And now, I must be off.  I have to print some programs and deliver them to The Midnight Sun for the official opening night of 5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche!  There were 13 people at the preview last night, so hopefully, that's an indicator of good audiences to come!

Be back later!

He declined my offer!  But he did send me a message, too, saying "Oops, is it not worth that?  I may have made a mistake."  I replied that I can buy a copy for four bucks on Amazon.

I respect that he asked.

I love sandwiches like the California Melt BK describes.

Does anyone remember The Good Earth?  Actually, maybe they're still around.  I was assuming they're not, but we all know what assuming means.  Right, class?

The company I worked for in the early 1980s was in Torrance, and we were in a nice building with our office right above a Good Earth restaurant.  I went in now and then for breakfast or lunch.  As I recall, there was little or no meat on the menu (is that right?), and I don't remember what was on their California Melt or whatever they called it, but I ate that one a lot.  That was only one of many such "melts" over the years, but my memory always goes immediately to that one.

We enjoyed The Good Earth.

The Good Earth, dear reader Jeanne - it closed about four years ago.

There was one in Westwood we would have eaten at if they permitted dogs on the patio

The fan is broken in the AC. The repairs are taking forever because the replacement part the man had didn't fit.

So, does that mean that it's not going to cost more than $10k??  That would be wonderful!

It ended up costing $1,000, which was more than enough, as far as I'm concerned. There is no extra for awhile.

Starting to watch Moontide with Jean Gabin and Ida Lupino. Thomas Mitchell also stars.

With that kind of cast, who needs anything else?

I remember the movie with Luise Rainer. Does that count?

I watched TWO FOR THE ROAD the other evening. I found the movie so-so, but I loved the soundtrack.

Great cast, great score. Wannabe great movie that misses the mark.

CD

The best of Sarah Vaughn

Major disappointment. The songs chosen were too pop sounding. It had chorus that began many of ths songs. Sort of like the arrangements that Jimmy Durante did in the 60's which I like but they don't work for her. Jazz was her forte. I can only assume why these songs were recorded in these arrangements.

Bummer. I love my Sarah Vaughn, but I don't think her albums ever captured all of her brilliance.
