Starting a movie might help you nap.

(At least i find that for myself at my age.)

Fred, excellent idea. Watched another Barbara Stanwyck, with Joan Blondell and Dan Duryea. Scary episode called Sign of the Zodiac. Lots of fun.

Elmore, some discount disc site is offering an Evans Haile recording of Herbert’s Orange Blossoms. Any good?

Jane, the pizza was great. I went to my favorite New York-style place. Thin crust, bright sauce, tangy artichoke slivers and salty anchovies, steaming hot from the oven — all I wanted it to be.

I ate the whole medium pie.

My memory is that it claims to be Herbert's orchestration, but there's no piano in the original. The orchestra is reduced and the conductor tops it all with this flashy busy piano work á la Liberace. There's a bit of bad acting as well from the cast.

Except for the anchovies it sounds delicious.

Sunday morning greetings! 3/4 of our household is at church and I'm enjoying the solitude. I am showered and dressed and ready to organize the grocery trip that I didn't take yesterday because of the rain. Just glad it wasn't colder or we'd be snowed in today...

Thatch is medicated, and I gave him a treat after. I have no idea if this chicken flavoring cuts the taste of the medicine at all so he will get a treat every day after we play doctor.

That sounds different, and good. I'd like to try it at Pepe's (Connecticut/New Haven style). I don't know of any place around here that offers artichokes, but I'll remember that.

New Haven had great pizza. We often order artichokes on our pizza. I would be surprised if you can't find it.

Hi DR Michael.

I have been looking to get a new dog. I have been narrowing it down to Bichon Frise, Havanese, Havapoo and Petit Goldendoodle. Although the last one I am not sure of because it is a crossbreed of three different dogs and have to do more research on it.

Robot for Sale

A father buys a lie detector robot that slaps people when they lie.
He decides to test it out at dinner one night.
The father asks his son what he did that afternoon.
The son says, "I did some schoolwork."
The robot slaps the son.
The son says, "Ok, Ok. I was at a friend's house watching movies."
Dad asks, "What movie did you watch ?"
Son says, "Toy Story."
The robot slaps the son.
Son says, "Ok, Ok, we were watching porn."
Dad says, "What ? At your age I didn't even know what porn was."
The robot slaps the father.
Mom laughs and says, "Well, he certainly is your son."
The robot slaps the mother.

For now it might be slightly better here, not much though.

I do believe that I - Jrand67 - have solved 2/3rds of the mystery of the title of MR BK's new book.

Deduced by:

"....never been a BOOK by this title before....."

We have been asked for:

"....our favorite songs of the 1940's and Big Bands...."

"....does anyone know anyone at.....[publishing houses]....."

I think it's title is also the title or part of the title of a big band song....

That is the 1/3 I have NOT figured out yet.

Learning the score from a third-rate recording versus not learning the score at all?
