Apparently all dear readers are SOOOOOOO busy.

I've been at my job...jobbing. It's been pretty busy today, so now I get to leave and go home.

I got another tax form today in the mail. How late is that?

John G. · « **Reply #64 on:** February 19, 2019, 08:14:26 PM »

I'm not happy with my tax return this year.

John G. · « **Reply #65 on:** February 19, 2019, 08:14:44 PM »

It's probably half of what I got back last year.

John G. · « **Reply #66 on:** February 19, 2019, 08:15:25 PM »

I'm exhausted and likely to hit the hay soon.

But I started watching Mikey and Nicky, and it's super good, so I just want to continue watching it.

John Cassavettes is magnetic and Peter Falk is Peter Falk. It doesn't get much better than that.

They may not be likable characters, but the movie's really fascinating.

Good night, all.

DR CHAS SMITH as Miss Annette Funicello wrote in her autobiography, she was often chided at night clubs when folks saw her smoking (her brand was Larks)..

"Why, Annette, I didn't think you were a smoker!"
"I also have three children, guess what else I do!"

We had a fun evening with our friend who is with us for 2 nights.

During dinner I knocked over my wine glass and broke it. I think it was the metal plate in my arm that broke the glass stem even before it hit the tabel. Darn, it is a good wine glass. I usecd to have a place to replace the glasses. I dont remember what they are anymore.

That's too bad, Jane.

Good evening.

I was at the church all day. A couple of events to host, plus waiting on a few repairmen, one of whom never showed up.

George · « **Reply #76 on:** February 19, 2019, 11:04:42 PM »

Well, this is pretty cool.

I'm watching an older episode of Antiques Roadshow.

George · « **Reply #78 on:** February 19, 2019, 11:07:10 PM »

It's from just last year, so it's not that old.

George · « **Reply #79 on:** February 19, 2019, 11:07:26 PM »

Anyway, someone brought in a prop from the original The Parent Trap.

George · « **Reply #80 on:** February 19, 2019, 11:08:14 PM »

His mother wanted to make the birdcage that Sharon made at camp.

George · « **Reply #81 on:** February 19, 2019, 11:09:18 PM »

So she wrote to the Disney company asking if there were blueptrints or something like that so that she could make her own.

George · « **Reply #82 on:** February 19, 2019, 11:09:57 PM »

Well, they didn't sent her any blueprints, or even drawings of the birdcage.

George · « **Reply #83 on:** February 19, 2019, 11:10:27 PM »

They sent her the actual birdcage prop that was used in the movie!

George · « **Reply #84 on:** February 19, 2019, 11:12:20 PM »

They also sent a letter describing the prop, so the owner has definite provenance!

George · « **Reply #85 on:** February 19, 2019, 11:12:45 PM »

It was valued between $5,000 and $8,000!

George · « **Reply #86 on:** February 19, 2019, 11:12:52 PM »

George · « **Reply #87 on:** February 19, 2019, 11:13:04 PM »

Who knew??

George · « **Reply #88 on:** February 19, 2019, 11:14:14 PM »
