Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in their proper ratio, and now it is time for you to post until the proper cows come home.

[bk]

And the word of the day is: HALLMARK!

[George]

Here are the two discs of the new Spirited Away Blu-ray set:

BK, I was just about to ask what was the name of the other movie that you'd never watched on home video for the same reason as Pete ‘N’ Tillie, but then you finally mention the title in the last paragraph of your notes, but not in the paragraph where you actually talk about it.

Good morning, all!

[elmore3003]

I slept rather well, and I'm still surprised at that.

[elmore3003]

DR George, she looks like Margaret Thatcher!

I have no idea what I am up to today. Joshie has not responded to my phoe calls, and I hope he's not pissed that I missed our session on Thursday. I had hoped we could work today, but we clearly are not. I may drag out the DVD for Howards End, which I've never seen, and watch it with the cats. I have fallen in love with this number, and now I want to see Broadway Melody of 1936. June Knight played Karen O'Kane the year before in Jubilee and sang "Begin the Beguine" and "Just One of Those Things."
I had no idea Robert Taylor sang!

I cannot get enough of this song!

Good morning, all.

[John G.]

Great clip, Elmore. I don’t think I have ever seen that one before.

[John G.]

Apparently they had another number in the film: https://roberttayloractor.blog/tag/june-knight/

[John G.]

And according to imdb, that number won an Oscar for best dance direction

A.S. Byatt has died. I loved Possession, like Angels and Insects.

Saturday morning greetings!  Just checking to let y’all know that we’re alive and well and keyholders for our new home.  We signed a gazillion papers yesterday and wrote a couple of big checks.  When we went to our cars to drive over for our first official look there was a rainbow overhead.  I think that’s a good sign!

A woman has staged a revival of The Lieutenant in honor of her late father who was lead guitarist on the show. She mentioned an original cast recording of it. I didn’t know one had been made. Has anybody heard it?

I think that’s a great sign. Congratulations and may you enjoy your new life there.

I want pictures.

Here’s the article on The Lieutenant

Good morning, all.

[ChasSmith]

Congratulations, and Welcome Home to DR Ginny and DH Richard!

[ChasSmith]

I have never seen PETE 'N' TILLIE.

I have also never seen TOYS IN THE ATTIC.

Clearly, I'm depraved on account of I'm deprived.

[Ginny]

I want pictures.

DR John G, there’s one picture on my Facebook page.  If someone would like to post it here I’d be very grateful.

[Ginny]

Thank you, DRs John G and ChasSmith!  Overall we’re very pleased with the renovations.  I’m not crazy about he ceiling fans they put in the study/library, but neither is Ashley (our move-in coordinator).  She’s going to try to get them switched.

[ChasSmith]

I actually remember wanting to see TOYS IN THE ATTIC as a kid, but to my knowledge and memory, it never happened.

And what BK describes has happened on other plays-to-films: the shortening, the adding of material, and yet the brilliance in casting or directing or photography, or hopefully all three.

So what you wind up with is two separate great works that you wish could have somehow been combined. Does that make any sense? I'm still on my first cup of coffee, and I'm already ready for

More coffee!

[ChasSmith]

Here it is!

[Ginny]

Thank you, DR ChasSmith!  This is a “before” picture that I took in May.  The only exterior differences are repairs to the driveway, sidewalk, and retaining wall.  There’s also been some painting done, including the front door.  It’s blue now, almost the same color as the house from which we’re moving.

[singdaw]

Good morning, friends.

[singdaw]

Congratulations, DR Ginny, and may you both enjoy your new home in good health.

[Ginny]

Thank you, DR Singdaw.  We plan to - if the move doesn’t kill us.
