Back from a brisk two-and-a-half mile walk, which was lovely until the very end. I was on Woodman, crossing the street to then go west for the final two blocks. I left the crosswalk just before the halfway point because the sidewalk is almost non-existent at the corner. As I do, this car comes roaring and turning right and if I don't move fast I'm dead. So, I yelled "Slow down, jerk!" Jerk slams on his breaks because jerks like to double down on their jerkiness, rolls down the passenger window, flips me off and yells, "You wen't in the crosswalk!" I got my phone out, then said, "Listen, a-hole (I said the whole word, of course), had I been in the crosswalk I'd be under the wheels of your car right now. This isn't the freeway, it's a family neighborhood, where people walk with their kids and pets and you don't need to speed here." He started yelling again and I told him I was calling the cops - I walked around to the rear of his car to snap his license - and what does Mr. Jerk do? Guns his car and speeds off before I can get the plate.

Most charming.

I love this comment from the Moulin Rouge review in the Guardian:

About that duke: (Tam) Mutu is a charismatic actor and his scenes with Olivo are taut and charged. Tveit, a handsome face attached to a rich lyric tenor, has by contrast all the sexual charisma of a baked potato. His scenes with Olivo seem friendly, nothing more. He wants them to run off together – and what? Have a picnic?

Tam Mutu gave a great performance in The New Yorkers.

Hopefully DR TCB will show up tonight.

If not, hopefully DR George will have contacted TCB and will let us know everything is ok.

Good evening.

My favorite sandwich us the one I make thanksgiving evening and/or the day after Thanksgiving

Especially nice on Panera honey oat bread

Spread some cold gravy on two slices of bread

Layer on some sliced cold turkey breast

Spread cranberry sauce on top of turkey

Stack some cold stuffing on top of that

Close sandwich

Eat

That sandwich sounds great if you leave off the cranberry junk!

Um, you got some 'splainin' to do, my friend.

TCB · « **Reply #132 on:** July 25, 2019, 11:38:26 PM »

Why did I bother to text George back at 4:30, if he wasn’t going to pass on that I was fine?

TCB · « **Reply #133 on:** July 25, 2019, 11:39:06 PM »

My apologies for missing one evening this year.

TCB · « **Reply #134 on:** July 25, 2019, 11:39:48 PM »

I will be back more tomorrow.

TCB · « **Reply #135 on:** July 25, 2019, 11:39:59 PM »

Good night.

Well, I need to leave work, go home, eat the other half of my egg salad sub sandwich, ...

Gimme.

Sorry...it's all gone.

I thought Aaron Tveit was very good in Catch Me If You Can in Seattle...but then I don't think he had any "romantic" scenes.

He was very good in The Secret Garden, also in Seattle.

Yes, we all wanted to know if you, TCB, were fine. That means that people care about you.
