I always loved the Catholic FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, featuring Mother Teresa in one of her only film roles. Ironically, she plays The Rabbi.

Fred, please give Skip my very best wishes and rapid recovery.

Well, Nicky can’t sleep tonight either.

I hope to take Nick in on Wednesday to start his insulin.

T.O.D.

Hmm, that is a tough question. Probably, ANNIE HALL or CHINATOWN.

I suppose I could have said THE MATCHMAKER. Actually, that wasn’t my fault. I was watching the movie, but a half hour into the film, the theater caught fire.

And there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that my empty Jube jubes box was used as the accelerant!

Nick is yelling at me to turn off the light, so I shall.

I had a fantastic night of sleep along with a fantastic number of dreams. I only remember bits and pieces now:
1. I was working at Barnes & Noble, fought with a manager and quit.
2. I was at the Library of Congress.
3. I was driving on Route 4 in Middletown, Ohio, on my way to a party at Al Gore's home; Mrs Gore was a wonderful hostess/

I wrote checks and paid five bills. I ran out of stamps, so tomorrow, when my pension lands in the bank, I need a trip to a post office. I think I will make a market run at the same time.

Something's afoot with Babes In Toyland. I do not yet know what.

I got an email yesterday afternoon asking for a good time to discuss the edition.

I loved All the King's Men! I finally saw it a couple of years ago.

Kitty cleanup over, I can have my second cuppa coffee before I make the bed. The cats are quite frisky this morning. Stella and Annabelle helped me with the litter, and now the three of them are tearing through their cat tunnel.

I watched TIGER KING last night which was very strange.....

I did not want to roll over and start work.

Vibes for Nicky.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #55 on:** March 31, 2020, 05:44:03 AM »

Well, guess what else I just took off the shelf to watch.

ALL THE KING’S MEN. Which joins SHIP OF FOOLS in the watch pile. And these join NASHVILLE for a second look with the Altman commentary.

Based on BK’s report, I’m glad I bought that Twilight Time. And seriously, I have TTs and Criterions and too many other fine releases — many if not most of which would meet the definition of classic — that eluded me (or is it I who eluded them?) not only back in the day, but which have continued to do so right here on my shelf. It’s shameful. My list would be a long one. Well, let’s see what others confess to, and maybe I’ll have a go at it.

Thank you, DR Jrand69. I’ll try those when I’m at the computer later.

Senior Shopping was not as crowded today.

I bought some bananas, ground beef [meatloaf is in the oven], cookies, TP for my sister, cookies, ice cream sandwiches, Lysol disinfectant spray.....and a few other things.....

I had wine in my cart....but it could not be purchased until 7:01 a.m. so it was left behind in the checkout stand orphan bin.....
