We walked the grounds of the beautiful old small mansion. When I am home I'll try to post an interview with the son of the current owner and tbe efforts to make the property profitable.

The current owner kindly gave us a private tour of the inside as well as the outside.

It rained most of yesterday.   I am looking forward to a dry day, not taking a train or car, and just walking.

Had a fun lunch with David Wechter - some jernt called the Black Bear Diner - formerly Coco's.  In truth, it wasn't very good.  I had their "light" version of chicken fried steak - five ounces rather than ten - five was plenty and only six hundred calories.  We had fun chatting and catching up.

Then I went to the used CD store nearby - not much of there - got a couple of three dollar CDs just to hear and maybe expand my musical horizons - discs of Bach, who I have enjoyed in the past.

Then it was a little nutty trying to get back - lots of traffic, so I did a little jog north and that solved that problem.

Once home, I had a ton of e-mails to read and respond to, which I did.  Doug had told the actor we didn't end up using we'd gone a different way and why - and he wasn't so happy, even though a lot of our decision had to do with one conflict we couldn't live with, and the fact that he told us his agent was against him doing it and was going to work extra hard to get him a job, which means if that happened, we'd be looking for a new actor.  We simply couldn't take that kind of a chance.  Barry Pearl, who's good friends with him, had a talk and I think all is okay now.

Then I watched the final two episodes of Chernobyl - it was very powerful, occasionally hard to watch, but like most of these things, it seemed too long for its own good, but clearly they wanted to have five hours so there's some unnecessary repetition.  The acting was terrific, and the writing mostly terrific with a few clunky passages.  The direction was fine and the Blu-ray looks very good.  The one big no for me was the score, which is more sound design than music - yes, there's some of the usual choral dirge stuff, maybe five minutes - the rest is just noise, really, and not my cuppa.  If you like this sort of drama it comes highly recommended.

Time for me to leave work and head downtown.  I'll be concessioning this evening.  I will probably go out for dinner afterward.

Be back later.

I did not go out to eat afterward.

one conflict we couldn't live with, and the fact that he told us his agent was against him doing it and was going to work extra hard to get him a job, which means if that happened, we'd be looking for a new actor.  We simply couldn't take that kind of a chance.  Barry Pearl, who's good friends with him, had a talk and I think all is okay now.

Why would someone tell you something like that, and then be surprised that you had to consider what he had told you?

Several ancesters are burried in the church she attends so we spent a good amount of time there.  Our tour even included going up the bell tower.

That's pretty cool, Jane!

Exactly!  Very strange.
