I heard last night that a friend had been taken off life support and then this morning that she had passed away. Ruthy was more of a friend of friends (we knew a lot of the same people), but she was always a great storyteller and fun to be with.

After lunch, I called a mutual friend to express my sympathies and she hadn’t heard the news. She did tell me that Ruthy had gone into the hospital a few weeks ago for heart tests. While there she developed pneumonia, which must have proven fatal.

I'm so sorry, John.  My condolences to you and to her family.

Thank you, George. Her mother, who is in her 90s , was expected to go first. You just never know.

Ruthy was an attorney and she was a lot like a young Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

I am home from barber and City Center.  Annabelle got a new Amazon carton today, and she's already moved in and moved Thatch out.

Happy anniversary!

Speaking of friends, I just had a Facebook message from a high school friend.  Chris and I lost touch around 1992 and I feared she was mad at me about something.  Her message is about how much she's looking forward to reconnecting at our 50th reunion Friday evening.  Makes my day!
Very nice 😊  Have a great 50th reunion.

Criterion is releasing a complete Ingmar Bergman box set in November. I have more than half, many of which I haven’t opened. I guess friends are getting Bergman for Christmas.

Had a chili, cheese, and onion hot dog for the meal o' the day, picked up a package, and then did all the first grunt work setting up the Indiegogo campaign - now have to add the perks.  Then when the video is done I'll add that, and then we'll be close and I think we'll launch next Monday.  There will be some fun goodies.

Time to head to the theater.  I need to go to the silver store first to get a larger ring for the actor playing Emmett.  I'm sure I can just exchange what I got yesterday and pay the difference. 

Be back later.

My boss is still trying to get her superiors to understand what our team does, so we had to do a lot of busy work today that was really rather exhausting. I hope it works.

So, I'm back to Women in Love, and well, it's just very Ken Russell. He seems more interested in Alan Bates nude than in the women in love. And Bates seems happy to oblige.

There's an intriguing extra on this Criterion set: A British Picture: Portrait of an Enfant Terrible, Russell's own autobiopic.

There's a new musical on Amazon called The Sisters Plotz. Charming title.
