I do hope I'm not getting sick. I was around someone briefly who got a sore throat and that's what I feel like I'm getting - popping Sambucol as a preventative.

No-sickness vibes for BK!

~~~SUPER DITTO!!~~~

Oh, look! It's Page Seven!!

So today, I did something that I've been wanting to do for YEARS!

George · « **Reply #183 on:** October 06, 2024, 12:33:31 AM »

And what is that, you may ask?

George · « **Reply #184 on:** October 06, 2024, 12:33:49 AM »

Well, let me tell you...

George · « **Reply #185 on:** October 06, 2024, 12:35:13 AM »

I've always been cluttered, and haven't been very organized, so, I pulled a bunch of very specificly related books and FINALLY put them all together on one shelf!

George · « **Reply #186 on:** October 06, 2024, 12:35:38 AM »

And here they are!

George · « **Reply #187 on:** October 06, 2024, 12:37:33 AM »

They are all of my personally autographed copies of BK's books, and they're in chronological order by date of publication!

Now, you may notice that on the far left, there are two sets of the first three Benjamin Kritzer books.

George · « **Reply #189 on:** October 06, 2024, 12:42:19 AM »

One set is made up of the copies that I got when each was originally published, and the second set is the set that I bought for my dad for his birthday one year, since he also grew up in the LA area in the 1950s (although he was nine years older than BK).

Ans it's difficult to see, but on the far right is my personally autographed copy of (former) DR PennyO's book, Jewish Thighs on Broadway: Misadventures of a Little Trouper.

It's almost 1:00 in the a.m. I wonder where BK is. $:-\$

bk · « **Reply #195 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:30:00 AM »

That's an impressive collection!

bk · « **Reply #196 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:30:06 AM »

Fun to see.

bk · « **Reply #197 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:30:18 AM »

The page that shall not be named is NOT fun to see.

bk · « **Reply #198 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:30:33 AM »

Btu we'll now do something about that.

bk · « **Reply #199 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:31:13 AM »

I got hung up watching a motion picture, hence the lateness of the notes.

bk · « **Reply #200 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:31:20 AM »

New notes are up.

bk · « **Reply #201 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:31:27 AM »

Up are new notes.

bk · « **Reply #202 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:31:33 AM »

I've seen them.

bk · « **Reply #203 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:31:39 AM »

I've read them.

bk · « **Reply #204 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:31:50 AM »

I wrote them.

bk · « **Reply #205 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:32:42 AM »

They cover a lot of territory.

bk · « **Reply #206 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:32:54 AM »

Like the Oaks of Sherman, which I never left.

bk · « **Reply #207 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:33:17 AM »

I was home all day and evening, just as I shall be this day.

bk · « **Reply #208 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:33:51 AM »

I sense a page eight waiting in the wings.

bk · « **Reply #209 on:** October 06, 2024, 01:34:06 AM »

Is there gaslighting going on?
