I just come here for the novelty coffee mugs and their trenchant commentary on the little ironies of everyday life.

Franz Waxman!

Yes.

I saw "Career" on NBC's Saturday Night at the Movies" or, perhaps after they began "Monday Night at the Movies".  That was great in the early 60s to see stuff I'd never seen or heard of but which had been major films from the 1950s.  They first started with Fox titles, and they moved on to MGM and Paramount titles. 

We are now spoiled, I guess, by such channels at Turner Classic Movies and loads of other venues for watching film, including YouTube, which has some really terrific films free of charge.

Terrific night of sleep.  Dreams aplenty and slightly weird but nothing negative or puzzling.

It's a gorgeous day here in Johnston, South Carolina...a small dot on the map of the CSRA.  That's okay.  We like being out of the spotlight here.  Living is easy, folks move along slower than in cities and big towns, and we get along. 

People here wave at you if they drive by your house and you are in your yard; they wave when they pass you in your car; folks speak to you in public with civility.  The grammar is quite often horrifying, but you don't let them know about that.

I don't know if I should be doing this, but I have been driving a bit "without" my eyeglasses.

Yesterday, I found I did not require sunglasses. 

It's a freedom I have not known before.  I like it.

I eagerly await Dec. 12th for my second surgery!!!

I watched a movie ONDEMAND on TCM last night.....28 Paces To Baker Street...
it was bad bad bad.....the whole plot didn't make any sense.....and the leading man was directly responsible for the death of two people.....whereupon he said something like "Ooops.....my bad....."

Bad all around.

This morning’s noir is Call Northside 777. James Stewart as a reporter looking into an old case.

Both Call Northside and 23 Paces were Henry Hathaway movies.

A Russian ballet dancer fell out of a fifth story window and died.  In Russia, they don't mess around, boy!

People over there seem to have a lot of trouble with balance, especially in high places, don't they?

Vixmom, I saw your post yesterday "I did indeed get to the church in time", however, I did not see the nice photo with it until George commented on it.

People don’t call it Hell Week like they used to ten or twenty years ago. Now it’s just Tech Week. Even in schools. Maybe it’s time to bring Hell Week back.

Over here it's still Hell Week. I'm starting mine for our Hanson / Copland chorus concerts this weekend. Concert hell weeks aren't nearly as brutal as opera hell weeks, but it's still pretty intense.
