Thank goodness I had just seen them at the market shopping with their mother. 

[Jane]

Not only was I relieved they had arrived the day before, but thankful I did not need to call my friend and ask about her girls.

All this news today on the Lockerbie bomber has reminded me that I spoke to one of the victims a day before the tragedy.

One victim was an actress who’d played Luisa in a production of The Fantasticks I’d seen the year before.

[Jane]

It seems others didn't want to call her either and I received a number of calls that day from concerned friends asking about them

I love this! Cat mosaics from Pompeii.

How did they get the cats to pose?

Back from the bank, picking up no packages, and Gelson's where, of course, I forgot to get a 9-volt battery. It's not beeping, so that's good, but I did an Instacart order from Ralph's and that'll be here in an hour and will have two 9-volt batteries.  Instacart sent me two $20 off coupons.

One thing I learned on the inner web last week is that the son of actor David White - who played Larry Tate, Darren's boss on Bewitched - was on that plane as well.....

He did not move on and spent the rest of his life looking for someone to blame.....a very difficult thing.....sad.

That is heartbreaking.

That's really cool!

Well, my Holiday Overture got a hearing yesterday in Glasgow with the Royal Scottish Orchestra, conducted by Michael England with Gina Beck, Alice Fearn, Rob Houchen, Scott Davies, and the City of Glasgow Chorus.

Congrats, Larry!!

I cannot remember now if she were British or American, but she was a book rep who had called the Drama Book Shop to speak to the owners who were friends. I had met her previously, and I answered the phone. I told her her that Arthur and Rozanne were out, and she said there was no message. She'd see them when she got to Manhattan.

Driving has gotten worse as the season progresses. Just horrible. I couldn’t change lanes earlier because a car doing about 20 mph over the speed limit came out of nowhere and crossed into the lane I wanted to enter.

Then a tow truck drove straight across four lanes without a turn signal or a care that four cars were all headed at him.

I am glad you are paying attention.  I am a bit surprised about the tow truck driver.

It was difficult responding to all of my FB birthday wishes using my tablet.  I think I have now thanked everyone that sent me birthday wishes.

[Jane]

I took advantage of my flights to read the book on my Kindle I have been saving for the Christmas season. 

[Jane]

Last night, since I can't read my Kindle books at night I switched to a different book.

[Jane]

Then today I finished reading the Kindle book while on the treadmill at the gym.

[Jane]

Bruce, I am glad I saved "Tis the Season to Be Murdered" until this month.  It was a perfect book to read during my birthday trip.

[Jane]

And to get into the spirit of Christmas.

Great photos DR ELMORE.

Of course now I am singing Pompeii Cats to the tune of Nashville Cats....

Well this afternoon I started watch a French Movie from France on TCM at 5 p.m.

It was titled Confidentially Yours and starred Fanny Ardant.  I became a fan of Fanny after reading years ago what MR BK wrote about a different French film 8 WOMEN.

After watching 8 WOMEN I was smitten.  This 1983 French Film Noir features Ardant trying to prove her boss John Louis Trintenant did not murder his own wife.  I highly recommend CONFIDENTIALLY YOURS which should be available on TCM ON DEMAND in the next few days.

[Jrand74]

The first French Film from France that I remember MR BK writing about - and it could have been in the 20th century was Les uns et les autres. It also features Ms Ardant in a role. 

Of course I immediately bought the DVD and was blown away.  It is still one of my top ten films.  If you were not around to read MR BK's review of that film do a search.....OR just buy the damned thing.

Now I want to watch it again.
