I remember spending some enjoyable hours there browsing and killing time till something was starting at the Nuart or Royal. Or dropping in late after a movie before heading home.

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.....

My life at the moment is no more fascinating.  I spent the afternoon soaking in a hot tub and listening to a PBS folk music special.

I have a  lovely little spring whisk, and I add a little cold water and beat and beat the eggs until they start getting a little foamy then gently pour them into a hot buttered skillet and cover and cook on medium heat ;D

Of course it’s not really an omelet unless you put in some filings

ChasSmith - no, this was much more recent than Papa Bach's.  In fact there were three bookstores near there, the last of which just closed a couple of months ago.

Grant ended up going to the bookstore with me - very disappointing - none of the fun stuff he brings to the shows was in evidence - I suspect that's not his clientele.  But he does do a lot of events there, so we'll make a plan in October to do a Kritzer signing, since his store is literally five blocks from my childhood home.  That way, I can talk all about the neighborhood as it was then and now.

I finished up my evening work - filling the cats' water bowls, washing their dishes and mine, putting the laundry together for tomorrow - and I'm ready to die.  I'm ready to get back into the tub.

Topic of the Day:

Airplane
Airport
The Andromeda Strain
The Big Bus
The China Syndrome
The Poseidon Adventure
The Towering Inferno

I think The Andromeda Strain is a scifi film.

I certainly have seen enough disaster films thanks to Keith.  Not having a favorite I asked him for his.  It is The Poseidon Adventure.

We pulled into the parking lot at our market this afternoon & were pleasantly surprised to see the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.

Saturday morning greetings!  More DAR administration work for me today - and it involves a typewriter  ???

A typewriter? Is it museum work?

Membership cards, DR John G.  My predecessor led me to believe I could do a mail merge from our online national directory and print them onto the fillable cards we bought in Columbus last month.  However - that mail merge 1) is for printing onto blank business card cardstock, which would use up way too much printer ink (unicorn blood, according to my son) and 2) requires Microsoft Word, which I don't have on my new MacBook Air and really don't want.  What I do have is a nice correctable electronic typewriter that I bought years ago, specifically for filling out forms and addressing envelopes, both of which I think are pains in the neck on the computer, unless it's a writable PDF.  It took me - maybe - 2 hours to type the 46 cards for our chapter and with no techno-stress (except when I thought the ribbon was giving out, but it wasn't).
