DR TCB I watched SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON on Monday. I hadn't seen it for quite awhile either....I liked it a lot. Except for one cast member, I enjoyed everybody.
And it made me think that Dorothy McGuire has been the movie mother of Tommy Kirk & Kevin Corcoran (three times), James MacArthur, Anthony Perkins, Richard Eyer, Connie Stevens, Troy Donahue, and Nick Nolte - among others.
Amor Towles has a new book out, The Lincoln Highway. Looking forward to it.
I really liked A Gentleman in Moscow, which I read is being turned into a miniseries.
We may lose 100 state patrol officers on October 18.
If you were a pregnant woman would you go to a doctor who has been exposed to German measles?
From DR John:QuoteAmor Towles has a new book out, The Lincoln Highway. Looking forward to it.
So am I.

I heard a real commercial blooper this morning, and when it replayed several hours later, I confirmed it. Someone in the commercial agency really blew it.
I believe what the announcer was implying was "So, if you or someone you know . . ." but instead the announcer says, "So, if you or your man suffers from erectile dysfunction . . ."

The Towles book is not available at my library yet.

Do you have an option to recommend it? My library that has multiple copies has had it all along, the other library with one copy only recently got the book. I am referring to eBooks. I have no idea about hard copies.
One of the best parts of the afternoon is remembering you have Cherry Garcia in the freezer.

Everyone is talking about books.
I ordered a couple of plays to read since MR BK has been reading plays, I have been inspired to see what's out there.
The haven't arrived yet so I bought a book at the Goodwill store to read in the meantime.
It is remarkable how uninterested I am in the life of Winston Churchill. It seemed like a good idea at the time for $2.49 less my 30% senior discount. It was not.
It seems that former DR JMK is music directing the stage version of King of Hearts. I saw the original Broadway production.
That's an amazing piece of footage, bk. Thanks for sharing!
I am trying to decide if I want to read the biography of Tom Stoppard.
In the meantime, for you viewing pleasure watch THIS: Wilshire Boulevard - the Miracle Mile - 1951 - the week of August 1 to be exact. Note how empty much of it is. Note that they were selling BOMB SHELTERS in 1951! Note Du-Par's - which, just eight or nine months earlier had been the Kiru Cafe, my father's second restaurant! Note the La Brea tarpits, most of which would be gone in 1964 when they built the Museum of Modern Art. https://youtu.be/5fL8n_aAisQ

Ditto!

That's cool! I really like the cast recording.
This is cool...Hello, Gorgeous! Get your first look at Beanie Feldstein as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl (https://ew.com/theater/beanie-feldstein-funny-girl-first-look/).
There were 18 people in the country class.
And the word of the day is: GRAMARYE!
And I don't care who knows it.
I certainly enjoyed MR BK's story in the notes about SAILORS!

I thought there was another musical based on it. Sorry.
Sorry. I was thinking of KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS, which is A GENTLEMEN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND MURDER.
I was close.
