Fortunately I saw this coming, and everything (I hope) important to me is backed up. And I have the MacBook to use.

I will eventually need me some Windows again for a few things that don’t exist in the Apple world. But it can wait for a while.

Smart move.

Sunday evening greetings! I accompanied Fr. Richard to church in Dayton today because he substituted for ailing Fr. Wayne. We have vegged all afternoon, except when our neighbor's son arrived to haul away that recliner I've had up for grabs since October. Yay!

Picked up Hustlers from the library today, so I guess that's also on the agenda for later.

This means something quite different in Indy.

Manhattan, too!

It's about time to settle down with the kitties for the night. I'm glad to put my feet up and put no more pressure on my left leg tonight. Annabelle seems restless tonight. She wasn't thrilled about breakfast or dinner tonight, so she may be fighting a cold or something. Stella has become a little puppy and follows me around and under my feet whenever I begin to move. All Thatch wants to do is lie on my bed, be scratched and petted, then stretch out to his full length of about 30 inches for me to rub his tummy and scratch under his chin.

I'm still craving chocolate. As soon as my City Center payment lands, I'm buying some Cadbury fruit and nut bars.

Just put on a pot of tomato, celery and apple soup. I haven't made it in a while. May be my favorite -- and it's vegan, which is a surprise, to me at least.

Would you be willing to share this recipe?

Has anyone seen All Is True, a film in which Kenneth Branagh plays William Shakespeare? Judi Dench and Ian McKellan are also in the cast.

Jane · « **Reply #72 on:** January 12, 2020, 06:20:31 PM »

Nope.

DR George are you looking forward to watching "Star Trek: Picard"?

If it's on CBS All Access, I won't get to see it until it's released on DVD. But I'd really like to see it.

It would probably be on interest to Shakespeare completists and Kenneth Branagh fans. The ending featured Judi Dench as Shakespeare's wife with his daughters reciting the "Fear No More" speech. It's followed by a musical version of the same speech, which seemed overkill.

And no, they didn't use Sondheim's musical setting of the same. The version in the film, by Patrick Doyle, is faux Elizabethan and not all that good.

Now watching an oldie, but I haven't decided if it's a goodie yet. International House with Peggy Hopkins Joyce, W.C. Fields, Burns and Allen, Franklin Pangborn, Bela Lugosi, Cab Calloway and some dated humor that it is a bit racist by today's standards.

Burns and Allen are hilarious.

George, this production of The Tempest was from the same Donmar group that did the Julius Caesar you saw. Henry V was the third in the trilogy they staged.

Cool! I didn't know that there was a trilogy. There's nothing on Amazon.com, but it's available from Amazon.co.uk here:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07Y4NDZ2J/. I just ordered it!

This movie has one of the weirdest pre-Production Code musical numbers I've ever seen. Sterling Holloway and some scantily clad women doing "She Was a Chinese Tea Cup and He Was a Coffee Mug." I can't find it on YouTube, otherwise I would share it.

Doctor Who is on now. The gang get enough coupons to enjoy a free two-week vacation inclusive (meaning everything is free), but there's some kind of monster there, and all hell breaks loose!

Back from the final performance of The Man Who Came to Dinner - went out with a great audience and a great show, about which more in the notes. Then Barry Pearl and I went to the Smoke House to celebrate.
