Very gossipy. Quick read.

I got bored with it. I really liked Lerner's book, The Street Where I Live.

I'm up, I'm up - seven and a half hours of sleep - got up at 10:30, did stuff, had telephonic calls, then went and had a late breakfast, picked up a package, dropped Grant at a tire place (he was getting a new tire), and now I'm home and organizing and getting ready for today's rehearsals.

As ChasSmith knows, on one of those Remember Facebook pages someone posted a great drive down Hollywood Blvd., identifying the year as 1965. I watched it and immediately corrected the year, which was 1966, specifically March of 1966 - I know that because it's very simple to identify when certain movies opened, in this case Madame X. I think he got fooled (the guy who posted) by Thunderball playing at the Chinese, which did come out in 1965 but not until just before Christmas, so in this driving shot it's near the end of its three-month run there.

I very fondly remember seeing THUNDERBALL on Christmas Day, in the late afternoon at the newest theater in town, in Plantation, Florida. IMDb says it opened on the 21st in NYC, 22nd in USA. It was my first time to go to a movie on Christmas, and the excitement for the film was palpable, with full houses every showing. My piano teacher and his wife were coming out of the previous showing. Golden age of movie going, man. I never fail to savor this moment in history when watching the film.

Tuesday afternoon greetings! Rebecca and I met at noon at the public library in Hamilton for the EDUCATED book talk, then went to a new downtown deli for lunch. I am home now trying to gear myself up to go to the grocery. We need everything!

Andrew Davies has adapted Jane Austen’s short, unfinished novel Sanditon for Masterpiece. It’s longer than his adaptation of War and Peace.

Well, this is cool! I just won a free Kindle book from Goodreads.com! They have regular giveaways and for the first time, I won one! It's volume 2 of the 3-volume set: Humans: The Untold Story of Adam and Eve and their Descendants (Volume Two: Mjomba and the Evil Ghost).

George · « **Reply #70 on:** July 10, 2018, 03:21:33 PM »

I, of course, did have to buy the other two.

George · « **Reply #71 on:** July 10, 2018, 03:21:58 PM »

At least those two were each half the cost of the regular price of the one that I got for free!

And certainly, I have no idea if any of the books are any good.

Sorry, DR George, but to me it sounds as bad as the awful Clan of the Cave Bear series. I hope you prove me wrong.

It might be. You never know. Right now, I'm reading the first book in the series, The Expanse, so I need to finish that (and I think something else that's waiting in line) before I can start to read the first book in this new series.

George · « **Reply #77 on:** July 10, 2018, 04:17:07 PM »

And, even if I paid for what might turn out to be poorly written books, I've gotten so many for free from the library that I don't mind paying a little for some not-so-great books once in a while.

My neighbor Mark dropped by to tell me he had finally spoken to the idiot on the fifth floor. The idiot's version is that he went out, got drunk, ordered Chinese food, and became sick so he called his girlfriend, whose apartment he is living while she's staying on Long Island, She called 911, and when the police showed up at his door, he refused to answer, so they broke in, arrested him and took him away in handcuffs. He was released at 4:30am.

Since the cop told me it had to do with suicide, Mark and I think he got drunk, called Lisa and threatened to kill himself. She called 911 and the rest of the story jives.

Either scenario I am having trouble understanding why he was arrested. It seems they would have taken him to the hospital for observation or left him in the apartment.

Mom’s 91st birthday has been ordered. She’s getting chocolate truffles.

Is there a particular brand that she likes?

Was an opinion expressed if she was remembering the truth. Her parents dispute the poor home schooling and use the fact that 3 children of doctorate degrees. Of course they dispute the other stuff with her brother never happened to her.

LOL While I liked Clan of the Cave Bear this does look rather bad to me.

Maybe because he was inside, wouldn't open the door, and they had to break in to find he was a drunk dumbass for simply not speaking to them?
