I'm still dealing with a group of people who want us to pull a product page out of thin air without telling us any details about the product.

Anyway, tomorrow is another day, as some wretched skank once said.

I was never a fan of Scarlett. Or that novel. Or that movie.

Dance class tonight was fun. There were several new students who felt they couldn't dance. And there they were, after a few minutes, moving around the floor. It was great to see. It always is.

We did an odd mix of two step, shuffle and polka with merengue, bachata, hustle and West Coast swing thrown in for good measure.

John G. · « **Reply #97 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:24:28 PM »

Polka, I think, is the hardest, because it's fast.

Are you starting to observe Yom Kippur tonight?

John G. · « **Reply #102 on:** September 15, 2021, 08:27:19 PM »

Still enjoying One Last Stop, though it's not quite the giddy fun that Red, Hot and Royal Blue was.

There was a hilarious description of a drag brunch that starts at 7 p.m., because, well, have you ever known a drag queen to be on time? And true to form, they're all late.

I like anything almost with meringue.

I enjoyed the book very much MR BK. It's going to straight to the favorites stack.

Some savvy producer should of course make this into a series immediately!

The show was good tonight - but it was very low energy - to match the audience.

Horrible story, Jane. Sorry about Keith. My dad always used tobacco on stings to draw out the poison.

Interesting. I have never seen or heard of that before.

That would be a better show than 90% of what's out there.

I hated the West Side Story trailer - like all trailers these days it's so full of itself and self-importance and all those little trailer style things I can't stand. And each trailer they've done has done its best to hide the fact that it's a musical - in this new trailer there's exactly one sung line of Tonight - that's it and it's right at the top so you'll forget about it. The cheesy synth-laden version of that song that underscores is - cheesy. And all the new dialogue is just not so good. And yet, you read things like "I got chills" "I cried" - I mean, honestly. I mostly love Spielberg, but his two remakes of other films were terrible - Always and War of the Worlds. So, I'm not so sure. It would be nice if it were good, of course, but then you've got the brilliant original.

Jrand wrote a lovelier than lovely review of Some Days Are Murder:

Well Bruce Kimmel has done it again with his mystery novel "Some Days Are Murder". Former author's agent turned PI - Harry Stearns is our intrepid hero here. A former client has been murdered and his wife Helen wants Harry to find out whodunit. Traveling around the city of LA - and nobody knows LA geography better than Kimmel - Stearns goes behind the police in interviewing friends of the couple.

Everyone is a suspect and Kimmel's descriptions of them and their varied abodes are as enjoyable as anything else. Each of the characters is a one of a kind personality and are drawn so well in just a few sentences that you feel you know them as well as you know - your own friends. This is true although a few of them you would drop from your circle, probably.

Who killed Bill Forrester? Well it takes Harry about 18 days to figure it out. Each chapter is a day in his investigation and each day he gets a step closer to the killer - or does he? Even Miss Marple needs clues to solve a mystery and Harry doesn't seem to find any.

The chapter breaks are natural stopping points, unless you are like me and can't put the book down. It's like a film noir mixed with a 1950's PI television show like Mike Hammer or Peter Gunn.

If you like a good mystery story where YOU are part of the investigation team and want to put your own skills to work, you will love this book. I did NOT put a finger on the culprit - even though I was sure I had it figured out. It's a great book for fans of mysteries and/or fans of Kimmel's unique writing style. It's a step back in time - Harry drives a 1964 Pontiac Tempest - but it's as contemporary as can be.

And I haven't even mentioned Harry's secretary Bernice who is right out of the Gail Patrick-Eve Arden school of none-of-your business! Buy it, cheapskate, just click the button!

That's wonderful! Wish I could write that well!
