Three.

[singdaw]

I had my annual physical early this morning.

[singdaw]

My results were not as positive as DR John G.'s.

[singdaw]

I have homework to do, and then a follow-up in 3 months.

[John G.]

He said I mumble though so he couldn’t understand anything I said

TOD:

Bespectacled Burgess Meredith as the last man on earth
Barbara Cook as an evil one.
To Serve Mankind

What's that in reference to? I can't find her listed in any Twilight Zone episode. There was, however, an Alfred Hitchcock one. I'll have to take those off the shelf and watch that one.

You’re right. It was Hitchcock. My mistake.

[John G.]

Yes, I remember Twilight Zone on Friday nights with great fondness. For a while, that made Friday the best TV night for me. And for just one brief season, it was followed by Roald Dahl's Way Out.

Not Mr. Incorrect himself! The horrors! Protect the children!

[John G.]

I have no memory of my dreams but Vixdad claims I was chatting all night

I am told by a fairly reliable source that I yelled out "Oh, F**k!" in the middle of the night a few nights ago. I have no memory of this, or what might have triggered it.

Wow! I have never yelled out a * in all my life.

[Jane]

DR TCB, it was wonderful to see you last night.

From John:

JB was in a playful mood. He attacked a slipper and was swinging around on it.

[John G.]

I read today that one way they purged Roald Dahl was to change Matilda. Instead of going to India with Kipling, she goes to California with Steinbeck.

This morning, he attacked me. Not nice.

  Roald Dahl 

The proposed editing of his published works so as "not to offend anyone" is so ludicrous. One publisher has resolved to re-issue all the works in their original versions so as to preserve them.

[Jane]

Vibes DR WFO escapes rehab today.

[Jane]

DR Rodzinski, it doesn't seem right you have to give personal information to some collection agency.

Vibes all goes well and you will be done with this soon.

[John G.]

That is great.

[Jane]

He said I mumble though so he couldn’t understand anything I said

Darn.

Homework is usually hard to do.

It reminds me of the uproar in Ashland over The Taming of the Shrew and that the Shakespeare Festival should not preform it.

I dare not even think upon that whole thing. My brain would explode.

If only we lived in a world in which those new editions would be unceremoniously, unanimously, BOYCOTTED.
(Yeah, keep on dreaming.)

Just found this in my collection of slides, from when I shot slides instead of prints in the mid-late 1970s:

VOGUE RECORDS in Westwood, taken from the restaurant across the street that I'm thinking was called Yesterday's. (Can someone confirm or deny that? I might be conflating its name with another restaurant elsewhere.) What's going on down there on the street is an art show they'd have maybe a couple of times per year. Lots of arts and crafts stuff to buy, and I honestly don't remember if I ever brought home anything from it. But I might have other pictures taken during those shows, which may hopefully yield some more treasure.

[Rodzinski]
