Well, you've read the notes, the notes had soup and nuts, and now it is time for you to post until the nutty cows come home.

And the word of the day is: GLEAM!

“Endgame” from CHESS, 1990 Long Beach…Robert Yacko is superb.

Hello Iris! So nice to see you here.
-
Thanks for the video links, Iris!
-
Hello, Rodzinski!
-
Nice to see ya, DR DR Iris!!!
-
~~~CONTINUED HEALING VIBES~~~
-
Good morning, friends.
-
And others.
-
Thursday.
-
Ce n'est pas?
-
If everything is going according to Hoyle, DR Jeanne should be in escrow by now.
-
TOD:
Love soup!
Some favorites:
Butternut Squash
Split Pea
Gazpacho
Chicken/Wild Rice
-
It's great to see you here, Iris!
-
Good morning, all!
-
Soup, or bisque?
-
That is the question.
-
9/11 today. Twenty-four years ago, I was sitting in a recording studio with Donna Lynn Champ. Very shortly, today,lin, Hugh Panaro, George Dvorsky, Jack Dabdoub, John McGlinn, and the London Sinfonietta. Shortly today, the memorials will begin. This is always a sad day for me.
-
DR Iris, welcome back! Your presence cheers me up.
-
TOD:
Matzoh ball soup
Most versions of French onion soup with the piece if bread on it and cheese on top
Lobster bisque
And the now-gone Pietrasanta restaurant on 47th and 9th had a great soup with tortelloni
-
Soup, or bisque?
And a fine question it is.
-
I slept well, given the increasing number of physical aches. I had dreams I no longer remember except for a fragment in which I looked out an apartment window onto the 72nd Street subway stop to shout at a woman I thought was Annalene Beechey. She looked up. I saw more clearly that she was not Annalene, apologized, and closed the window.
-
I found a version of "Someone Else's Story" with Anne Sofie von Otter and a string quartet, but it's not on YouTube.
-
I think we should mush on.

One more.

While I am sorry for Charlie Kirk's family, I never heard him speak, and he remains a figure on the sidelines of the worst election in my lifetime. He's getting much praise on the news this morning for getting JD Vance the job and Tramp the win, and for this reason alone I will not mourn him. I will go so far as to say that it's my belief he was assassinated not by the despicable radical left but by the despicable administration who needed something Really Big to pull attention from the Epstein situation that could easily end the administration through Tramp's potential involvement with pedophilia and sex trafficking.
-
And on to soup!
Split pea
Potato
matzoh ball
chicken noodle
-
I will shortly turn off the TV; I have much to accomplish this morning, and I have no wish to be distracted or saddened by the memorial services. I have a meeting this afternoon with my student, and I need to prepare for that, ad I need to be in an upbeat mood.
-
In the six degrees of Epstein, I remain in awe that David Oscar Markus, the ever-on-TV high-powered high-priced Miami attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell, is also one of the main attorneys actively watching out for the interests of my brother Macbeth and his wife Lady Macbeth of Cranford NJ against me in matters of the estate of Nat and Rosalie Landau. I can't figure out where the money and pull is to have an attorney on that level involved.
But there Mr. Markus' name is, clear as day, in the 2020 lawyer bills about the estate issues and my parents' elder care!
-
Congrats to MR BK on his historic millstone.
-
The first soup I remember is Campbell's Chicken Noodle which I continue to eat today.
I like the Progresso Soups and the Campbell's Chunky Soups.
-
We watched the first two (of six) episodes of the Amazon Prime series THE GIRLFRIEND, and not only is it NOT a sentimental soap opera, by the end of the first episode it was a blood-filled Dial-J-for-Jump nail-biter - and I'm seeing in some places it's called a "psychological thriller" where I'd just seen it called a "Thriller" before.
SPOLIER
It turned out not to be human blood, but we didn't know that when the first bloodletting happened.
-
I'm tempted to take an advance look at the synopses of later episodes to make sure my blood pressure can take it on my (still) low-dose lisinopril.
-
Even by my family's standards, the family in THE GIRLFRIEND is quite dysfunctional.
-
Good morning, all.
-
How great to see Iris again.
-
The first soup I remember is Mom’s homemade cream of wheat ball soup, which is akin to matzo ball soup. I may have to make some this winter.
-
It’s still too hot for it.
-
Good morning, all.
-
And a big ol' hello to DR DR Iris!
-
Thursday. I have things to get done today.
Coffee!!
-
No sooner had I left HHW for Facebook, followed by Twitter, I found the conspiracy theorists who believe Trump's Pennsylvania "assassination attempt" that resulted in two tragic deaths and too many fools wearing diapers over their right ears was an election hoax are now blaming the administration for the Kirk assassination. Interestingly, Rightwig lunatic Loomer was recently condemning Kirk for being a Trump turncoat and scumbag.
