DR TCB I think that if you like hamburgers or cheeseburgers in general you should try a WHOPPER.

You can get any number of toppings or NONE and ALL....it is BIG and can be messy.....but it is a real burger.  I always have mine with lettuce, mayo, tomato, cheese, onion, and pickles....

Sometimes I get the DOUBLE WHOPPER - but I really have to be hungry to eat that!

The new print files JUST went to the printers - obviously I won't have the books for Sunday because I've been told the print files were going Monday, then Tuesday, and if I hadn't JUST gone off on the person who's been stringing me along, I don't think they would have gone off today.  And of course, no one calls me, including my gal.

You can drive along the river from mission to mission on bicycle. It’s about 10 miles total from the first mission to the fourth. But i think we’re going by car.

Can you walk it?  I would enjoy that.

Yes, you can. There is a special bike/hike trail. And they’ve extended the River Walk to go past each of them, I am told. I haven’t done all of the missions in one day like this for more than 10 years.

My question for ASK BK DAY - Do you have a favorite among the Golden Age of Broadway newspaper reviewers?

I must say, I haven't read a lot of the Golden Age critics, but Walter Kerr, whether one agrees or not, was a good writer.

Agreed. His writing holds up today.

Favorite line in the phone session about the print files was: "Do you know what VIP author means?  Do you know what VIP means?  Right now it means Very Irritable Prick."  Unfortunately, I think that went right over her head, being a Filipino.

I am home from my meeting with Joshie and Rob Berman about recording cuts.  We begin on Monday morning at 9:00, and the recording will be on Ghostlight.

When I met him, I thought Martin Gottfried was a total ass, but in the 1970s his A Theatre Divided and Opening Nights: Theater Criticism of the Sixties were two of my bibles.  They're still a lot of fun to read.

Well, the pains I had yesterday morning in my lower left back are back.  Bt noon yesterday they had eased up, and by late afternoon they were gone.  I got this morning around 4:00am and I felt fine.  At 6:45 I could barely move, so I think it's a pinched nerve.  I don't like it.

DR JOHN G thanks for the Carol Burnett report.  Her Lucy story reminded me of this:

On the first day that Lucy drove onto the RKO lot, now named Desilu Gower....the guard was very flustered to see her.  He was not sure if he should call her Mrs. Arnaz or Miss Ball....so he fumfered a bit and then came out with:  "Good morning, Mrs. Arballs."

I should be fine once I get out of the shower.
Which, of course, requires me to first get into the shower.

Funny how that works. ;)

I get the regular single patty, but extra everything else...lettuce, mayo, tomato, cheese, onion, and pickles (which is what normally comes on it).  It's practically a salad, which means that it's healthy!

Shrimp!!!

HA!  That always reminds me of Cloris Leachman at Rhoda's wedding reception....of course everything was going wrong (Phyllis forgot to pick up Rhoda: "You know how long it takes to properly coordinate your accessories....") and she offered the appetizer tray to a midget and said: "Shrimp?"

I remember that Shrimp scene on "Phyllis" as if it were yesterday. One of the funniest moments in all of television history, IMO.
