In the meantime, go to 16:00 in this video - an episode of The Girl With Something Extra, starring Sally Field and John Davidson. I did this as a favor to Bob Claver and the other Partridge Family folks - they'd just call me and tell me I had a part and when to show up. One day, in and out in an hour. I just remember Sally trying to watch what I was doing because everyone was laughing. She was very sweet. So was John. But this episode is loaded with one scene actors who are very well known.

Good morning, all!

Another night of so-so sleep. That damned heating pad is doing nothing to help that pinched nerve.

Doug is anxious to dive intro that Kay Swift ballet, so I must spend a bit of time today on that.

In 1970-71, I was one of the four graduate assistants in the theatre dept. The other three were Pam Hollenbeck, Tim Waters, and Joe Haggard. After June 1971, we parted ways: Pam and her husband Paul headed off to Ithaca, NY, and Cornell, where Paul finished his degree as an architect, Joe and his wife Linda off to divorce, and I never knew what became of Tim. I learned much later trhat he was an AIDS casualty, but he never finished his M.A. degree, and I have no idea where he might be. When I returned to Ohio in Sept. 1972, Linda Haggard had reverted to her maiden name, and I never saw Joe again.

This is all prologue to this post. Several years ago, I reconnected with Joe, who nowe lives in Austin, TX. We sorta keep in touch, maybe once a year. This morning I received this email:
I enjoyed your book so much, you brought your characters to life and have a gift with words and putting them together.
Somewhere between the journey to the center of the earth and the caroling, I realized that I had two new friends, a pair of delightful kitties named Annabelle and Thatch. I do wish I could really meet them, but it sounds like we’re both old and creaky enough that travel is out of the question. At least I can thank you for my introducing me to my wonderful new friends, ask you to give them big hugs from “Uncle Joe”, and urge you to take care of yourself and keep on writing.
I hope this not the last I hear about my new friends.
-
When we were grad students, Joe and I spent a lot of time assembling the plot of an operetta; he would write the text and I the music. It had something to do with a Mexican dictator and a taco vendor, but I remember no more now.

Good morning, all.

That's an amazing story and note, DR Elmore.

Are you asking these far-flung friends how they heard about your book?

Fun clip, BK.

Lovely post DR ELMORE. Thanks for sharing.

Funny clip MR BK.
So strange to see Sally with dark hair and John as a blond.
-
Goodbye Page One.
-
Hello you, two!
-
Haven't slept much yet - maybe ninety minutes. No more guacamole at night. Ridic.
-
Sorry to hear about Mr. Redford - one of my favorite screen actors.
-
Good morning, all.
-
Nice story, Elmore.
-
Fun clip, BK.

I have been to the basement, mail boxes, and back. Before that I spent 30 minutes in the bathroom being sick. I am so sick of this.
-
Good morning.

Leonard decided I should get up at 4 a.m.

One of my favorite Redford performances was his turn as Death on Twilight Zone.

So I got my walk in before it got too warm.
-
That's a lovely story, Elmore.

I’m going to a retirement seminar today at church. I hope I can stay awake.

From Bruce:
I do wonder if darling Jane will ever get around to reading my book. I believe the time frame has come and gone from her original guesstimate.
Yes, it is past my original guesstimate. Unfortunalely I am still not feeling much better. Aleeve is helping, however, I need to see what happens when I go off of it tomorrow.

I agree about John as a blond, however, Sally has dark hair. Here she is in Gidget with sunkissed dark hair.

My Covid 19 prescription has been at last sent to Walgreens.

I’m down in BK country, well, Anaheim, for the Catholic Cemetery Conference convention. I’m at the Disneyland Hotel, which would be nice…if my kids were here and I wasn’t here covering cemeteries.

Gotta go to the big ribbon-cutting here in a few.

If you said which one I missed it. Which one did you have and was it the same as what you had been getting?
-
Watched a movie on the plane, “Sinners.” Some good acting by the one guy in two roles. Some decent period detail. Kind of a big mess by the end of it all. The “bad guys” are completely undeveloped. I did not love it.
-
Delroy Lindo was great. Is it fair for me to judge a performance when I watch with subtitles? He looked like he was doing a good job.

Delroy Lindo has been a favorite since I saw him in Joe Turner’s Come and Gone on Broadway. I also loved him in Da 5 Bloods and Crooklyn.

Sure glad those weather people were accurate about that cold front that was absolutely positively definitely bringing much cooler weather - that never arrived. It is currently at seven-fifteen, ninety-two degrees outside. It was about ninety-eight earlier. Yeah, that's sure cool weather. NOW they're saying well, it's coming but it might not hit until - wait for it - November. These people should be put out to pasture.

And miles to go before I sleep.

What. A dump.

Who said that?

I'm grasping at straws for posting material, here.

As is evident.

Anyone can see it.

It ain't hidden.

Hidden Valley ranch.

Jane, I got the Pfizer covid shot and the senior quad flu shot.

Show me a ranch, and I'll show you a branch.

Oy.

It's painful.

It's from hunger.

And yet, they're posts.

That's a post of a different color.

Music is good.

When I was checking in here, the front desk girl (‘cast member ‘) told me severe weather was expected. Maybe even … rain.

It was just hot and sunny.

I just ordered cheesecake to my room.

I guess the premise of the first few episodes of the Sally Field show was that she was psychic. Then they dropped that after awhile. It’s not part of the BK episode. John Davidson’s brother on the show, I’m like, who is this mush-mouthed clown? Then I recognized him as the voice of “Conjunction Junction” and several other Schoolhouse Rock episodes.

That's Jack Sheldon! When I was in the jazz choir at Western Washington University, the jazz instructor and bass player extraordinaire, Chuck Israels, invited Jack to perform with the jazz bands. He did a little workshop that we in the choir got to sit in on. He was a great guy. :)

I could neither understand, nor figure out, how that worked. :P

Sitting here trying to install all the monthly software updates on my work computer. They take F-O-R-E-V-E-R to download and install.
At my ex-library, the IT department locked down all the computers and made sure that they sent out all updates for any and all programs.
-
No one had to worry about doing any of that on their own.
-
And anyone who worked from home had a library laptop, so they never had to install work programs on their home computers.
