Well, you've read the notes, you are ready to rest because it is Sunday, a day of rest, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're resting, too, and watching a moovie.

And a very happy haineshisway.com birthday cheer to crashdilly, who I think came here once or twice long ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Wow, Tom. That's a beautiful picture!

Well, I'm only caught up to Page Seven (of 13) of yesterday's posts, but I need to sleep...and hopefully, I will. I don't know if I mentioned it, but I hate having colds.

So, good night, to all.

True to life. DP Colin took the photo about an hour ago. Just outside our back door. (Not quite A Creedence Clearwater Revival reference).

Oh, yes, it's also Easter. Who knew? No one let me know, that's for certain. No one gives ME Easter bunnies or eggs - I shall now go eat some worms.

Sad to be passed over for Easter.

Good morning DR Elmore. Thoughts are still very much with you and your Father at this time.

Good morning, DR Tomovoz! And good morning, all! When I signed off last night, there were only 6 pages of notes, no I've just made my way through the remaining 7 pages.

Dr JRand55, yes, indeedy! MARATHON 33 was written by Miss June Havoc was based on her biography EARLY HAVOC and I believe the Broadway production starred Julie Harris. I was unfortunate to see a production in the 1970s, and I don't think it's a very good play. On the other hand, EARLY HAVOC is a wonderful book.

I've been reading this wonderful book about the Lincoln assassination, which is the only reason I knew that last Friday was the 159th anniversary of the assassnation. DRs interested in the motives behind the conspiracy to kidnap/kill Lincoln will enjoy this book. It's worh reading alone for the gripping chapter on the assassination attempt on Secretary of State Seward.

I've never heard the theory beforde that our DR Jose was to blame for CALIGULA but it's the only possible option! There was a wonderful bok written about the film, ULTIMATE PORN, by an assistant director, and the entire film sounds like the title of the book. Yes, I blame DR Jose!

Back to Toyland.

Thanks for the book recommendation DR ELMORE! Hmmm interesting.

Well we certainly had a frenzy last night....

And DRMBARNUM has a new canine companion! How wonderful....what lovely coloring! Congratulations to you on expanding your family!

Yes, MARATHON 33 by June Havoc is the play I was thinking of - mentioned by DR TCB, DR MATTH, and the above DR ELMORE.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #16 on:** April 16, 2006, 06:38:10 AM »

Lots of interesting movies and plays were mentioned last night, including KEYSTER PARADE and MY FARE, LADY.... I am sure the Netflix qeues will be a buzzing today with requests for these flicks.

Some time later I hope to get a photo of Blue in her Easter Chapeau....

HAPPY EASTER!

Blast-that-cold-away-Vibes to DR George!

Beautiful pictures, Tom (the parrots AND the international family of bears).

I'm going back to bed for a bit - but before I do, I've been meaning for the last few days to recommend a lovely film I saw a few days ago. THE CHILDREN ARE WATCHING US (Criterion). An early De Sica film. Made in 1942, but not released until '44.
I love movies made from a child's POV - and this one absolutely is. It stars a five-year-old Luciano de Ambrosis, a non-professional who is heartbreaking. Make sure to watch the interview on the DVD with the now 70-year-old Ambrosis to hear his recollections of making the film.

The parrots remind me of another recommendation - THE WILD PARROTS OF TELEGRAPH HILL, a truly wonderful documentary. I saw the docu and was raving about it to everyone I met. About a week later, I attended the Genesis Awards (BTW - I got a postcard yesterday saying the the awards will be broadcast on Animal Planet on Sat. May 6, 2 pm PT/5 pm ET - the animal lovers among you would enjoy it) - to get back to my point - and discovered that I was sharing a table with Mark Bittner, the subject of the film and Judy Irving, the director! It was terrific to be able to tell them how much I'd enjoyed the film. Here's a photo of us from that evening...

Good morning!

It was overcast when I went out to get the paper this morning, but the clouds have cleared away and again we have a cloudless blue sky, and it's already heating up. We're in for another scorcher today - near 90.

Matt H. · « **Reply #21 on:** April 16, 2006, 07:23:19 AM »

And Happy Easter for those who celebrate it. I will have some M&M Peanuts today to mark the occasion!

Matt H. · « **Reply #22 on:** April 16, 2006, 07:24:33 AM »

And we have an evening of new programming, too, at least for the shows I normally watch: COLD CASE, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, LAW & ORDER: CI, CROSSING JORDAN. And THE SOPRANOS, of course.

Carol Burnett guest stars tonight on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES as Bree's stepmother. That should be fun.

Matt H. · « **Reply #23 on:** April 16, 2006, 07:26:29 AM »

I've got RENT cued up to watch this afternoon, and I'm waffling about what else this afternoon. I went through a lengthy period last week of black and white movies which I loved, but I wanted to see some color and widescreen this weekend. RENT will certainly fit the bill, and I just haven't chosen what's to be next after it.

Next week, I'll get back to Mae West's GOIN' TO TOWN and Alice Faye's FALLEN ANGEL.

Gorgeous King Parrots, BTW, DR Tomovoz.

Easter morning greetings!

Do you know how to get me wide awake in the middle of the night? Have the phone ring at 12:30am and hear DH Richard say, "What do you mean DEAD?" to the person on the other end. That person was our DS Rob, who was on his way home from Cincinnati and his car was dead on the side of I-75 just south of here. We dispatched a tow truck and Richard went to pick up Rob. I think I went back to sleep about 3.

Anyway, it was delightful this morning to find photos of DR MBarnum's Bosco, DR Tomovoz's bears and birds, and DR Maria's dog and dinner companions.

Now I have to pull together an Easter celebration for our family.

Heading down a bit earlier than usual to get started on Sunday laundry chores and lunch preparation.

DR MATTH did you ever find Dirk Bogarde's A TALE OF TWO CITIES?

Jrand73 · « **Reply #28 on:** April 16, 2006, 08:22:19 AM »

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr...Blue has taken it on the lam.

Off to scour the neighborhood.

BK - How nice that you mentioned crashdilly's birthday. I spent crashdilly's birthday with her last year (when a little group of us went to see Barbara Cook at the Carlyle) but haven't seen her since she did an absolutely lovely job performing in a Gilbert & Sullivan revue a couple of months back. I emailed her birthday wishes this morning and I'm sure she'll be happy to know she's still sent birthday wishes on this here site.