-
Boy, did some ass named Larry Brill just rake me over the coals on Facebook for a comment I made. He b;amed me for being an excess of obvious, dumb, repetitive, valueless comments. I don't think I'll ask him to be my friend!
-
Does he still own that building in NYC?

I am baking a couple of pork steaks for dinner later.

My sister Myrna asked a couple of us to go with her today at a custody hearing.
Her son and his wife are having difficulty with his first wife - a drug addict who lives with a man who is forbidden to be in contact with any underage children. She claims he lives next door.
The children live with my nephew and his wife. Both of them have jobs and work very hard to provide for their three children (two his, one hers). Ex wife doesn't pay her court ordered child support....she usually makes one payment in the few days before a hearing.
She is very curvy and has a baby doll voice and the judge is quite smitten with her and showers her with praise....
My sister said she just wants a few folks sitting on her side of the courtroom to show the judge that CJ has support as well....
-
What a quandary! I'm sorry for his family, but not that he's dead. What an ugly man. No wonder the Trump asses liked him./
-
so there you are
-
I forgot to mention how much I enjoyed DR IRIS' clips last night and the discussion of CHESS.

It's wonderful that you are going to show concern and support.

Speaking of songs from CHESS, this was from a poster on ATC named "Delvino" -
"It's an issue in the show's early 1980s DNA: both female characters are long-suffering "women behind the men," without any real agency in the story beyond standing by/not standing by the globe-trotting, difficult-but-successful men. It's not glib to report that they don't pass the Bechdel test, a set of traits that define women's behavior in dramatic storytelling: Florence and Svetlana only reveal their goals/regrets through contemplative or contentious numbers about their connection to Freddie and Anatoly. To my thinking, the only 2025 fix on this show would be to give Florence an elevation in the Chess world (see The Queen's Gambit, which blows holes through the Chess conceit that it's a male sport).
In 2025, I'd like to hear Florence sing about what Florence wants, what Florence gets besides one of these two guys. By the time we reach "I Know Him So Well," we're in deep codependency mode. It's act two of that other Michele revival, by the way: everything is about Fanny losing Nick. In a show about a sport and an intellectual arena, its not thrilling to see two women so subsumed solely by romantic relationships."
-
The notion of a character named "Freddie" being played by Aaron Tveit is a step or even several steps up from Freddy Krueger or Fred Mertz.
-
And I say again to Fred Mertz, even though he's gone for many years: "Ethel Mertz was NOT fat!"
-
So close to page 3. Why not get there?

This morning I was looking for a 9/11 thing I'd kept. My li'l collection is preserved in a plastic bin in my closet. I just quickly looked through it for one item, and was astounded at how much was there that I never would have remembered these 24 years later.
I'd bought a few newspapers on my way home from the office when they closed it around noon. Or maybe it was the next day that I started on this, I'd have to go through them to see what editions they are. But I quickly decided to preserve those and a few other artifacts of the day, and I - thank the universe - had the presence of mind to buy and store a few complete local newspapers and the NY Times, the major news magazines and some other publications, that week's TV Guide (I didn't even remember that), and I later bought the 9/11 commission report in book form, and a few other books commemorating the twin towers.
The one single thing I always regretted not grabbing right away, because it sold out immediately, was The New Yorker with the black cover.
It's not a HUGE collection. The newspaper stack is only 4" or 5" deep. But I should go through it and catalog what I have. It's also a testament to the argument that our newspaper legacy must be preserved in its original form, not just on ancient microfiche, because - get ready for it - newsprint doesn't break down and decompose when stored in a relatively airtight manner like this, or when the papers were bound in huge volumes for libraries. I open this bin 24 years later, and everything smells FRESH.

A nice collection DR CHAS SMITH.

Terrific that you thought to do this then, and still have this now. A real piece of history.
-
Here it is. You can't see, and neither can I, all the magazines and other ephemera in there under the papers. And while 9/11 would be the perfect day to go through these things, I just can't today, I have too much current real life stuff that must be done.

Some people following the CHESS revival may be interested. It looks like this was just uploaded by the production the past hour or so.
This is less than a minute, but gives a hint at what the CHESS revival is doing, promising "a brand new story"

New article in the New York Times about the series TRACKER
"‘Tracker’ Became One of TV’s Biggest Hits by Keeping It Simple
The CBS drama, starring Justin Hartley as a tough guy who finds missing people, is the most successful series in a mini-renaissance for the lone-wolf procedural."

My response to all the breast-beating and left-blaming is the same to all who I think are fake accounts, bots, or plain stupid: Did you make these kinds of posts when Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot in cold blood by a right-wing nut job. Did you mourn JFK, RFK, Martin Luther King. Crickets.

And the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband, et cetera et cetera et cetera.

I will watch the Chess clip after my phone recharges.

Well that was interesting.
Ex Wife had filed a petition to have the support case continued on a different day. But she had filed to have visitation on holidays.
