Last night we watched Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which I had never seen. I read the book the week it was released - where is that first edition now? did I lend it out? - and loved it. I have no idea now how I missed it when it played here in 1997. It was fun to see Dorothy Loudon in a small but juicy role, and I loved the Lady Chablis playing herself.

I didn't get around to reading or watching it till several years after the film came out, and we watched it at home -- after which I wanted to read it right away, and it turned out that Nathan had the unabridged audiobook on CD, so that was my soundtrack on a road trip I was about to take. I loved it.

What an incredible story and setting. That was my introduction to the Lady Chablis, and it was great to learn that it was her in the film. I was sorry when she died, because by then all three of us here were wanting to visit and explore Savannah, and what a treat it would have been to have seen or met her for a moment. Kristi and Nathan did take a brief vacation there shortly thereafter, and they loved the place. I still look forward to getting there.

I spent a day in Savannah, and I loved it. It was after the Hilton Head performances of Christmas Up the Holler[/i and we had time to kill before the flight home. Some went to Paula Deen's restaurant, some to Johnny Mercer's grave, and I looked for used book stores.

Thanks for the timely reminder, DR Ron Pulliam.

Speaking of KFC (as DR George was last night), it reminds me of the story of the man who went through the drive-in and ordered a breast and a thigh. The server asked him, "which side?" And he replied, "Interesting question. No one has ever asked me that. Um... the right side, I guess." And the server said, "No... potato salad or coleslaw?"

From George:

I (was voluntold by my sister but) said to my mom that I'd come over every couple of weeks to mow her lawn, but she said that she doesn't want that. She WANTS to mow her own lawn because she wants the exercise.

Good for your mother. Is it an easy lawn to mow?

Pretty easy. Each side of the front is just a smallish area and the back is at least half gardens that my mom created, so the mowing area is fairly small, too.

A propos the new Bernstein docu-pic:

Two New York dowagers are walking past a Lincoln Center billboard extolling Leonard Bernstein. One says, "I hear that Bernstein is gay." The other replies, "Is there *nothing* that man cannot do?"

I went to see Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil Live! It was in Tampa and it featured John Berendt with Lady Chablis and Emma, the lady of 1,000 songs. Margaret Whitling, Julius La Rosa, Claiborne Cary and more sang Johnny Mercer songs. The autograph line afterwards too hours. It was all fun. Campy. Silly.

I still have the Lady Chablis’s autobiography, Hiding My Candy.

The joint is busy. And someone just came forward to blow taps on a bugle. It was touching.

They've not only made all the adjustments to The Ratings Game CD credits that I asked for, they added me to the cover.

After serious consideration, I have decided going to the movies is out of the question. I have too many bodily misfunctions and I move too slowly to run to a men's room. I find this quite depressing to admit, but I think I must wait for the DVD.

Keith got it in four but not due to an oceanography class.

I started watching Turning Red. I guess I didn't realize the whole plot is about a girl starting to menstruate.

John G. · « **Reply #50 on:** May 30, 2022, 01:10:55 PM »

I guess I'm slow on the uptake.

Memorial Day greetings! It’s been a quiet holiday for us. Richard went to the ceremony at our local cemetery and, at 3pm, participated in #TapsAcrossAmerica. I was his videographer and you can see the result on Facebook (my page and Richard’s).

Well I am exposed....yes I am exposed.....but not like Leonard Whiting.

It turns out that someone I was working with closely tested positive for the COVID.

I tested myself and it was negative twice.....so I am isolating myself for five days and then will wear a mask for another week. Of course I will be unable to attend the opening night of OLIVER!

Jrand74 · « **Reply #57 on:** May 30, 2022, 02:55:21 PM »

I think any program featuring BOTH Julius LaRosa and Margaret Whiting would have been a must attend in my book.

Jrand74 · « **Reply #58 on:** May 30, 2022, 02:55:44 PM »

So it's nice to have five days off....from EVERYTHING.

Ginny · « **Reply #59 on:** May 30, 2022, 03:01:00 PM »

DR JRand, I’m hoping you remain negative. Enjoy your quarantine.
