BK, if the first film of Todd Haynes you were talking about was POISON, I warned you about several weeks ago that you wouldn’t like it.

I should have heeded your warning, but I was interested to see his beginnings.

My question for ASK BK DAY is:

What is the BEST stand up routine you've ever seen in person?

Maybe Shelly Berman back in 1961 or thereabouts, and certainly Jackie Mason, also back then. My big regret is never having seen Jack Benny in person.

BK, what are a couple of your favorite movie equivalents of comfort food?

The Court Jester, North by Northwest, The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad - stuff like that. And, of course, head of the list is The Music Man.

Valley lemons. They appear brighter than the photo.

The Zoom meeting went well, but there is much to work out. We want to propose a first round of three recordings for 2022-23, and if that goes well, then plan a second round of three.

I still fear it will all fall apart.

It was an invitation to my sixth birthday party.  I guess it meant I was a special friend ;) 



That's pretty cool, Jane.

It shows our old phone number too which was eventually changed due to a crazy caller who kept bothering us.

Yikes!

Two months later we met in LA for lunch and ended up talking for hours.

Nice!

I took a nap, and now I have to do a zoom thing. I'm not feeling it today.

It sounds like you might still be a bit fatigued from the vaccination.  I hope you are only not feeling the Zoom thing and otherwise feel ok.

I finished reading The Lincoln Highway today.  I wish I had read it for my book discussion group as I think it would make for a good discussion.

The light here was weird today. No direct sun, but certainly an Autumnal haze.

The juice is less tart, but no less flavorful.

DR John G. - I think you would really enjoy reading this book. It's pretty pricey, but perhaps the library will get a copy. It's not so much a cookbook, although it has recipes, as a food almanac as viewed over the years the NY Times has been in publication.
