Well, there's something I need to accomplish. Laundering and changing the bed.
Why does it feel like such a daunting prospect today?

Jackie Gleason's widow, Marilyn Taylor Gleason, dies in Fort Lauderdale
https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/obituaries/fl-ne-jackie-gleason-widow-dead-20190403-story.html

Died at age 93. Sister of June Taylor of the June Taylor Dancers. I didn't remember knowing that. But this stuff always fascinated me, what with Gleason having a home not too far from us and the show originating from Miami Beach. It was all such a huge deal there in those days.

TOD:
"A Carol Christmas"
I hadn't heard the music since I saw the show, so it was pretty unfamiliar to me when I started listening to it last weekend - like hearing it for the first time. I was instantly reminded that the songs are upbeat and classically Bruce. Very fun!

I hope DC Nicky is having a pain free day.

T.O.D.

Not sure what we'll watch this weekend.

We have a Bat Mitzvah to attend tomorrow and my son and his lady are coming over for lunch on Sunday.

I want to rent THE MULE, but that might have to wait.

It sounds like a nice weekend.

When we saw A STAR IS BORN, the preview for THE MULE came on....and Clint Eastwood on the BIG SCREEN is pretty scary looking nowadays.....

Vibes for DR VIXMOM's finger.

Is DR KEVIN still in Greece?

Jrand74 · « **Reply #40 on:** April 05, 2019, 08:19:52 AM »

I am doing a wash load of lights.....and maybe I will go all the way and do a load of darks as well.....

I received my CD of Les Enfants Terribles today....I may listen later....THE BOOK did not arrive yet.

I also received a nice movie poster from the film September 30, 1955. It's a nice film by James Bridges that stars Richard Thomas....I have only seen it once, but I liked it a lot. The poster was up for lots of prices up to $39.....but this one was $6.95 and free shipping. Just a few small tears along the folds...

Now I want to see the movie again. I like Richard Thomas in just about everything I have seen him in.

Congrats to MR BK and CO on the rehearsal.

DR CHAS SMITH what will you wear to the cast party?

DR GEORGE....my WORKING CD is the first one on the list you posted.

On the stone ledge this morning examining the bird seed....a beautiful red cardinal!

First post in three and a half hours?

And sorry, but I gotta run. Things to do, places to go, people to see, shows to play. All that good stuff.

That's pretty cool about the poster, Jrand! The same thing just happened to me a couple of weeks ago. Fredric Brown is one of my favorite authors, and I just happened to come across a collection of the first four books in a series of books about a nephew and uncle who are detectives: Hunter and Hunted: The Ed and Am Hunter Novels. I'd never heard of them before. It had a regular print run, and an limited edition autographed-by-the-editors run that included a CD of Fredric Brown himself reading some of his own short stories. The regular non-signed print version without the CD can be had for as little as $25 (the original list price was $29.95), but the limited edition is at least $100 and up! HOWEVER, I just happened to hit eBay at the exact right time and got the signed limited edition with the CD in near mint condition for the princely sum of $19.99+$4 shipping!! It arrived a couple of day ago and it's in perfect condition! I love it when that happens!

I'm up, I'm up - I was up at eight-thirty, fell back asleep at ten-thirty so about six hours of sleep.

Nice score DR GEORGE! That's the way Ebay used to work!

I finished the brass parts, which became more complicated than I realized. I had a moment in which I clearly comprehended my Mother's abusive nature: I had four screens open on my computer - the trombone part I was trying to make sense of, the full score, and the other two trombone parts - and Annabelle wanted dinner, so she kept climbing up onto the computer for my attention, crawling over the keyboard, and being a nuisance. I couldn't accomplish a thing and she was working my last nerve. I could have killed her. Luckily, I am not my mother.

Friday afternoon greetings! Richard and I went to our former church for the First Friday noon concert. Today’s program was “Opera in April,” featuring 4 singers performing favorites. It was especially glorious to hear unamplified voices in a place with great acoustics - which it should have because it was designed by Samuel Hannaford, architect of Cincinnati’s Music Hall.

Picked up packages, had tuna sandwiches for the meal o' the day, and am now listening to music and choosing songs.

At times it is difficult when you can't shut a door. We had one cat that had to be locked out of the kitchen when I cooked, especially when I made spaghetti sauce. Tomatoes were his favorite food and he would stick his entire head into the pot trying to eat it.

It got to the point where I had to feed the 4 cats in 3 separate rooms. First by himself was that piggy cat

Hello, everyone.

Jeanne · « **Reply #55 on:** April 05, 2019, 03:36:43 PM »

I saw my therapist, Erik, today. Erik and I often discuss health care issues as he works on me. He's quite a bit more conservative than I am, but there's a lot of overlap on our views of how things should be done. It's interesting to me to get a different viewpoint and also interesting to see how much we agree on.

I then went to my favorite food store across the street and did some shopping.

Has anyone been watching MRS WILSON on PBS? It's one of those stories of someone leading a double (or triple) life. I find these stories quite interesting.

The building I live in has been going through an earthquake retrofit for the past month. First, they removed large sections of stucco, then reinforced the studs, added bolts to tie the framing to the foundation, and tied the studs together with metal anchors. It's been interesting to watch. They're now restuccoing. There should now be less building movement during an earthquake.
