Monday.

It is 49 degrees headed for 62 degrees.

I think no mail and no banking today.

Good morning, all.

Monday indeed.

One nice thing is that I've been given tonight off from rehearsal. They don't need music tonight.

And that's kind of a godsend.

Happy Veterans Day!

I watched "Foul Play" last night.

It's very entertaining, has good music, Barry Manilow singing a coupe of songs, a bit of The Mikado is in the mix and there is Goldie Hawn and Chevy (he looks like Bruce Kimmel) Chase.

Goldie is SO YOUNG in this film. I remember seeing it when it was released in 1978. When I look in a mirror, I still see myself as I was then although photographs inform me those days are LONG GONE.

While the movie is fun, it's also a bit convoluted, plot- and character-wise. And let me not leave out Dudley Moore in a wonderfully comic performance, nor omit Billy Barty as the dwarf Bible salesman who had one of the worst "accidents" on screen I have ever witnessed. And then there is Cooper Huckabee, rube from the sticks in the city (San Francisco) who gets treated to a "joy ride" that is a lot of fun.

Today being a national holiday, the post office is closed.

I have to start looking to see if local eateries are closed. I have food in the freezer, but will need to have some thaw time.

Haven't yet had coffee or a bagel. And I need to read up on my upcoming cataract procedure (i.e, when to start drops, what meds to stop takng, that kind of thing).

Glad you liked it. I just wanted more.

I understand that, but I sure loved what I got. I may watch it again this week, but I also want to see the Ian McKellan version now. It's on YouTube.

Sundae on a Monday?

This year, yes. Not last year or next, though.

I finished the pasta sauce. It's in containers in the fridge and freezer, and the kitchen is cleaned up. I'm exchausted.

We are waiting for the plumber to arrive and install a new garbage disposal. The current one is why we had a leak under our sink.

Jane · « **Reply #47 on:** November 11, 2024, 09:27:40 AM »

Fortunately I discovered the leak the day before we left on our trip instead of before our morning flight.

I like that Canadian Remembrance Day is on the same day as our Veterans Day.

Jane · « **Reply #49 on:** November 11, 2024, 09:30:55 AM »

Yay, the plumber is here. We were getting worried.

Re my being elected: The nominating committee is lucky to find one person for each spot. So everyone runs unopposed.

All of you are very kind to run.

Laura, I'm glad you were able to stop and enjoy the beach for a bit.

Jane · « **Reply #52 on:** November 11, 2024, 09:43:45 AM »

I love watching and listening to the waves.

John G. · « **Reply #53 on:** November 11, 2024, 09:45:46 AM »

Started watching the Ennio Morricone documentary. Highly recommended. I took a break at about 1:40. Another hour to go. He is there. Most of the talking heads — from Bertolucci to John Williams — are articulate. The archival footage is pertinent.

John G. · « **Reply #54 on:** November 11, 2024, 09:47:42 AM »

I want to track down several films, including one by Verneuil, the director BK mentioned in his notes today.

From George:

Actually, I deliberately (but not easily) saved half of it for later.

Good for you. Be sure to take your time and heat it in the oven so it still tastes delicious

Great that your final performance went well, George.

Yes it is.
