DR John G, how did you find the Anthony Hopkins King Lear?

Great cast. The play was poorly truncated.

I meant: where did you find it on the internet?

On YouTube. Let me look for it

Here you go.

[John G.]

Five!

The posters and reviews of coming attractions were an odd mix. Everything was about Wicked. Then there is a Catholic movie about Mary that liked dreadful. Another is a bioflick called Bonhoeffer, about the minister who joined a plot to kill Hitler.

[Freddie]

Maybe the gremlins removed it.

Now that's what you'd call effective gaslighting!

[Freddie]

John G, congratulations on passing your 95,000-post millstone!

Ditto!!  I'm sorry I missed the actual moment!  But at least there's this:

That makes it official, in case the 20,000 Guests reading this in fifty years were wondering.

[Freddie]

He's rehearsing another show here in Olympia, so picking him up is no problem, either.

That's really nice!

Leonard told me someone was coming up the driveway. She saw the note I put on the door: "We have already voted and will not discuss it with anybody." Then she left.

We stopped for ice cream and I decided to try the chocolate.   It had nuts in it.  Nothing on the label mentioned nuts.  I do not .Ike the feel or taste of nuts in my ice cream and threw most of it away. Dsigh.

That's too bad!

Saturday evening greetings!  Late getting here because we went on a field trip with some friends to Ohio’s newest state park, Great Council just north of Xenia.  Home just in time for the Michigan/Oregon game which just ended - badly.

[Ginny]

DR Vixmom, I’m so sorry to hear about your cousin’s wife. 

[Ginny]

DR JRand, I was surprised when the awful story about your friend was from a Cincinnati TV station.  I hope there’s a resolution soon.

[Ginny]

TOD - when my mother lived in Phoenix we enjoyed the bran muffins from the Safeway bakery.  I could go for one right now with cream cheese…

DR Jrand:

How is it possible that the Indiana Hoosiers football team remains UNDEFEATED?


Yes, I know you don't "do" football, but does anyone you know comment on it or get excited by it?

[Ron Pulliam]

It has been a very low-key day for me.

I took some stuff to our local recycling center.  I stopped at Mickey D's and had a cheese-less quarter-pounder with fries and a large Dr. Pepper.  It was all extremely delicious.

I am desperately trying to remain "detached" from the final days before election day.  The folks who hit you up via texts for donations have upped their game, but I have sent each a comment that I'm tapped out donations-wise.   One was pleading that he was way behind and absolutely HAD to have my monetary support.  I commiserated but replied "too little, too late." If he hasn't done what he needs to do by now, there is no hope.

That person was not from my home state.  In fact, none of them are.

[Ron Pulliam]

I have a pro-Trump cousin from Virginia who lives in Atlanta.  He went home Friday and took his mom, my first cousin Vivian who is a life-long Democrat, to vote. My cousin is in the early stages of dementia.

Her persuaded her to vote for Trump.  His sister messaged me about this.  She is very upset.  Her brother convinced his addled mom that the country isn't ready for a "lady president".

He is immune to reason or truth.  And he's been a true "loser" most of his adult life, so I guess he sees Trump as a kindred spirit.

[George]

Today, I'm picking up one of the actors in An Inspector Calls and will drive him to the show and home.  He lives in Lacey, so to drop him off is on my way home. 

That's very nice of you.

Yes, it is.

[George]

We stopped for ice cream and I decided to try the chocolate.   It had nuts in it.  Nothing on the label mentioned nuts.  I do not .Ike the feel or taste of nuts in my ice cream and threw most of it away. Dsigh.

How rude!

[Ron Pulliam]

On a more upbeat note:

I watched a new documentary on John Williams on Disney plus last night.  It's about 1 hour 45 minutes and covers a large swath of Williams' career. 

John Williams is a very private man and a bit shy, but his participation in the documentary is very touching and illuminating.  While it is generous in covering his career, it could have easily gone another hour discussing his earlier experiences in Hollywood as well as covering some of his great scores that weren't even mentioned ("Jane Eyre", and "The Witches of Eastwick").

The documentary has many executive producers as well as comments from major Hollywood figures in both music and filmmaking. 

[Ron Pulliam]

And that's it.  That's all I know for now.

I can do or say no more.

There's some glitch about the DMV and when you got your driver's license and when you registered to vote. People affected got their driver's licenses before 1996.

I thought the issue was sorted out.  Can you go online and see the status of your ballot?

They did, I thought. Everyone is allowed to vote this time. But this ruling turning over the names was just made yesterday.

It doesn't mean non-citizens are voting. It just has to do with when you got your driver's license and when you registered to vote, since most of us did both at the same time.

That's terrible!

We're at 10 minutes to places!
