I must start doing some walks as I'm getting no exercise at all.

I had started walking during work with some co-workers, but except for a couple of times, I haven't since my work closed. I think I'll walk to work to see if the mail clerk will be there. Hopefully, she will and I can pick up my package that was supposed to be delivered yesterday. It's small enough (it's a pack of 20 blank 50GB Blu-ray discs) that I can carry it.

Now you should have plenty of time to walk. Good luck getting your package.

I slept the whole night through. Am very happy about that.

Congrats.

An Amazon package that was supposed to be delivered on Tuesday has been stuck with UPS in New Jersey for the past two days.

Just put together a batch of Lemon Lime Jello Pineapple Cottage Cheese Surprise to go with the sloppy joes we're having for dinner tonight.

I am finishing up the spaghetti I made on Saturday.

Instead of getting a yearly sticker to put on my license plate, I got a NEW plate.....it's very nice....trees, a covered bridge, and some cardinals (the bird kind).... I have not had a REAL new physical license plate in over ten years.

My number remains the same..... 376BFF.

One thing to look forward to each afternoon:

LOL DR JOHN G - maybe if I think of it as a plus, it will help.

I am waiting for DR CHAS SMITH to finish watching Nashville before I post a particular comment.

Did DR VIXMOM find a copy?

A congealed salad. Love that stuff. Do you use pecans?

Two years ago, a bunch of us were in New York for some Cole Porter.

Of course! And now I'm out of pecans. Going to try to order some from Georgia...

Ginny · « **Reply #73 on:** March 26, 2020, 09:53:34 AM »

No pecans for us from Georgia. The shipping cost is way too high! I'll try to find some locally.

Nice. When you move a lot you get new plates. I do miss our vanity plate from Oregon, Mt. Dog. We still have it.

Good morning.

I shouted at a neighbor from the next street south of me. Well, that's how we carried on our conversation. She was on the other side of the street. I told her she is welcome to come into my yard and harvest wildflower seeds for her yard. I have several varieties that are not commercially available that I have gathered from my hiking over the years.

Here I am, fresh from having watched NASHVILLE.

Thanks to everyone for avoiding spoilers. Oh my. I'd never even thought about that being a consideration!

It's really fantastic. And like all such films, it will reward repeated viewings. If I keep my evening free, I'll get into the Criterion extras, and I'll watch it again with Altman's commentary soon.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #79 on:** March 26, 2020, 10:26:11 AM »

As I watched the characters and marveled at the actors themselves, I thought of three or four more seminal 1970s films that I'm amazed didn't occur to me the other day.

But that kind of thing is about what you're thinking of at the time, and shouldn't be an effort to replicate an encyclopedia. However, that having been said, how in the #%!*$ did I manage to leave out DELIVERANCE?

bk · « **Reply #80 on:** March 26, 2020, 10:29:04 AM »

I'm up, I'm up - five and a half hours of sleep thanks to the doorbell ringing at nine-thirty. I was determined not to answer it and didn't, but then I thought maybe the Instacart delivery was today rather than tomorrow, so a minute after it had rung I got up and there was nothing outside at all - so who rang the damn doorbell and why?

bk · « **Reply #81 on:** March 26, 2020, 10:29:16 AM »

I might go back to bed for a bit.

bk · « **Reply #82 on:** March 26, 2020, 10:29:37 AM »

But of course first I had to deal with some e-mails I'd rather not have dealt with.

I agree. And it only gets better with age. I think it lost the Oscsrs that year to Cuckoo’s Nest, which hasn’t aged quite so well, IMO. But it was a great year for films. Dog Day Afternoon, too, which I also forgot the other day.

DR Laura have you been video chatting with your grandson?

ChasSmith · « **Reply #87 on:** March 26, 2020, 10:38:10 AM »

One more detail for now:

Ronee Blakley. Oh my god. Where did she come from? And where did she go?

That performance is beyond stupendous. But her songs, and those orchestrations. Gorgeous. Next time I run this I'm cranking it up on the Big Speakers. Of course I always watch a movie with the Big Speakers. But I'll plan on having a real theater-level experience next time.

I'm someone who's largely indifferent to this genre of music. Hell's bells, the main reason I never felt compelled to see the movie was because of its setting and what I knew the general musical style would be. It won't change my lifelong musical preferences, but I can certainly love what's up there on the screen. Thank you, Mr. Altman, sir.

I'm really glad to hear the Woody Allen book is so good. I hope it becomes a GREAT seller.

Can't wait to dig in, and will try to do that soon.

Okay, DR Jrand69, out with your spoiler!
