Interesting, and Skip tells me that Armie Hammer's co-star in "Call Me By Your Name," grew up right here on our block in the other building of Manhattan Plaza.

Wondering if he'll overtake the amazing Alicia Keys (who grew up in our building) as the most famous person to have been raised in Manhattan Plaza.

Reading is GOOD.

Page four is BAD.

Where in tarnation IS everyone? I wasn't aware we had a lot of Stupid Bowl people here?

I've been going through the new copy of the book and have already made several changes, running them by Muse Margaret first. She brought something up that was so right and something that hadn't occurred to us before, so I wrote that change right away and will read it to her tomorrow - it's just two sentences but boy does it make all the difference in the world. I made a couple of other small deletions and added a couple of lines of dialogue. When I'm finished doing all that tomorrow, I'll make sure the proofers get those changes to proof.

If I ever get to meet Armie, I'd like to tell him about the day his great-grandfather gave me and a couple of other reporters a private tour of his art collection, which he was loaning to the University of Kentucky for exhibition. Both Hammer and his wife were as nice as can be, and he was certainly proud of that collection. Someone had told him that no one would create a private art collection really worth anything, and he took it as a personal challenge to prove that person wrong.

Of course that was back before Armie was even born. I don't think he ever got to meet his great-grandfather.

Nice story.

Hmmmm, IMBD, says they grew up in Hall's Kitchen. I didn't realize this was your neighborhood.

Took a hot shower, and came up with one more little addition that has to do with the comment Muse Margaret made - I think in certain ways it's the best comment she made because the tiny additions I've done because of it really are helpful and they help smooth out what I've always felt were a couple of awkward transitions to new sequences.

Page FOUR? Really?

Listening to beautiful music by Gerald Finzi, a wonderful English composer.

This from wiki on Armie Hammer: "Hammer's paternal great-grandfather was oil tycoon and philanthropist Armand Hammer."

So is that Armand Hammer related to the baking soda?

I don't think his family has anything to do with the "Arm and Hammer" company or their products.

That's a great story, John!

I'm home.

When I finally got to my parents' house, they all were finishing up a game of Scrabble.

I ate (my mom made me some tilapia) and then we played Phase 10. I came in third.

Good evening.

Hi, George.

TCB · « **Reply #109 on:** February 04, 2018, 11:47:34 PM »

Where is was everybody today?

TCB · « **Reply #110 on:** February 04, 2018, 11:48:25 PM »

It was a great Super Bowl!

TCB · « **Reply #111 on:** February 04, 2018, 11:49:12 PM »

Especially because The Eagles beat The Patriots.

TCB · « **Reply #112 on:** February 04, 2018, 11:49:56 PM »

But the whole game was exciting.

TCB · « **Reply #113 on:** February 04, 2018, 11:50:28 PM »

I think the final score was 41 to 33.

TCB · « **Reply #114 on:** February 04, 2018, 11:51:11 PM »

Anyway, whatever the score, The Eagles won by 8 points.

The Christmas lasagna is still in the frig - unbaked.

Hi, Tom.

TCB · « **Reply #117 on:** February 04, 2018, 11:53:52 PM »

I pulled it from the freezer yesterday, as planned, but when it came time to eat today, I completely forgot about it.

TCB · « **Reply #118 on:** February 04, 2018, 11:54:27 PM »

Oh well, I will bake it tomorrow.
