Friday evening greetings.

Yes, that was the call I was alluding to in the notes.  I've had to sit on it but now it's out.

BK, I’m so sorry to hear about Nick.  Condolences to you, his family, and all who love him...

Nick was very pragmatic about it all and has been for the two years this has been going on.  And I know him well enough to know he would not want people to be sad, but would want them to celebrate his spirit, life, and accomplishments.  I can say now that the new book will be dedicated to him.  He is one of the dedicatees of Rewind.

Had an interesting meeting about a project someone wants me to do - not sure if I want to yet.  I'll read and listen and then decide.

Richard and I went out for lunch again today because we expect to be weather-bound for the next couple of days at least.  Last night the Channel 5 weather guy said he wasn’t sure what form our precipitation would take, but he was SURE there’ll be a lot of it.

Then I picked up some packages - screeners mostly - then came home.  I futzed and finessed for an hour, and then wrote three new pages.  I have less to do today because I'd done two extra last night.  So, about twelve more to go.  In a little while I'll try to do six or seven of the twelve, then I'll take a break.

Tonight the weather guy says we’re in the 6-9 inches of snow range - and that’s after several hours of freezing rain  :P

I just read that Nick Redman has died.  BK, did you know?  This is so sad.
He was one of my closest friends for thirty years.  Yesterday and last night was very difficult.

Oh, no!  I'm so sorry for your loss, BK.  My condolences to you and to his family. :(

BK, thanks for the recommendation to Glory Crampton.  Several years ago, she called me about work, we had a lovely discussion, and then I never heard anything. Liz Callaway did the same thing last spring.

I really liked her in Maury Yeston's Phantom, but had forgotten that she was on several recordings for BK (click on the "Show Compilations" button to see them all).

DR JANE writes: Between 1798 and 1904, the Angkor Wat area was controlled by Siam. The Siam king was so impressed with the Angkor Wat temple that he ordered an exact replica be built on the palace grounds. (That’s what I’m standing near.)



Wow!  Great picture!

I am sure his life will be celebrated but of course it is impossible not to be sad.  You are going to miss him so very much.

On today's ACC kill list, there were three dogs a year old or younger.  I understand the one to be killed is little one year-old Joshua.

Yes,  poor baby Joshua was today's murder victim.

I want to watch YOU so much. But I don't have netflix so I'll have to wait until it comes out on dvd. I didn't love the first book. But the second one was really good. And I love the cast. This series is very popular, especially amongst those in the book world. So many people I know have watched it. :(

Thanks George.  Unfortunately I did not find any keychains that said Angkor Wat or of the Palace.

That's okay, Jane.  Thanks for looking!

I guess I've done between seven and eight pages, and have just started a new chapter.  Now I'll take a break for an hour or two.

Today I saw "Stan and Ollie," which is of course about Laurel and Hardy.  I enjoyed it very much.  The leads (Steve Coogan and John C Reilly) were really great.

I'm having such a crazy annoying time, mainly regarding the former DR Julie,  and the last times this has happened and I brought that mood here, some folks got bothered by it, and that's something I don't want to do.

(although one of those crab-fests  did result in the quirky title "My dead aunt thanks you" so it wasn't all useless bile :)

Crab-fest sounds almost like a clambake.  (an Elvis film reference and a Carousel song reference)

I will celebrate Nick’s life in the near future by listening to him on one of his film commentaries.
