Title: THE POLAR OPPOSITE
Post by: bk on May 05, 2021, 12:02:24 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes were both polar and opposite, and now it is time for you to post until the polar cows come home.
Title: Re: THE POLAR OPPOSITE
Post by: bk on May 05, 2021, 12:02:54 AM: And the word of the day is: SPRIGHTLY!
Title: Re: THE POLAR OPPOSITE
Post by: bk on May 05, 2021, 12:05:50 AM: Whew, added our birthday boy to the notes just in the nick of time.
Title: Re: THE POLAR OPPOSITE
Post by: bk on May 05, 2021, 12:08:32 AM: George, my bad on the Kindle pricing - they asked what the list price was and I thought you had to put the hardcover list price. I just changed it to 9.99 and hopefully it will update shortly, in case anyone wants to be the first to read such a book as Some Days Are Murder.
Title: Re: THE POLAR OPPOSITE
Post by: George on May 05, 2021, 12:12:50 AM: I was hoping to read it on my Kindle before getting the hardcover. I have for many of your other books. :)

Title: Re: THE POLAR OPPOSITE
Post by: Jrand74 on May 05, 2021, 06:05:38 AM: DR TCB she made some absolutely crazy town statements about THE SEARCHERS and John Wayne when they showed that movie during PC Month.....Ben Mankiewicz and the Noir Guy Eddie Muller were both a bit taken aback by her virulent comments, but she just continued to display herself..... Up until then, Alicia Malone had been one of my favorite TCM hosts....up until then.

Although John Wayne's politics are well known and well to the right - she was way off base. Ben ended it with something like: "....well he was playing a part in a movie that he didn't write or direct....."

He walked over to me, sniffed my hand, and after a moment's thought, he put his head under my palm. He did that a few times....always vocalizing....then he finally laid down on his back, but I couldn't reach down to rub his belly. Maybe next time.

Title: Re: THE POLAR OPPOSITE
Post by: John G. on May 05, 2021, 08:27:27 PM: That opera was a really nice surprise. The librettist trimmed the story down to the barest essentials. Polonius wasn't really a character, neither were Horatio or Laertes. No Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. It was down to Hamlet, Ophelia, Gertrude, Claudius and the ghost. But it left enough room for some wonderful music, some strong characters and some really terrific voices.

I should have mentioned last night that many of the actual Titanic photos were taken by a Jesuit priest, Francis Browne, who sailed from Southampton to Queenstown on the Titanic before getting off the ship. The two day trip was a present from a relative.

He was lucky it was only 2 days.

Actually, Father Francis met a couple at dinner the first night onboard. They were so impressed by the priest that they offered to pay for his ticket for the remainder of the voyage and his return to the UK.

Fortunately (for him), when he sent a message asking permission, he received back almost immediately a reply telling him to GET OFF THAT SHIP - NOW!
