Last night, with only 3 chapters left in my book to read I fell asleep shortly after my last post.  I slept almost 8 hours 

[Jane]

I finished the book this morning.

Continued vibes for Annabelle and Thatch and DR ELMORE.

[Jrand74]

I like some Shakespearean movies....especially the versions of HENRY V and RICHARD THE THIRD.....but most of them don't keep my interest.....THE TAMING OF THE SHREW is very funny....in most versions.....

[John G.]

I finished the book this morning.

What was it? Anything good?

[John G.]

I’m up again. Ushering for The Nutcracker this afternoon

[elmore3003]

I have finally finished all my chores.  Except I still have had no breakfast.

[elmore3003]

Thatch becomes braver and I do believe he's spending more time today outside the cage.

Just finished a 48 minute Skype video call with the actor in the UK who played Errol Flynn my audio edition of FLYNN.

Nice guy.  Has a theatrical company there.  Hopefully, we can do another audio project together soon.

[Jane]

I finished the book this morning.

The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See.  Not a 5 star book but I enjoyed it very much.  I am not sure if it is the sort you usually read.  You can tell by the blurb if it interests you.  Most of the books on China I have read were before or during, or just after the revolution.   The book begins in a remote village basically unaffected by the rest of the changes in the country.

[Jane]

DR Druxy I hope there is a future project with the actor.

This morning, a British Facebook friend sent me the mp3 files for the 1968 British flop musical The Young Visiters, which is really a marvelous score.  It's very Upstairs Downstairs and extremely melodic.  It reminds me of the wonderful score for Robert and Elizabeth, which had the same orchestrator and conductor, the fantastic Alexander Faris.

I started watching a film version of Othello last night with Laurence Olivier in blackface and what I guess he thought was blackvoice. Maggie Smith is Desdemona and Derek Jacobi is in the cast.

Sir Larry was a great Shakespearean actor and box office draw, and no one thought it peculiar or "racist" that he would don blackface to play Othello.  Now it would be a scandalous move to cast a white British actor to play The Moor.
It was still a great production of Othello.

[Jane]

In high school I remember seeing James Earl Jones in a filmed production of his stage performance.  On returning home, raving about this actor, my father told me it could not compare to Laurence Olivier's performance which my father had seen.  Of course we argued how a white actor could play a black person

[Jane]

Bruce I have no idea why Hamilton people recall David Cassidy as going there.  I did find he graduated from Rexford High.  I wish you could ask him

Finally, someone else who knew him and said he left in 12th grade.

[Jane]

I am packing as best as I can.  Keith, who is extremely organized, is a brilliant packer while I struggle with it.  I admit, I also take less time packing than he does.

I'm up, I'm up - been up for about an hour and trying to get current with e-mails.  I think I got nine hours of sleep, and in about fifteen minutes I think I'll go jog, then rustle up some Wacky Noodles.

[Laura]

Elmore, I think it sounds like Annabelle is on the mend. Remember how she wouldn't eat anything last week?

[Laura]

All the squash casserole was eaten.

[Laura]

That's a pretty nice out-of-context quote.

We kicked one of the assistants out of Sunday School today.

She is having surgery to replace her knee in 9 days, and we didn't want her near the children. She was scheduled for October but caught a cold and had to be rescheduled. We were afraid she'd get sick again.

Children, although very sweet and wonderful, are full of germs.

She's still sneezing an awful lot.  I'm more worried that the Erythromycin hasn't cleared up her conjunctivitis.  When I take Thatch in - and I think he has it, too - I may ask the vet for another prescription for her as well.

[elmore3003]

I'm happy that Thatch is getting more curious about the world beyond the cage.

Good for you.  She should have done this to begin with.

[Jane]

I am basically done packing.  Now I can spend the rest of the week cleaning.

I Am Basically Done Packing - that's the title of my next novel.

As was the case with last year, I'm really not sure what I want to write in 2018.  Thrill Ride came to me very late in the year, mid-December, so hopefully that will be the case.  I do have another Adriana Hofstetter book story that I can do - have had that for some time but I do enjoy going to new territory so we'll see what transpires.

Back from trying route number two for jogging - didn't care for it at all, so it will be route number one or variations thereof.  And I realized that I'm doing closer to three miles than two-and-a-half.

I jogged by my old 1975 house (first house I purchased) - the mofos who bought it at some point completely made it much bigger but totally wacko.  The original front of the house is now closed off and the entrance is on the other street (it was a corner house), entrance being where the garage was.  They got rid of the garage in total and built to what was the end of it, which means there is literally no backyard in the house.  And it's butt ugly on top of it.
