I was thinking about A Christmas Carol and how wonderful George C. Scott is, second to the brilliant Alistair Sim, and I forgot to mention watching A Carol Christmas, which I must admit gets a qualified rave.  I liked the cast, the score, which is funny, moving, and full of heart, but I wasn't crazy about the book. I thought it had great ideas like Marley's ghost being a DVD and the three spirits, but it never moved me.  This past Christmas I watched every Christmas Carol I had - Alistair Sim, George C. Scott, Michael Hordern, Patrick Stewart, Basil Rathbone, and the Carl Davis ballet - and only George C. Scott's version moved me. To paraphrase Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Scrooge is not as simple as he seems. 

I loved Blake's ballad, BK; it's wonderful.

You are missing my favorite version with Albert Finney.  I also liked George C. Scott's performance.

I hated the movie Scrooge!  I know people like it, but count me out.

Had a quiet day, doing a little cleaning up.  Boo had a fit when she woke up and her throw rugs were missing. She stood right where one usually is and chewed me out.  I told her they were in the dryer, but she didn't calm down until I took them out.

Don't know much today. I went to the office and got the mail and came home.   I did have a nice conversation with some friends who moved to Wisconsin. It's been fun to have people call and email just to say hi and it' been happening a lot lately

Done, 11th birthday gift ordered for a Zoom party.  Two items from Amazon and a gift certificate for Powell's.

I like supporting Powell's.  After having to close their stores due to the virus and laying off the workers their was a surge in online orders to support them.  They were able to rehire over 100 workers full time with employee benefits.

Apparently there is a schedule for times that the play appears.

I started writing a new play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection today.

It's about one of my all-time favorite performers, and somebody who I had the pleasure of meeting a long time ago.

Just finished a really bad crossword puzzle. I've started doing these again in the last couple of weeks. I haven't done them in maybe 20 or more years. Anyway, the theme clues were dreadful. They mixed up people's names. So answers were Hoss Mart instead of Moss Hart. Or Melonious Thunk instead of Thelonious Monk. My least favorite was the one I got last: Loose Brie instead of Bruce Lee.

I decided I had seen enough movies with the two Italian flicks I watched earlier. Instead I listened to an interesting book called George by Alex Gino. It was on the banned books list, so I wanted to see what the big deal was. It was a YA book about a kid who realizes she is transgender. Very hard for the kid, to be sure, but it showed other people just how hard it can be. So, a book about tolerance, of course, is going to be banned. The Great Gatsby was banned this year in an Alaska school district by a school board that proudly announced that they weren't going to bother to read challenged books.
