I have just indulged in the purchase of a first row balcony seat for the March 24th matinee of Grand Hotel at City Center. Orchestra and Grand Tier are both completely sold out. Are any othe DRs planning to attend this performance?

I'll be around. Can we step out for a nosh after? The orchestra reading is this Tuesday and I have yo miss the morning session because of another epidural.

I would love that. I can make reservations for us at Lily's if you'd like.

I[m perfectly happy to step down to the coffee shop on Sixth Avenue where we went after THE NEW YORKERS, but I'll let you decide.

Have you ever been to Lily's? I know you missed our New Yorkers brunch. The prices are comparable and it's really beautiful

If we're talking coffee shops, I and my cohorts are partial to the one down the block in the opposite direction, at the corner of the Wellington Hotel. Lily's is wonderful, but I'm also thinking in terms of not straying so far in the opposite direction from Grand Central, because we're taking the train in that day.

I just made my own Vegetarian Burger*, and it was delicious.

*93% lean instead of my usual 85%, so less animal in this one.

The few Sizzlers I ate at would almost certainly have been in the Hollywood and west-of-Hollywood regions. I'm thinking West L.A. and perhaps one out in Venice. Maybe I'll try to find a list of all the locations that ever were.

I've been working on Annabelle-Thatch diaries. Midsomer Murders returns to PBS at 8:00 tonight, and I am ready for it.

Oh, by the way, the next day the document was in my email and guess what....it didn't say what he said it said....

Keith said we ate at Sizzler's. I remember something like it with a different name, not that my memory is good about this. I know I didn't go with my parent's. Keith mentioned the salad bar.

Last time I had jury duty, Kerry had it too. We had lunch together that day.

It's terrible he's not here to share lunch with you again

I will go with the majority vote

My family never lived where there were Sizzlers, but we were a Ponderosa and Bonanza bunch way back when. I was going to say those were an occasional Sunday thing, but most of the Sunday things, if we went out, were the cafeterias.

I just listened to some of the Eileen Rodgers & Hal Linden Anything Goes cast album, and the Mary Martin one. How totally strange these arrangements seem now, once one has crash-learned and binged on the Beaumont version.

Watched two motion pictures so far, one of them quite good.

Our internet was down for a bit. Keith finally found the source, Xfinity was down for about 20 minutes.

My favorite Mitchum film is Rachel and the Stranger, but then I love the movie.

I completely disliked him in The Winds of War and had been lukewarm on him since The Grass is Greener.

vixmom · « **Reply #173 on:** February 24, 2018, 07:05:12 PM »

I can't think of any Robert Mitchum movies

Wait no longer, DR ChasSmith! The play was performed without an intermission, so we were home before 10. Gracie’s was delightful and the food was very good. Richard had the pork chop and I had a Caesar salad topped with 2 slabs of grilled salmon. We shared a bottle of Reisling and the apple crisp for our free dessert.

Saturday afternoon greetings! It's another rainy day here in SW Ohio, but Richard and I have a date tonight. We're going to dinner at Gracie's and then to see Middletown Lyric Theatre's "My Name is Asher Lev."

If it's the play version by Aaron Posner, I'd seen that at the Arden Theater in Philadelphia. Really excellent telling of the story.

It is, indeed, Aaron Posner’s version and MLT did a good job with it. Richard thought it was very true to the book.

Yeah, but Eileen Rodgers gives that recording a life that is just irresistible.

Watching the beginning of Limelight. I have never seen it before. Chaplin is intriguing.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #179 on:** February 24, 2018, 09:41:12 PM »

I could always watch Mitchum in absolutely anything, but favorites would include:

THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER
FAREWELL, MY LOVELY
CAPE FEAR
THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE
and probably RYAN'S DAUGHTER -- if I ever got around to watching it (!)

Also, I always regretted having never watched THE WINDS OF WAR and WAR AND REMEMBRANCE when the rest of the world was tuned in.
