You're right, George. Rosemary Clooney hated Come On'A My House when she first heard it. I got to interview her five times back in college. Saw her twice. A real pro and a lovely person.

I am just catching up on some posts and was reading about DR Vixmom's neighbors having their own fireworks. This is something that I cannot even imagine. Here people are not allowed to do their own fireworks. And I am very happy about that. It would be so noisy, but mainly it sounds super dangerous. Here when the cities do fireworks you are not even allowed anywhere near where they are setting them off.

Big disappointment:

Checking my book sales on Kindle yesterday, I noticed that $129.00 in royalties was owed to me from Japan.

That was interesting, since, as far as I could recall, I'd never sold any books before in Japan. Could this be an accumulation of several years of previously unreported sales?

Unfortunately, no.

The 129.00 was in Yen, which amounts to somewhere around $1.17 in USD.

Well, at least you didn't owe them money!

My right hip is really hurting today. That is the one that has NOT been replaced. Nor will it ever be replaced. I will suffer instead.

I couldn't figure out why I couldn't remember what the topic of the day was, but soon realized that I didn't stay awake last night for the new notes. Duh!

T.O.D.

I did nothing constructive yesterday. I got up, played on the computer, and then watched football. And watched football. And watched football. Last night, all the shows I watch were still showing reruns, so that was the end of my day.

Sometime late last evening I posted about other men's underwear! And a good time was had by all.

This morning I have sneezed nine times in the last ten minutes. I hope that it is just dust, and not the start of something big.

How lucky you are, John, to have interviewed Miss Clooney I loved her, and would have truly enjoyed meeting her.

TCB · « **Reply #42 on:** January 02, 2019, 09:48:54 AM »

And I am sure that she would have felt the same way about meeting me.

TCB · « **Reply #43 on:** January 02, 2019, 09:49:18 AM »

Sorry! The sneezing has literally gone to my head.

They are illegal here but they are not illegal in several states just south of us, people drive south , buy fireworks and bring them back here

I got a few ideas just after I got into bed so I had to get up and write them down.

It's very big here, even if the sales are illegal in San Antonio. One step over the county line in at least eight different directions and you'll see fireworks shacks ready for New Year's, Christmas, Fiesta and the Fourth of July.

A Rosemary Clooney side story: I remember seeing her on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and he commented on how well she enunciated when she sang, that you could understand every word that she sang. I remembered that and most of my singing training was in choirs when you really had to enunciate, too, so I learned how to enunciate when singing and that carried over into my acting. I've always tried to be deliberate (but not obvious) when I sing and act with my enunciating (unlike some friends who just speed through their dialog and don't think about if they'll actually be understood). Anyway, during one of the vocal warm-ups for A Christmas Story last month, the music director commented on how well I enunciate when I sing!
