Coup de Chance is my favorite Woody Allen in more than 20 years. It wasn't great, but it was enjoyable.

The score actually included an instrumental version of a song from Here's Love, the mother-daughter number Arm in Arm.

I, too, am watching that on TCM. It’s looking great, and it’s been several years since I’ve seen it. But I doubt I’ll be awake for long.

I'm now ignoring BK's advice and watching Saturday Night. It's possibly worse than he said. It's smug and insufferable. I like the guy playing Garrett Morris.

DR Rodzinski, that’s great to hear, about your fixing up the turntable. You have probably told us already and I apologize for not recalling, but what kind is it? I have two, and I’m embarrassed to say they both need work.


It is a Technics sl-1600 from the 1970s. Refurbished at some point. I bought it in Delaware.

Thank you. I don't know the different models but I often wished I'd gotten a Technics back when it was possible to do so at a good price. They're so highly thought of.

My two are the AR ES-1 from the mid-1980s which I bought new in 1990, and a Dual 1019 from the 1960s that I found in beautiful condition at a community thrift shop. I have an updated, improved motor to install on the AR, I just need to plan a day to install it. The Dual worked well for a while but it needs the whole megillah in refurbishment by a pro. It's in gorgeous cosmetic condition and still works well enough that I know it'll repair beautifully.



Two solid tables. Wonder what your Dual needs in terms of refurbishing.

It probably needs a new idler wheel, and the thing they call a steuerpimple that may or may not be unique to Duals. And probably some grease cleanup and replacement. I might find these are not impossible for me to do, but I wouldn’t try it if not assured of that. They’re a bit complicated to work on.

Been proofing all night and am only at chapter four. Yikes. I thought we'd caught everything on the last go round but no, finding way too many things we didn't catch.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

Hi, Jane.

Did you ever try Natural Ophthalmics Women’s Tear Stimulation pellets? I don’t use it much, but it always helps when I do. It’s not instant relief like eye drops — you need to give it a day or two to start working. But it does work. You might want to take it once a week for a while, supplemented by eye drops. It may be hard to find, though.

I have not and you are correct, it is difficult to find.

Good luck, Jane!

Andy Weir fans, did you read Artemis, and if so did you like it?

I liked it, but it's my least favorite of the three books that he's written.
