DR TCB I watched SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON on Monday.  I hadn't seen it for quite awhile either....I liked it a lot.  Except for one cast member, I enjoyed everybody.

And it made me think that Dorothy McGuire has been the movie mother of Tommy Kirk & Kevin Corcoran (three times), James MacArthur, Anthony Perkins, Richard Eyer, Connie Stevens, Troy Donahue, and Nick Nolte - among others.

I saw Dorothy McGuire in a production of I Never Sang for My Father with Daniel J. Travanti. She was warm and wonderful.

[John G.]

Two!

From DR John:

Amor Towles has a new book out, The Lincoln Highway. Looking forward to it.

So am I.

[Jane]

I am #38 on 12 copies in the queue at my local library.

[Jane]

At the other library I am #58 on 1 copy.

[Jane]

From John:

I really liked A Gentleman in Moscow, which I read is being turned into a miniseries.

As much as I love this I wonder if I will like a miniseries. 

[Jane]

But yes, much better than making a movie.

[Jane]

From DR TCB:

We may lose 100 state patrol officers on October 18.

 

[Jane]

From TCB:

If you were a pregnant woman would you go to a doctor who has been exposed to German measles?

Exactly.  When I was young I knew a pregnant woman who had to live through the fear of this after being exposed, though not from her doctor.  Once there was a vaccination, way before I got pregnant, I was vaccinated.

[Jane]

I learned at a young age of long term side affects from a bad virus.

Wednesday afternoon greetings!

I am, too.  In fact, this evening I'm attending a Zoom event sponsored by Ann Patchett's Parnassus Books:

My ticket purchase includes a copy of the book with an autographed book plate.

Anyone care to join me?

I've had a telephonic conversation with Joshie, a short nap, watched my soap, and called Dr Blacksburg's assistant Shon about this "procedure." He gave me the number of the doctor I need to call and I will do that in a moment.

I heard a real commercial blooper this morning, and when it replayed several hours later, I confirmed it.  Someone in the commercial agency really blew it.

I believe what the announcer was implying was "So, if you or someone you know . . ." but instead the announcer says, "So, if you or your man suffers from erectile dysfunction . . ."

I would if I weren’t already engaged.

At work, we have a lot of ED.

The Towles book is not available at my library yet.

The "procedure" is set for 10:00, October 18. Now, if only the Philly Pops check would come in.

My ultra-neurotic neighbor Judy is driving me up the wall. I think I've become her "help the handicapped" project.

Tempting, though I prefer to do author talks after I have read a book. 

[Jane]

The Towles book is not available at my library yet.

Do you have an option to recommend it?  My library that has multiple copies has had it all along, the other library with one copy only recently got the book.  I am referring to eBooks.  I have no idea about hard copies.

Yes. I have many other books to grt though, so I can wait.

As depressing as it is, Beautiful World, Where Are You is holding me in its spell.

[John G.]

One of the best parts of the afternoon is remembering you have Cherry Garcia in the freezer.

[John G.]

Just saying

[elmore3003]

AMEN!

I should put Cherry Garcia in my freezer, then maybe I wouldn't eat any ice cream

Good morning afternoon evening, friends. What a day!
