Last night's antics with DRs TCB, George, and Jane put me in mind of this:

I just watched Melania's farewell number á la Benanti. It was fun.

I had a long dream last night in which I was working in some library. When I finished grad school, my first boss was a wonderful lady named Helen Ball, who was in charge of Miami U's new King Library. I was working for her in this dream, and one of my co-workers was Eva Rogers, with whom I worked at Middletown's Office Outfitters between Sept. 1973 and 1978.

One more day and the Fat Orange Slug is out. I can only hope that in short order he is bankrupt, the Trump Organization is rubble, and he is revealed to the world as the corrupt, lying, narcissistic bullshit artist we New Yorkers always knew him to be.

BK, have you ever seen the film of La Boheme with Mirella Freni? I saw this when I was in college around 1966, and it's quite good. I think this is when I first saw her perform and fell in love.

Kitty cleanup is over. Annabelle deigned to eat her Fancy Feast this morning, so I'm happy.

My neighbor Judy gets crazier every day. She's been very kind about occasionally bring up packages from the lobby and leaving them at my door, but it still means I have to go to the lobby to get my mail. I'd just as soon pick everything up while I'm down there than crawling on the floor in front of my door to pick up things she's left on the floor in front of my door.

Two nights ago she dropped off a shopping bag full of packages at my door, and I thought, I'm not expecting this many packages. Well, it turned out two were for me. The other four were two packages for Judy (!), one for Roberta who's also on three, and one for Ann on five. Did she expect me to deliver them? I left the three for her and Roberta at her door and took Ann's - who was out of town - back to the lobby.

I am pleased to announce the publication of the 35th play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection, ETHEL OF THE BARRYMORES, which is available in paperback and Kindle edition on Amazon. Performance rights are available.

Back in the 1980s when I first decided to write a one-person play, I was trying to decide whether to my subject would be Clark Gable or John Barrymore.

Ultimately, for commercial reasons, I chose GABLE, and the play had several successful productions. A year or so later, Christopher Plummer did another one-person play on John Barrymore, so I moved onto other subjects (e.g. Spencer Tracy, Carole Lombard, Al Jolson, etal.)

Always fascinated with the Barrymore Family (Lionel, John and Ethel), I've have now written a play that deals with all of The Royal Family of Broadway, told from Ethel's viewpoint.

I do hope you will enjoy it.

I have way too many favorite Herrmann scores to name.

BK - I shall have to get it out and listen to it, but does your description of the Herrmann recording of Wuthering Heights pertain to the sound of the original LPs, the CDs, or all of the above? I'd always assumed (and we all know where that gets us) that the CDs were LP transfers, and probably not even good ones.

Secondly, who owns that now, and is there any possibility of getting permission to remix/remaster from the original elements? Or would you now prefer to see that effort taken with the French one?

I've booked my tax appointment for Feb. 22, so that's one more thing off my list of duties.

Ladies and gentlemen, an update:

The Christmas tree is still standing.

We took the ornaments off over the weekend, but we weren't quite ready to take the tree out yet so the lights are still on it and it's still great to have them on in the evening.

It's been an amazing tree. I already forget the type, but it has to be one of the hardiest we've ever had. You can see the age on some of the branches if you look closely, but it still stands proud and tall, with no sagging or discoloration, and with surprisingly few needles dropping, even after ornament removal.

We cut it and brought it in a week after Thanksgiving. This is already the longest we've been able to keep a tree, so regardless of which day we take it out, it's a winner.

OMG, thank you. We saw it in college, too, and I've never thought to look for it since.
