I'm wondering if they had em-dashes in Marcel Proust's day.

I guess I could pick up my next volume (famous last words) and find out. Although, how would I know if they were put there by the translators in the course of reconstructing and clarifying those two-page long sentences?

The book with more em-dashes than any other I remember is Zuleika Dobson.

Zuleika Dobson, one of Ethan Mordden's favorite books. I never got it. There was a flop British musical in the late 1950s or early 1960s.

I never got it, either -- except -- maybe -- as a spoof of the Liza of Lambeth type of book --which was also turned into a flop Brit musical.

Perhaps one of you dream expert wags can explain to me what Uma Thurman was doing in my dream in what appeared to me to be my parents' bed. I haven't seen her name, thought about her, or seen her in a movie in ages.

Friday afternoon greetings! Yesterday was an eventful bathroom remodeling day that did not end well. On the upside, the shower is almost complete. But, we learned late in the afternoon that the flooring had not been ordered and, thus, would not be installed today. They agreed to come back today to reseat the toilet (on the subfloor) so that we have a functioning bathroom for the weekend. Andy, the site supervisor was here this morning to apologize and to tell us that our project was the main agenda item during today's sales meeting.

Did anybody watch the opening episode of DOUBT the other night?

I liked it, but I thought the background music was way overdone. Indeed, it was so intrusive that, at moments, we had trouble hearing the dialogue.

I recorded it, but I haven't watched it, yet. Maybe sometime this three-day weekend.

Have a great time, Fred!

MR BK the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream indicates that are considering a change in a relationship with someone close to you OR said relationship has already moved to another level - that the person in the bed is Uma Thurman also indicates that you have recently come in contact with or have come to believe that certain people have achieved their current fame or notoriety without the benefit of real talent, but instead through family or money connections....

So now the world is talking about DR GINNY's toilet and having meetings about it.....that makes it even more of an event than DR GEORGE's toilet seat.

With all this toilet talk, there was a strange story in my morning listening to Fannie Flagg's The Whole Town's Talking. One woman knew she would always die funny. And she does. The toilet that her husband had repaired by a cheapskate plumber explodes when she flushes it. Her head shot through the ceiling, which killed her instantly.

Back from entering fixes and reformatting the way the chapter headings and titles are, which looks great. I'll be giving it one final once-over later tonight and tomorrow - we did miss one bad break because we were fixing something else on the page and missed it before moving on. I'm hoping that may be it.

DR JOHN G a local dentist in my area was having trouble with his plumbing and couldn't get anybody to fix it correctly. Finally he got mad and dropped a small explosive in the septic tank.

Unfortunately for her, his wife was sitting on the convenience. The explosive blew the contents of the septic tank into the house - knocked the wife off the commode and coated her and the bathroom walls with the contents. She divorced him shortly after the event.

Well, I just received several items in the mail:

* the Region 0, PAL DVD to the TV musical version of Studs Turkel's Working (I could've gotten it for a little less on Amazon.com, but I didn't think about searching other places at the time $:-\$ )

* the original German cast recording of Children of Eden, in German

* the limited edition (1500 units), expanded original soundtrack to Tom Sawyer, with songs by the Sherman Brothers (it was and is on sale for only $7.95!)

* the deluxe edition soundtrack to Victor/Victoria
