Page Two Merv Griffin Dance.

I liked Merv Griffin because he always let his guests be the star of the show. He acted interested....and was a genial host who asked good questions.

Most of the others were so intent on being "funny" or "edgy" or "off color" that they forgot we were watching for the guests!

I also liked the Merv Griffin story that MR BK wrote about here a few years ago.

Merv Griffin had the best interview ever with Carroll Baker a few years after she left Hollywood - he let her tell her side of everything that had gone on. She was very funny and finally said...."It's too bad YOU weren't running the studio - you listen!"

You are welcome DR MICHAEL - I hope you have a great show!

Thanks for the warm weather vibes. I think it will warm up starting tomorrow. It is still freezing today. But I believe next weekend will be very warm. Crazy weather.

That Downton Abbey exhibit sounds great!

Monday morning greetings! So, Richard and I got up early, he cleaned off and emptied my car, and we went to the book sale storage facility to provide cargo space for the move into our 2018 venue. We sat for about half an hour, watching it snow, waiting for the “muscle” to load up our vehicle. Finally we were told we weren’t needed, so we proceeded downtown to the venue to verify and then did a couple of errands and came home.

We are now home to ride out the snowstorm and I have the cat in my lap.

TOD

Merv Griffin (no relation, unfortunately)

He could be smarmy. I still remember his wanting to see men’s suit coat linings, for some odd reason. “Ooh, Show us your lining,” he’d coo.

But perhaps because he didn’t get the top guests, he’d get better guests. And, as JRand said, he’d listen to them.

Letterman is wonderful. Carson was about Carson, and that’s okay.

Sorry to hear that, DR John G.

Carson being about Carson was okay because the whole chemistry of the show and the interaction with the guests was always top notch.

Merv Griffin, absolutely.

Also Mike Douglas, who I actually remember less than I do Griffin, but I know we liked watching him regularly back in the day.

Letterman, absolutely.

And one of my favorites, who I learned to appreciate way late in the game: Tom Snyder.

I am pleased to announce the publication of my latest one-woman stage play, IDA: The Last Lupino, which is available in both paperback and Kindle editions via Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1983499994/ref=sr_1_1…

Unlike all my other one-person stage plays, Ida Lupino was a actress that I knew. I met her and her then-husband, Howard Duff, when I was 14-years old and kept in contact with them both, off-and-on, for the remainder of their lives.

I’m quite proud of this one, my 10th one-person play.

Performance rights are available. Please contact me for details.

She is one of my all-time favorites. Look forward to this.

I liked the guests Mike Douglas had (I remember the cast of Bubbling Brown Sugar and both Chita and Gwen during their Chicago days.)But I never liked his sideburns.

FEEL-BETTER-PRONTO VIBES to DR ELMORE!

George · « **Reply #57 on:** January 15, 2018, 12:16:33 PM »

Well, I got up and out of bed this morning in time to meet my niece to help her take two of her cats to the vet, but I couldn't remember if I was supposed to meet her at her house or at the vet's, so I went to her house, but my niece wasn't there because she had actually left five minutes earlier and took her cats to the vet's by herself, and it turns out that she didn't need my help even if I had gotten to the vet's in time, so I wasn't even needed and didn't need to get up too damned early on a day off!

Jane · « **Reply #58 on:** January 15, 2018, 12:16:52 PM »

Many times I have taken four cats to the vet all by myself. Yes, I preferred it if I could time the visits so the boys could go with me or Keith, but usually it was just me.

DR George tell your sister/niece to ask for assistance at the office and they should help her take the crates in and back out to her car.
