Well, you've read the notes, the notes told a tale and had diverting diversions, and now it is time for you to post until the diverting cows come home.

BK, congrats on finally being able to hold the first copy of your very own new book! When do you expect to be able to ship them?

Off to bed.

Have a good day, all!

Have to wait for the hardcover, and if that's as fine as the softcover, then I'll place the order and it's usually about two weeks until they arrive.

SUCCEDANEUM!! That's what I said when I followed DR GEORGE's link from last night.....to see my formerly FAT self dancing.....we did not win the contest.....

And if my partner had told me she planned to wear Veronica Lake's hair, I would have helped her with it.....she surprised me with the do as we were introduced....

But I do still enjoy that song! It's one of my favorite disco tunes.

I had another bad night of sleep, so as soon as I fed the cats, I went back to bed. I had two strange dreams but I remember neither of them now.

Stella and Thatch have been romping a lot. The place is a mess.

Saturday morning greetings! My Zoom commitments continue today, as I’m a delegate to the AAUW Ohio annual meeting. Tomorrow’s will be more fun - it’s a baby shower for Mary Linda and Rob. They told us last night that their breezeway looks like an Amazon warehouse.

DR Elmore, I’m so sorry to hear about your friend.

I spoke to Shelly Winters several times on the phone when I worked at the Drama Book Shop. She had an account. She was friendly and always seemed a bit scattered. She would ask me to tell her the latest bios that had arrived, and she would add comments like, "That might be interesting" or "I worked with him/her." She once ended a conversation with, "So sad. They're all dead now."

One of the other clerks once delivered a package of books to her apartment, He said she rang him up and a hand came from around the door to take the package from him. She said she had just got out of the tub abd was naked.

Thank you, DR Ginny, and everyone else who posted comments.

It's time for kitty cleanup.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 25, 2020, 07:05:52 AM »

Clean up is over, and I am pondering two things: breakfast and the rest of my day. Last night we watched the first two episodes of the PBS series Wolf Hall starring Mark Rylance and Damien Lewis, who looks fantastic as Henry VIII in his prime before he came obese.

Good morning, all.

What a nice book cover design I voted for!

The fat orange slug in the White House claims he was being sarcastic, but I don't think because he's a total fool. I really doubt he knows the meaning of the word sarcastic. I like the Daily News appelation this morning.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #22 on:** April 25, 2020, 07:10:00 AM »

Love the Shelly Winters stories, DR Elmore.

Funny about the breezeway. I wish Kate had wanted a baby shower for me to attend. I wasn't surprised she didn't. They were very surprised many of our friends sent gifts anyway

Fun video of DR Jrand!
