TOD
I have never been a big Charles Bronson fan. With the exception of one movie I like his performances where he was a supporting player.

I agree.

Adding more perks, some really fun ones.  More coming tomorrow, and then I'll save some to add during the campaign.

I have lots of things to scan and share - I found unbelievable stuff, including a telegram from dear reader Jeanne sent to me in March of 1965 as I was opening The Unsinkable Molly Brown at Bluth Brothers Theatre.  How's THAT for being a packrat?

I'll have two Laverne and Shirley scripts available, as well as a Donny and Marie Show script and perhaps a script from the show Ghost Story (aka Circle of Fear).

We get painted ladies here. I think they are native to pretty much all of the United States.

Manhattan's painted ladies used to hang out on 42nd Street, but not any more

I was right.  Little Sycamore is no longer on the web site, so he must have been adopted today.  I'm happy, but sad.

I have to go to this pet event uptown soon, but I just fell in love with this Siamese mix on Craig's List.

She is a beauty.

It took over two days for MACC to respond to my inquiry about a couple of cats on their site.  One was adopted and little Sycamore is out today on adoption patrol in the Bronx, 10 miles away.  He's so adorable, I'm sure he'll be adopted today.  If I'd known this yesterday, I would have traipsed over and made a desperate bid to adopt him.

He's a beauty, too.

Have just returned from lunch at the Edgefield Pool Room where I dined on two delicious hamburgers and some fries with my mother, my Aunt Doris and childhood friend Joan Timmerman King and her husband Michael.  Lot of their friends were there, as well.   It was a fun lunch time.

How nice that you'll be able to see family and old friends often.

Larry's doing major housecleaning, BK is doing major tossing. Today I did one of the mini projects that I'd hoped Pablo could do, but he didn't have time: I tackled the shower grout. It kept bugging me to look at it, so today I did it. I can only do a little at a time these days. It looks so much better!

I really should get rid of more books, but they're so difficult for me to toss! I would like to do more clearing out before the end of the year.

Here's a question for you, Bruce:

If Bluth Bros theatre were still around today, what, if anything, would you do differently? Do you feel that there's the quality of talent today--along with the work ethic--to do what Don and Fred Bluth did?

Apparently they usually fly very high when they go past this area. I don't recall ever seeing them. But the weather the past few weeks has been so unbelievably hot. We had 1 week of Fall weather and then it has been 80s (which is very abnormal). I didn't get to go see the butterflies today. But will go biking tomorrow.

And speaking of Don Bluth, will you be letting him know about Levi? Are you in touch with him at all?

I don't actually "toss" books. I donate them to one of the local libraries for their book sales. It's easier to get rid of them; they're going on to a new home.

We had a Siamese when I was growing up we named her Fa-ying after the young princess that died  at age 8... I have no idea why   But she was a wonderful cat.  Easily trained. And she "talked" she had cries that sounded exactly like "out" "no" "eat" "mom" and used them appropriately ...

Get rid of books?  I don't understand what that means.

Owning 6 copies of a book because everytime time you see it at a thrift shop or garage sale you remember that you loved it?  Well, yeah, of course.

When I moved here from L.A. in 1989, I had already learned of North Shore Animal League through -- I think -- their advertisements in TV GUIDE, and I'd even made some small contributions from out there.

A year later, after I'd gotten well settled into my apartment and life in general here, I decided it was time for a kitten or two.  I never gave it any thought, I just hopped in the car and drove down to Lawn Guyland and up to Port Washington, and spent an amazing couple of hours at North Shore looking at all the cats that were there that day.  I'd already prepped the jernt with a litter box in anticipation of having success there, and sure enough, I did.  I had no idea what I was in for because I'd never adopted from any place like that, but all went well and that night I had two of the most adorable little girls living with me, who would be wonderful companions for the next 17 and 18 years.

I have many a friend and relatives who found their fur babies there

I do feel that and have been trying to it for over a decade.  But it costs money, one needs a space - I had all the right ideas and one person specifically who saw the original prospectus ripped it off wholesale save for the one thing that actually made it work - he took HIS version of MY plan into the toilet within a year and stiffed hundreds of people.
