Halfway through Nielsen's Saul and David, which is enjoyable and plenty tuneful.

Just caught the first preview of Masterpiece’s new Around the World in 80 Days starring David Tennant. I loved the book as a kid. Looking forward to the fun.

This Russian Italian movie about Michelangelo is fun and probably factual in outline, but any resemblance to reality is stretched a bit. All for a good entertainment.

I don’t know if I can finish before leaving for dinner. Sichuan food with friends.

I hope you will be commenting on it so I remember to watch it

DR ELMORE the lady in the photo is Frances Farmer on the set of her television show in Indy at WFBM.

Number one in her time slot for six years in a row!

Rigatoni with meat sauce was excellent and filling - about six ounces of pasta.

I had an hour chat with Cindy Williams - hadn't heard from her about the piece of special material I'd written for her, but turns out she and her director loved it. She changed a couple of words, and other than that there was just one line in the third verse that didn't feel right to her, so I just rewrote that whole verse and made it funnier and sent it off to her. So, she's in LA in a week and we'll get together, set a key that works, and I'll have a track made for her. I made a few suggestions about how to stage it and she liked them.

In her show, getting through the early part of her life was apparently lugubrious, not fun, and taking too long. She and her director thought maybe I could write some special lyrics for I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major General - so I had her send me bullet points of what she wanted to cover. But in looking at that song's wordy lyrics and the rhyme scheme and syllables, there was no way it was going to work. Plus, I felt no one would know the tune. What came to me instantly was to write specialty lyrics to The Ballad of Davy Crockett, called The Ballad of Cindy Williams - they loved that idea and I wrote it and finessed it and it came out really well, I thought. And I'm pretty sure she'll love the newly-revised verse three.

And now, back to Mildred.

Apparently, Some Days Are Murder got some kind of notice somewhere, because Cindy's director, who is a producer, always gets alerts when books get notice and he got one on mine. So, I'll give her a copy when she's here. Certainly, she could play Bernice in her sleep.

I am glad you had a great conversation with Cindy.

Is anyone watching the Emmy's?

Jane · « **Reply #73 on:** September 19, 2021, 05:17:50 PM »

I am not watching.

But I am watching the news for the winners.

I hope everyone nominated for Ted Lasso wins.

That will be impossible as four of the actors have been nominated for best supporting actor.

One of the four actors nominated for best supporting actor in Ted Lasso won.

Kind of a lazy day here.

I did accomplish taking a nap.

And grocery shopping after the church gig.

We were at church camp all weekend, which was glorious. We had to skip last year, which was so sad. This year was so much fun, which included two families who found us after the pandemic.

Laura · « **Reply #86 on:** September 19, 2021, 06:44:51 PM »

And FOUR two-year-olds for our small congregation sure kept things busy!

The Ballad sounds like fun. It would be great to read the lyrics.

Had a marvelous dinner with friends tonight. A spicy whole fish with vegetables, chicken with three mushrooms and a vegetable called ong choi sauteed with garlic. Yum.
