Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a million stories and were naked, and now it is time for you to post until the naked cows come home.

Today, my friend Margo and I are going to order some Mexican take-out and go to her house and eat on her porch at a respectable distance from each other. :) We haven't seen each other in quite a while, so we'll have a lot to ketchup on.

I got up to feed the cats, walked into the bathroom, and discovered Stella had got to the toilet paper again.  I'm pondering my options, none of which involve abandoning her.

I may do laundry today.  Now that I have a lot of score paper from yesterday's Staples trip, I will work on an orchestration.

DR George, despite the quarantine, you had an amazing birthday.  That's fantastic.

DR Jeannie, you missed the point of my signed check post.  That's exactly why Trump wanted his signature on those stimulus checks.

My cousin John just posted this on Facebook:
My cousin in New York, is writing a "children's book for adults" about his life with his 2 cats. By the time I got to page 25, I had to find a kitten and named it Wanda.

This bird is not Wanda.  My family is eccentric but we're not that eccentric.  I just like this photo of John.

I went into the bathroom to clean the litter, and found Stella sitting among more shredded toilet paper and the mangled role.  I kept my cool. I don't think I screamed and yelled for more than thirty seconds.

If any DR who is a movie fan has not read Danny Peary's books - I think there are three volumes - Cult Movies, they are highly recommended by the likes of me.....fun and knowledgeable and includes many things I didn't know about some of my favorite films.

Of course I read them before the inner webs made put such knowledge at your fingertips.  But Peary's observations and facts can be depended upon.

That WAS nice DR JOHN G.

DR GEORGE that is a My T Fine photograph of yourself.

I also liked the photo DR ELMORE posted of his cousin and his bird that is not his cat.

I am pleased to announce that my new one-person play, PETER LORRE, is now available in paperback and Kindle editions via Amazon.

Humphrey Bogart, Sydney Greenstreet, Boris Karloff, Vincent Price: Peter has stories about them all.

This is the 28th play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS Collection.

Production rights are available. 

Soon, I will be seeking the right voice actor to do an audio version.

I will have my virtual appt. with my surgeon today.

I want to ask him if my immune system is still considered compromised....if that is so I am not permitted to work in the theatre even after the July 4 OPEN.....'

The President sent out a reminder for the theatre meeting this afternoon and included the list that I was talking about yesterday and said he didn't know how we could meet those guidelines.....just as I was saying in my post yesterday....imagine that!

That is an amazing picture of the non-cat bird, DR Elmore!

I don't think I've seen one with quite that combination of colors. Those things are so beautiful.

The President's signature is NOT on the physical stimulus checks, but his name is on the MEMO line.

I understand that his signature is boldly there on the follow up letter that everyone will receive.

Yes, it is.  I received the letter, wondered who really wrote it since Trump is an illiterate, and threw it away.

I've been craving a return to the Tati films for quite a while, and when I decide to take the plunge I'll definitely take them chronologically (which I've never done).

I believe I've seen the first one only once, so it will make a good re-induction. But I've especially looked forward to revisiting MON ONCLE and savoring every detail. It clearly looks ahead to PLAYTIME and has some amazing set pieces. Well, they all having amazing set pieces.

Speaking of revival houses yesterday, it seems like I was always seeing that MON ONCLE was being shown somewhere, and I'm sorry to say I never saw it at a theater. It was eventually a laserdisc discovery for me. In fact, the only Tati I've seen at a theater was that showing of PLAYTIME in NYC several years ago.

I need to give Tati another try. But it’ll have to wait for the library to reopen. I still have too many unopened films to watch.
