Three!

[John G.]

Off to start the day.

[Ron Pulliam]

I watched "The Prince and the Pauper" (Warner Brothers, 1937) on a streaming service (I forget which one) yesterday.

It was a lot of fun, and Errol Flynn was just as dashing as ever, and the Mauch twins, Billy and Bobby, were also fun.  Great cast of supporting characters, a massive production for its era.  And it had the extra majesty of an Erich Wolgang Korngold score for that extra OOMPH.

It is due out next month on a Warner Archives Blu-ray disc.  The streaming version was mighty fine, so it may have been that Blu-ray master that was used.

[Ron Pulliam]

Off to start the day.

Well, if you must, you must....

[Ron Pulliam]

Who is the one guest shadowing our proceedings this morning?

Would it not be just as easy to join us?

[Jrand74]

So many wonderful links in the posts today!

[Jrand74]

I watched SALTBURN last night.

Yes....well.....I liked it since I like that sort of thing. No real surprises but a few nice reveals......

I may watch it again.

[Ron Pulliam]

And not sorry grateful neither, to double that negative.

Me, too, neither!

[Freddie]

Stay healthy vibes to Chas!

[Freddie]

Thank you, Iris, for those links!

[Freddie]

Also thank you to George, for the links!

vixmom - Why will you not be having lunch today?

Who is the one guest shadowing our proceedings this morning?

Would it not be just as easy to join us?

At one point last week, there were 88 guests!

[Freddie]

I wonder if they're people who were just reading the notes.

[Freddie]

I remember a time about 20 years ago when I was aware of the notes and read those regularly.

[Freddie]

Especially for the trivia contest that was in the notes every week.

[Freddie]

And right now, there are 112 guests viewing the board.

Ron, I'd been pronouncing your name incorrectly (as if it had three syllables), and I'm glad you clarified it.

The trip to the basement was less painful than I estimated. I also discovered today that I can order NY State lottery tickets from my corner bodega, so I've got my tickets for tonight's Powerball.

Here is the entire show.

I have mixed thoughts.

Thanks for this link, Iris!

[George]

Ir's been quite a morning, so far. As soon as I sat dwn at the computer with my bowl of oatmeal, Annabelle leaped onto the table, knocking the bowl of oatmeal all over the keyboard and table top.

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!  No the oatmeal!

[George]

I don't usually do breakfast on a workday but I know I shan't get lunch today so..

Fried up some leftover mashed in butter  until hot  bubbling ( and squeaking ) then made a little nest and dropped in an egg .

Sprinkled with a little Sunny Paris, then covered until the egg was cooked to perfection.

That looks really good, Vixmom!

Since yesterday afternoon I have been fighting off a slightly scratchy throat. (Nathan is down with something, but he tested negative.) I believe I’m winning the battle, but I really don’t dare lose it because too much is at stake - with an upcoming concert and of course the cataract surgeries…for which my pre-op checkup is in five hours! So I have to get through today without an actual cold taking hold of me, then I’ll feel pretty confident that I have prevailed.

(I’ve learned that I must always watch myself carefully in December. It’s when I tend to be my most vulnerable when it comes to heavy schedule, changing weather, and general stress.)

~~~Stay Well Vibes for ChasSmith!!~~~

We don't want no postponin' of surgery.

Absolutely, no postponing of surgery vibes.

It was hard enough growing up being named "Pulliam".   It isn't an easy name for people to pronounce, and I hear "Pullum", "Pullman", "Pull...??" all the time.

I pronounce it correctlly for those folks and tell them it's just like "William"...only you "Pull" instead of "Will".

As a kid, I was called "Pullet" by some kids.  I didn't mind, but it was always puzzling why they couldn't just call me "Ron".

Way back when, I initially read your name as Pullum.  I quickly realized there was an i in there but had to retrain my brain to think Pullium.  I like how you tell people it is "Pull" vs "Will"
