Speaking of Downton Abbey, I saw the movie Thursday night. It was an advance screening (obviously) and moviegoers got a little Highclere Castle snowglobe.

I AM SO JEALOUS!

I enjoyed the movie quite a lot. It's kind of silly at times but it's just so much fun seeing those characters again!

Thanks for the "silly" warning 😊

Thatch is craving a lot of loving and attention this morning. I don't know where Annabelle and Stella have gone. They usually supervise my cleaning the litter since it means it's patrol time.

DR JRand69, I'm happy last night's show went well.

Do you have a place to leave out the snowglobe?

Now that the litter and dishes are cleaned, I need to think about breakfast before I lie down for a while.

Our company is up. I should get moving.

Good morning, all.

I slept in, which felt wonderful.

I should be starting work, but I don't feel like it.

Good morning, all.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #47 on:** September 14, 2019, 08:25:09 AM »

It just took me a little over an hour to pack up the two (count ‘em) keyboards and the amp and the racks and benches and music stands and the carry-on (or what used to pass as a carry-on, seeing as how this is still a nice size) with all the accessories and cables ‘n stuff, and load it all into the car.

And boy am I tired.

Fortunately, there’s plenty of help at the other end, and then a month before it all gets done again.

I love ‘em all, while POSEIDON and TOWERING get the nod for residing at the top of the list. Ever since playing DISASTER!, I’ve wanted to sit down and watch a string of them, and that hasn’t happened yet. I haven’t seen the AIRPORT movies, in particular, in a very long time, and their time is coming. In the right mood and frame of mind, they’ll all be a treat.

DR Chas Smith, thank you for mentioning yesterday that you'd watched some of the Sweet MUMories videos.

A typewriter? Is it museum work?

I have made my chicken salad for tomorrow. I have gone to the library. I've fed the birds. I've done everything what I need to, which is to rewrite a story. I'll do it after a nap.

Hello, everyone.

Jeanne · « **Reply #55 on:** September 14, 2019, 11:58:14 AM »

I enjoyed BK's quip yesterday about not moving the car because it wasn't his. Strangely enough, last night about 10:30 a huge branch on the big tree in front of the apartment building next door cracked and fell on some poor sod's late-model Acura SUV. The owner of the building is VERY irresponsible and won't do any maintenance if he can avoid it. I hope this costs him. I feel bad for the SUV owner. He probably has insurance, but there are deductibles and you often don't receive full value for your car. Besides the hassle.

Jeanne · « **Reply #56 on:** September 14, 2019, 11:58:47 AM »

That's the news from my 'hood.

Must tend to laundry.

TTFN.

I posted a photo of Frances Farmer on the Indiana Historical Society Facebook page because they are having a retrospective of the photographer's work.

An hour later someone twit posted : "I remember her from her TV show. She's racist. I watched it..... Nothing special about her."

I let it set for a couple of hours - not taking the bait. Then I went back and hid the comment and blocked the person..... I just hope this means no one else can see it on the page.....

Such an unfounded and strange thing to post about a woman who has been dead for 49 years and was in fact quite liberal in her personal and political views.....

ChasSmith · « **Reply #58 on:** September 14, 2019, 01:15:03 PM »

BK, what was the bookstore near the Nuart? You can’t be referring to something as far back as Papa Bach’s, can you?

It’s actually amazing that that name came to me just now. I’m remembering it probably from the late 1970s.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #59 on:** September 14, 2019, 01:20:26 PM »

Googling it, I see it wasn’t a possessive, just Papa Bach Paperbacks.

I probably had a few of these!
