Hi, Kevin!

George · « **Reply #92 on:** August 28, 2019, 07:15:28 PM »

Bye, Kevin! I'm leaving work and going to my parents' house to help my dad with his new headphones. Something's wrong and would like me to help, which I'm happy to do.

Be back later.

Starting a bad copy of Indiscretion of an American Wife. I wish the library had bought the Criterion version with the unedited Terminal Station in it. Montgomery Clift is excellent. Jennifer Jones is charming. It may be too serious for the mood I'm in.

Finally back from the marathon commentary session. I'm EXHAUSTED. I got through the first one fine - they'll edit out my couple of throat clearing episodes. I gave a complete history of the film from the time I got the idea through what happened after. I also stopped occasionally to talk about the actors and what was happening on screen. I only had to vamp a little towards the end.

I rested for thirty minutes, then Cindy arrived and we did ours. That was very loose and we talked about us, our history, Nudie, all her film and TV work, her stage work, and, of course how it was to do The Creature. It's pretty funny at times. I would have to keep her going because she had never actually seen the film in its finished form (meaning my cut) and she was watching and laughing at things as we went.

Then it was another thirty-minute break and Marshall arrived and we did ours on the release version. My voice, surprisingly, pretty much held up throughout the four-and-a-half HOURS of non-stop gabbing. The Marshall commentary was a lot about editing, the stupid decisions that were made with the film, the nature of film comedy, and of course a few funny rants about the Internet and Facebook.

Then we all convened at the Smoke House and had a lovely dinner, which I really needed and, frankly, deserved. I had the small filet (less than 700 calories), creamed spinach, and a little Caesar, plus a few pieces of the garlic cheese bread. We had a great time, then I drove Cindy to where she's staying. And then I stopped at Gelson's for a sweet treat, to celebrate the productive and fun and EXHAUSTING day.

A question for the carnivores out there: Do you like chicken salad with hard-boiled egg in it?

This seems to be in the copy cat version of Chik-fil-A's recipes.

To me, it's just another reason not to eat there.

John G. · « **Reply #102 on:** August 28, 2019, 08:23:24 PM »

I have been looking at chicken salad recipes tonight. Too many have grapes in them. Too sweet. One even went so far as to add brown sugar to all those grapes.

I came down to a choice of two. One has pear, apple, pecans and thyme in it. Sort of a fall chicken salad.

The other has avocado in it.

I was about to ask how your voice held up.

Whe we moved here and were living in hotels, eating healthy vegetarian became impossible. A few times I ordered a chicken salad sandwich with dried cranberries. It was delicious.

Well, I went to my parents' house, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the headphones. $:-\$

George · « **Reply #111 on:** August 28, 2019, 10:59:09 PM »

I suggested letting them charge up overnight.

George · « **Reply #112 on:** August 28, 2019, 10:59:16 PM »

The instruction booklet, while in appropriate English, didn't seem to have the answers to my questions, so we'll see what it's like in the morning.

George · « **Reply #113 on:** August 28, 2019, 10:59:47 PM »

Hopefully, I won't have to send them back.

I finishec my book and can now begin the lastest David Rosenfelt book I have been looking forward to.