We arrived. The case before ours was delayed because the defendant got lost. The judge was going to go ahead with us, but ex wife was not in the court room.
We had ALL seen her enter the building and go through security.
-
The other guy finally arrived and the judge made pretty short work of his case.
Still no ex wife.
My nephew took his seat at the table.....waiting....waiting.....nephew said we saw her in the hallway.
Clerk phones and finds out that she checked in. they called to the other courtroom to see if she was there. NOPE.
-
Ex wife texted current wife: "What happened?"
Judge was not pleased. And it was a different judge - not the old man who was entranced by the ex-wife.
She took it on the lam. Judge held her in contempt and dismissed her petition and gave my nephew good advice on how to continue his case for denying her parental rights....
Done!

The steak was very good and I have another one for tomorrow!

I do not. It is everything else you have said about it that doesn't sound like something I want to see.
Totally understandable. I'm certainly not recommending it. :)
-
It's interesting to me to keep watching in that the first three episodes are directed by the star of the series Robin Wright, but episodes 4, 5, and 6 are directed by someone else.
-
What the heck? Was it the presence of family that made her panic? A judge she feared? That’s wild! But overall very good news for your nephew!
-
Back from the set meeting - like the designer very much. He'll work up some ideas now but he seems to "get" the show.
-
Decided to come right home and order in.
-
I watched the opening of The Girlfriend - the second I saw the opening scene I knew exactly what was coming after it - and there it was: Five months earlier. I shut it off immediately, which is now my go-to whenever I see that. Enough already. Writers, get some new jokes. And frankly, I can't stand Robin Wright as an actor let alone a director. My two centimes.

They told the story in the first episode first from the mother's point of view (first "half") and then from the girlfriend's point of view (second "half"), but then the second episode they did the girlfriend's point of view first and then the mother's point of view. Somehow, that flipping of the order didn't work for me.

DR RODZINSKI I think it was a combination of those things that made her high tail it outta there......
She certainly didn't expect to see three people sitting in CJ's peanut gallery.....and not having "her" judge would have also been alarming to her.

There's a new TONY AND ZIVA (the NCIS sequel) tonight, and I'm very interested in that show's storyline - so not sure if we'll watch episode 3 only of THE GIRLFRIEND, or episodes 3 and 4.
-
It still makes me smile that an international Israeli spy like Ziva (having followed her through many seasons of NCIS) was referred to by Tony as a "Jewish mother" now that she has a kid.

Skip is not as high on TONY AND ZIVA as I am, I think, but he'll watch it.
We had the reverse happen with MISS SCARLET AND THE DUKE, which Skip really loved, but I was interested enough but probably wouldn't have watched it at all if Skip weren't really into the show; it was a good show for me to three-quarters watch while catching up on other stuff.

I wasn't tuned in to TV series at all for quite a while before the 2024 election, so Skip was watching things without me while I was hooked on politics for quite a while.

An interesting TV reunion article
‘The Love Boat’ cast reunites in NYC for Ted Lange’s new Off-Broadway play
https://nypost.com/2025/09/10/entertainment/the-love-boat-cast-reunites-for-ted-langes-off-broadway-play/
"Lange, 77, was joined by former co-stars Fred Grandy, 77, Bernie Kopell, 92, and Jill Whelan, 58, for the special event at Theatre Row."
-
For blood pressure reasons :) , I'll feel better watching episodes 3 and 4 of THE GIRLFRIEND while it's still light out, and Skip is fine with that.
-
We're at least curious about THE GIRLFRIEND and where the writers are going with this - unlike the rather similarly themed HUNTING WIVES
-
where we kind of couldn't have cared less by episodes 3 what the writers were cooking up, despite technical excellence of the artists.
But so much in common (so far) between the two series, THE GIRLFRIEND and HUNTING WIVES!

Both HUNTING WIVES and THE GIRLFRIEND even have a "surprise" revelation of women married to men having same-gender affairs in their pasts and presents as a key plot point, revealed in both shows early on.

If you can't have Judy Kuhn, this isn't bad.

I am glad there was a good outcome in court, DR Jrand75.
-
For blood pressure reasons :) , I'll feel better watching episodes 3 and 4 of THE GIRLFRIEND while it's still light out, and Skip is fine with that.
;D

Important envelopes come on the first of the month. Just a nice modern major miracle day.

Ex wife texted current wife: "What happened?"
Judge was not pleased. And it was a different judge - not the old man who was entranced by the ex-wife.
She took it on the lam. Judge held her in contempt and dismissed her petition and gave my nephew good advice on how to continue his case for denying her parental rights....
Done!
Wow! Glad things worked out for your nephew! :D

Not a soul in the bank. In and out in under a minute.

The site has been acting quite wonkily for my last several posts. :-\

I even got this a few minutes ago:

It seems to be acting normally now, though.
