Finally restarted and did an update while I was at it. That took fifteen minutes and it still hasn't quite loaded everything. And now Zoom is doing an update that's taking ten minutes. I've about had it with all these auto updates - they're relentless.

Also read 150 pages in From Here to Eternity. It’s taking me an eternity to finish. But it’s a good book to get lost in while traveling. I’m up to page 500. Less than 300 to go.

“I've long thought that his studio, with the piano, should be recreated for the Smithsonian, like Julia Child's kitchen.”

Someone posted this about Sondheim’s studio on ATC.
I like that idea.

Julia Child’s studio was right next to the studio for the kids show ZOOM.

I watched a Michael Shayne movie called Sleepers West on YouTube last night. A train-based adventure that unfortunately goes off the rails literally and figuratively in its hasty conclusion. Programmers, amiright? Lloyd Nolan starred with Lynn Bari and the captivating Mary Beth Hughes.

Louis Jean Heydt was captivating also. I learned that he later died in the middle of a performance of a play he was starring in with a young Jane Fonda.

Don Costello played the heavy. He died four years later of an accidental sleeping pill overdose. Sleepers West, indeed.

It was easy to think I was confused since I did mention I understood about the first confusion

Now I'm confused about the confusion.

Confusion over what?

I am halfway through Season 2 of "Rome".

I have spent quite a bit of time looking up biographical information on various characters, including Octavian (Augustus Caesar), his mother Atia, his sister and his brother-in-law Agrippa.

Casting surprise: Agrippa is played by Allen Leech, the actor who played Tom Branson, the chauffeur in "Downton Abbey".

"Rome" was an incredibly ambitious and supremely satisfying accomplishment that played loosely with fact about folks, but stayed true to what is known of the times. The production values are astonishing/astounding. If it had not been so expensive to produce, HBO would likely have given it another season or two.

Casting kudos: David Bamber as Cicero. The man is a superb actor. And the late Ray Stevenson as Pullo is wonderful, as well.

I love the entire cast, especially Kevin McKidd as Vorenus. He had an impossibly complex man to portray. Vorenus was a man of morals and loyalty and found himself caught up in the cross hairs of Roman civil unrest. He was astonishing.

All right. My frenzy is expended.

Sleep is beckoning.

Stay safe, sleep well, and dream wonderful dreams, all.

John, you could just watch the musical.

So some friends of mine called and asked to join them downtown, so I shall. I'm sure I won't be back until after the day changes, so don't expect me.

Wait a damn minute. Suddenly George is a night owl and goes out to stuff his face with food and liquor rather than be here for the change of the day?
