Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of paperbacks, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - they're currently reading a paperback entitled Gay Cows at the Corral.

Once again, loved all the "extras" in today's notes. And "That's All" is a most wonderful classic song.

Good morning, all.

Coffee!

Could have used another hour of sleep. Oh yes indeed.

Got a busy morning so will have to save some postings for later.

I have my own little history with the love of paperbacks and will scan some of my favorites.

Another day of mid-90s feeling like 100 or more. Not that I'm out in it to actually experience that for than a couple of minutes at a time whilst running errands and such.

Good morning, all.

Hope it's a great Friday for everyone.

Good morning. I think Dear Readers Laura and Sandra and I should all go back to your father's restaurant and maybe sit outside on the sidewalk and have a picnic of shrimp cocktails, turkey sandwiches and maraschino cherries.

Good morning.
Good morning.
Good morning.

I LOVE THE THURSDAY NIGHT POETRY / OPEN MIC NIGHTS I STARTED GOING TO.

I forgot how powerful words are, even in a very few.

Cant' be late.

I need more time.

Good morning, all! I slept in until 8:00, then spent too much time debating the laundry situation. I need more coffee. So, I'll begin the laundry in a few minutes, and scrounge up some breakfast.

I have no plans today. After I tidy up, vacuum, and mop, I'll wait for UPS to show up,then run a few errands. I won't be out in the heat for long.

Paperbacks: I remember having most of the Perry Mason novels of Erle Stanley Gardner when I was about 10 or 11. Great books with lurid covers that often had nothing to do with the book itself. I remember having to take a note home from a teacher that I wasn't to bring them to my Lutheran grade school any more.

Three years later when I read "The Exorcist" in school (I knew not to that one home), that was apparently OK.

Or maybe they had catagorized me as a lost cause by that point.

While on LI we were able to get Series 1, 2 and 3 of One Foot in the Grave. We have been watching that. We have the second Christmas special to watch and then I will go to the 40th Street branch of the library and take out Series 4, 5 and 6 and we will watch the remainder of the show.

We also finally got to see Stepping Out. A friend outside the U.S. sent us a copy. It's in PAL format and we have an old television and DVD player so we had to watch in on the computer. I hooked up the laptop to the television, though, and we were able to watch it full screen.

It's a nice little film. With all the stuff they release on DVD nowadays, I'm surprised this has never been released.

Larry, I hope you're enjoying The Grand. It wasn't as good, IMHO, as Duchess of Duke Street, but it's still a good series and worth watching.

Friday!

Our local root beer drive-in was called The Dog & Suds.....our local post office now sits on the corner where it was....and the local police station is now where the post office used to be.

I liked buying science fiction paperbacks.....usually only 50 cents or 75 cents.... My favorites were the short story anthologies.

I also bought anything that had Harlan Ellison's name on the cover....plays and movie tie in books with PHOTOS from the movies....still have some of them.

NOTHING - I am working on lines for THE DROWSY CHAPERONE.

This is supposed to be our last day of EXTREME heat.....so perhaps ANGEL STREET will close tomorrow with a little rain or at least some moderate temperatures. We had a very good audience last night...and it was probably our most attended show.

I am really annoyed by SO MANY of the contestants (I won't call them designers yet) on this season's PWOJECT WUNWAY that I can't imagine watching it until there are fewer of them around....I would have sent home ALL FOUR of those on the losing side last night.....

Especially dislike the environmental hypocrite, the tattooed dumb girl, the OTHER girl from Milwaukee with glasses, and the Russian guy....but there is an embarrassment of riches in uselessness among the group.

DR JOHNG - I think an television episode based on that book was on ME TV earlier this week!