Whew!

Thank you.

Who doesn't love a good soup?
I don't love soups in general. ::)
-
Had penne in pink sauce with sausage - very good.
-
One more pill to take later this evening.
-
Thinking about pie.
-
Who isn't.
-
I do like a good tomato or tomato bisque. Costco has a good one, and Costco has a chicken tortilla soup that's pretty good, too.
-
One must always think about pie.
-
I've also had Campbell's (I think it was Campbell's) cheeseburger soup, which wasn't too bad. But they're normally just not my thing.
-
Had penne in pink sauce with sausage - very good.
It sounds good without the sausage.
-
Did anyone watch the first episode of season five of Only Murders in the Building?
-
We did not watch it.
-
I do not have an actual memory of first eating soup.
As a child I ate a lot of Campbell's cream of mushroom and tomato soups, always made with milk.
-
My favorite:

Modern major miracles are just swell, too. :)

Realizing watching TONY AND ZIVA that I was never conscious of an age difference between Michael Weatherly (Tony) and Cote de Pablo (Ziva) in the old NCIS days -which were of course before the six seasons Michael Weatherly spent on his next series BULL.
-
I guess back in NCIS, at the end of their time there, he would have been 48 and she would have been 36.
-
But now, with Michael Weatherly being 57 and Cote de Pablo being 45, you can see the 12 year difference in the actors, even though the characters are probably not intended to be 12 years apart in age.
-
But it was a good episode, with Tony and Ziva on a boat at the end almost a homage to the King of the World scene in Titanic.
-
Should I yammer on about THE GIRLFRIEND episode 3 until we get to page Rupert/Seven?
-
It was another heartracer, but so many twists and turns,
-
first from the Girlfriend's point of view, then reliving them from the Mother's point off view,
-
we decided we needed to stop before episode 4 to regroup until another day.
The action-packed new episode of TONY AND ZIVA was a walk in the park comparatively.
-
Page Rupert/Seven
-
I agree with your earlier post, DR Freddie. The passiveness of the women in the books of Chess has always been problematic.
-
Maybe the new book will solve it.
-
I'd like to think of pie.
-
Perhaps I shall.
-
Pie-wise.
-
Or, as DR ChasSmith likes to say, pie-hole.
-
It's early to be greeting Rupert!
-
Not complaining, though.
-
I'll tell you that for free.
-
To paraphrase Florence.
-
My mom used to make round steak with Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup.
-
Probably their tomato soup is the first I remember eating. With oyster crackers.
-
Just a couple of months ago, I had some Campbell's tomato soup for the very first time and compared to just about all the other kinds of tomato soups I've had, it was not good. :P
-
Some here have been talking about 60s beach movies. I just read that actress Salli Sachse had died at 82.

Never.

I'm not gonna make it to page eight.

After a night of dancing, it’s Matlock over finishing my book.

Kathy Bates is a charmer.

But it’s back to my book.

Because it’s time for bed.

But first …

Page turn!

Good night, all.

Never.

I used to love most Campbell's soups, but especially cream of mushroom, tomato bisque, some of the Chunky brand, chicken noodle soup, and a few others. I can barely tolerate any of them except cream of mushroom and that ONLY as an ingredient in Wacky Noodles.

I sat on my couch, turned on the TV and while scrolling dozed off instantly for two hours. Unbelievable. And then I sat there scrolling and scrolling and every time I found something like a thriller, bad or good, I'd click on it only to find that I'd already watched it. I believe that there are some great things on Prime but they never show up - you can find if you search, but I have no idea what to search for. This is why algorithms should be abolished forever everywhere. They limit, not expand. Perhaps I'll write about that in the notes.

New notes are written.

Listening to music.

I completely forgot we put out a wonderful CD of Franz Reizenstein music.

If you don't have it, you should.

You could.

If you bought it, you would.

You wouldn't be misunderstood.

Oh dear.

Should we fear?

Drink a beer?

Cheer?

Shed a tear?
-
Take a long walk off a short pier?
-
Be austere?
-
Wear something sheer?
-
Simply be mere?
-
Is someone near?
-
Perhaps everyone is reading King Lear.
-
Gaslighting would be queer.
-
See?

Coming soon to a theater or drive-in near you.

I don't know.

Don't ask me.

I came across this documentary, originally on HBO, on Archive.org (https://archive.org/):
Spring Awakening: Those You've Known (https://archive.org/details/spring-awakening-those-youve-known-2022)
Fifteen years after the smash, Tony-winning Broadway run of "Spring Awakening," the original cast and creative team reunite for a spectacular, one-night only reunion concert to benefit The Actors Fund. Chronicling their whirlwind journey back to the stage, the film follows the players as they reconnect and rediscover the beauty and timelessness of the hit musical.
