TODI have never been a big Charles Bronson fan. With the exception of one movie I like his performances where he was a supporting player.
We get painted ladies here. I think they are native to pretty much all of the United States.
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 have to go to this pet event uptown soon, but I just fell in love with this Siamese mix on Craig's List.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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?
