I kind of wish I were spending the day at home, but I promised to attend the closing matinee of the WEST SIDE STORY that I subbed for at their sitzprobe last week, and they're comping me, so, yadda yadda...  and I need to see a couple of the musicians anyway, so...

Now here is a tip - not particularly for all we millionaires here at HHW - but you can pass it along to your poor relatives.  :D

I love my car - but it IS 15 years old.  A few years ago my brother Dane used one of those kits to try to get the lenses on my headlights clean because they were very cloudy.  He had to use sandpaper and some kind of formula on it....and it wasn't so hot. :-\

I mentioned this to my older brother Mike on Friday.  He texted me to tell me that my nephew Paul suggested the toothpaste rub....use a soft dry cloth and TOOTHPASTE....rub for a few minutes.  :o

Then use a wet cloth to wipe off the lens.

Well, folks, they look like new!  I highly recommend the Ultra Brite treatment if anyone has cloudy headlight lenses.....   8)

I have heard this before but never believed it.  But if you tell me it works then I shall try it!  My lenses are quite cloudy

I just finished what is hopefully the final draft of my Annabelle & Thatch book.  After all the rejections last year, I wanted to revise the manuscript, and I think it's much better for all that.  We'll see.

Last night we watched the first half of Carry On Cowboy, a fantastic parody with a bunch of excellent British farceurs attempting cowboy accents.  Kenneth Williams is wonderful as the judge needing a marshal to rid his town of the Rumpo Kid and his gang and Jim Dale plays a bumbling drainage expert, Marshall P. Knutt, who's mistaken for the new peace maker.  Jon Pertwee as nearly deaf and blind Sheriff Earp has a brilliant slapstick turn before he is gunned down by the Rumpo Kid.

This sounds delightful, DR Elmore.

Watching an old Kirk Douglas western called Man Without a Star. Interesting how many ladies of the evening are this film.

He's now singing with a banjo. Odd.

The elevator is finally running, so I've taken the garbage to the basement.  Our landlord has been high on my shit list since that entire eviction nonsense, but at the moment they really suck.  We've had no super for the past four months, only an interim who sends worker to clean, etc.  Well, no one's taken care of the laundry room in a week and it is disgusting with bags of trash, furniture, cardboard cartons piled up everywhere.

ChasSmith's review on Audible is up:

 A most delightful Adriana!

I am very familiar with Bruce Kimmel’s Adriana Hofstetter mysteries and have previously reviewed the books themselves on Amazon. These are my comments on the Audible edition.

When I heard there was to be an audio version of the latest book in the series, I couldn’t wait to listen because these stories are perfect candidates for this treatment. And I’m very happy to say that Moira Todd’s reading is a delight. She possesses a lovely clear voice that beautifully captures the character of Adriana and the world around her. Character dialogue is voiced with just enough distinction for this listener’s taste, and the reading is eminently listenable overall, successfully bringing a favorite series to life.

The Adriana books are highly recommended for younger and older readers alike, and I hope many more Audible editions will follow. Kudos to Bruce Kimmel and to Moira Todd for such a lovely start.

Can you take photos and send them to the proper city rental authorities?
