came first for this one and I boxed myself into constant triple rhymes - I love doing them but they're very hard - the first two are easy, it's always the damn third that fouls you up.

Page four? Really?

I hope everyone enjoyed Matilda. One of these days, I'll watch the bootleg I have of the Broadway production.

Had a wonderful dinner with friends at the San Antonio Country Club, not a place I frequent. But my friend Gail is a member and there was a wonderful singer tonight, so I was glad to go. The band backing the singer was also very good, and I got in so fun dancing, which I don't get to do often.

Dessert was one of my favorites: peppermint ice cream with a chocolate brickle sauce that you pour over it and it hardens.

All of which means I got jack done on my resume today.

John G. · « **Reply #115 on:** February 11, 2017, 08:36:40 PM »

And tomorrow I'm judging the chili cookoff at church and going out to dinner with friends. So I have only a few hours to get my act together. Maybe the deadline pressure will help.

John G. · « **Reply #116 on:** February 11, 2017, 08:36:57 PM »

I should get started on it now.

John G. · « **Reply #117 on:** February 11, 2017, 08:37:20 PM »

But not while we're still on page four.
