This birthday is my third, 71 years ago, in the back yard of my Grandmother's house at 711 Tenth Avenue. I remember it, I suppose, because several photos exist of the family gathering: my grandmother, my mother, brother Macbeth, my cousins Judy and Jeanne, my Aunt Ruth, and my uncles Paul and Bob. Whenever I see tyhis photo, Barber's "Knoxville, Summer of 1915" comes to mind: one is my mother who is good to me.


Funny, I thought it was a wheelchair.

TCB I am so sorry about your stepson.

I wasn’t aware that you had stepchildren


Yes, I had five stepchildren. Two of them, I never met.

Today is Pearl Harbor Day, which prompts a memory of one of Woody Allen's best lines in Radio Days:

Who's Pearl Harbor?

Seriously, we owe a debt to those who have served our country then and now.

One day I might actually get to spend my birthday at Pearl Harbor.


I thought your birth was what FDR’s speech was all about.

We watched Alan Ball's Uncle Frank on Amazon Prime. Very well done.


Thank you for the positive review.  I have been trying to decide if I wanted to watch it.

And where exactly is George?

So, my niece wanted me to record several Hallmark movies, and for some reason a couple of them have not recorded from my DVR onto my computer easily.  The movies are just over two hours each, but when I play the file that I recorded, it indicates that the movies are 11 or 12 hours each! :o The movies on my DVR are fine.

The problems happen when I record them onto my computer, but I finally had an idea and it worked!  I just recorded each "act" and stopped the recording during the commercials.  I then jump to the end of the commercial break during playback, then start a new recording.

I now have nine chunks that all recorded properly, and it will (fortunately) be very easy to cut the end bits of each chunk that I don't want, and to combine them when I burn the disc.  Whew! :D
