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.

Watching the last 20 minutes of The Last Detail. Great supporting cast. Gilda Radner had a 1-minute scene as a cult member. Carol Kane plays a hooker. Nancy Allen has a short scene as a party girl.

I think Vernal Equinox would be a great name for a cat.

George, did TAO ever do EVIL DEAD; THE MUSICAL?

No, but it was something that we had looked at before. We mainly didn't get a chance to do it because the rights were so expensive compared to other shows. $:-\$

I was thinking about ordering Chinese food for dinner when my neighbors Mark and Judy brought me a plate of their homemade shrimp chow fun. It was deelish!

That was very nice of them.

Vixmom, I thought this story was going to be about you:

I can't read that without paying $1.00.

The kitties' dishes are washed, and I need to fill the water dishes and Thatch's kibble bowl for the night. Then the three of us will settle in to watch Episode Two of the last BBC adaptation of Emma with Romola Garai. We tried watching the 5-hour Ivanhoe with Steven Waddington as the lead, but it was too dark, too murky, and I could not tell one actor from another.

I loved Garai as both Cordelia in Lear and in Daniel Deronda.

Starting to watch Free Solo, which won the Oscar for best documentary. It's fascinating and the photography is gorgeous. But it's a subject in which I have no personal interest in ever attempting, plus I do have a fear of heights, which the movie is working on. So, yes, it's taking me places I would never go, but I'm not making as much of a personal or emotional connection. I thought RGB, Three Identical Strangers and Will You Be My Neighbor were all much more involving.

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.

I think I would enjoy that. We took a nice long walk on the River Walk, way past all of the crowds. I don't recall seeing any missions.

The mission trail starts several miles south of downtown.

She was a wonderful Cordelia, and I like her in one of my favorite movies, I Capture The Castle.

I can see Superm00n up there, but it’s veiled by a thin-ish cloud cover.

The two o'clock lunch didn't happen until four-thirty. Dino's Pizza - amazingly amazing.

I'm going to try, but it's looking very stormy out there. Don't know if the whole sky will be covered.

I don't remember which way we walked. I read that the walk is 15 miles long.

Had a nice Puerto Rican dinner of pernil (roast pork) with arroz con gandules (rice with pigeon peas) and yucca in a garlic sauce. Good stuff.
