Elmore, I have two copies of Bergman’s Magic Flute on DVD. If you’d like one, it’s yours.

I  have the old DVD, but I want the Criterion blu-ray.

Sorry. B&N’s 50% off sale will have to help you.

Thatch, Stella, and I just watched Water for Elephants, which I really enjoyed. My friend Jim Norton, who played Finian in the 2009 Finian's Rainbow Broadway revival, has a wonderful role as a dying roustabout.

We finished watching the 3 seasons of Happy Valley. Very dark, but very good. James Norton in a role completely different than the one he played in Grantchester.

I have been listening to Flaherty and Ahrens’s score for Knoxville a few times recently. I really love it.

Mel Gibson isn't someone I think about or look for. I've enjoyed him fine in Lethal Weapon (I've only seen the first two) and Signs, but nothing else I might have known him in comes to mind. I never saw the other ones named here because the movies themselves didn't interest me...though there might be one or two I should see.


OMG!   SIGNS!!!  I love this film!!

New Indiana Jones underwhelming at the box office so far.

$24 million in its first day (yesterday).  I don't know how wide its opening was or what was expected.  Only time will tell with the 4th of July weekend looming.

It likely will be a major uphill battle to make back what it cost ($245 million!!!).

I re-watched "Glass Onion" this afternoon.  It's always a rewarding watch. I caught more things I had missed in past viewings.

It's 93 degrees and not a breeze to be found anywhere.

Quite warm.

Air Quality is 64...better than previous days, but still high.  We are still getting air pollution from Canadian smoke.

No problem there.  HVAC is set on 72 degrees.  It's very comfortable in the house.

I could have been in and out of there in an hour, but Barry likes to schmooze with people whether he knows them or not, so we spent a lot of time doing that. But I met some wonderful folks, most importantly Kristy McNichol, who looks great at sixty. I told her the story of how we first met - at the Playboy Mansion back in 1982 or thereabouts - in the game room, me playing Frogger, her making out with whichever female she was with. She loved the story. Also, Walter Koenig, who knew my work from my acting days - he was very sweet. My old pal Leslie Eastabrook, who was in my show Start at the Top, Carol Its White, spent time yakking with George Chakiris, who has finally let his hair and beard go natural - full gray - and he looks great. I don't think he's sold on the look yet, but both Barry and I were effusive in our praise. Then we spent some nice time with Adrian Zmed and that was fun, plus some nice time with Donna Pescow. There were others I didn't really know and I don't remember their names. Barry also spoke for a brief minute to William Shatner who I was surprised to see had no line at all.

Prior to that, I had breakfast with Yacko at a place near him - I'd been there a couple of times before. Had the best omelet I've ever had - simple, perfect size, and so tasty - bacon and cheese, along with some excellent hash browns.

Barry and I went to the Daily Grill for lunch. We both had exactly the same thing - cup of clam chowder and a wedge salad with ranch dressing - very good.

Barry wanted to say bye to another couple of people and I have no doubt he's still there.

The shocker was the admission price for one day - 30 bucks. And had I not lucked out, it would have been another ten for parking.

But I pulled in where I usually do and both entrance and exit arms were up. So, I parked near the medical building that's close to the Marriott and exited that same way, avoiding the gate they want you to exit from, where they charge.

I stopped at the mail place and thankfully both important envelopes were there. Now, hopefully banks are open on Monday.
