I'm home

Just had to share.

After the show, I went to my sister's. She wanted me to swap out a light fixture in her bedroom for a new fan, but I've never put in fans. The instructions say that you need to confirm that the light box is attached to a joist in the ceiling and can handle at least 35 pounds of weight.

I think that that's above my pay grade, so I didn't feel confident in putting up the fan. She said that that was okay and she'll hire someone who has experience in putting in fans. Whew!

I did change a lightbulb, so it wasn't a total waste of my time. She had some leftover Costco cheese pizza, so it REALLY wasn't a waste of my time!

After I left her house, I actually went to Costco and got some diet Pepsi to take to work (for myself). I have some in our staff room fridge, but it was all that I had. I needed to replenish my stash.

Now I'm home and have the rest of the evening to myself!

Hoo and Ray!

Patricia Morison was a force of nature. When she was 101 I saw her do I Hate Men and she was amazing. Nothing sad about living to 103 - what a life!

Back from a nice meal at Maria's Eyetalian Kitchen here in the Oaks of Sherman. I had the penne with sausage and peppers - pretty large portion and I could only eat half, so I took the rest home and will eat it at some point this evening. I was a super good boy and had no bread and none of the Tiramisu everyone shared at the end of the meal.

What is this page four malarky?

Page Four Malarky - that's the title of my next novel.

I'm thinking about an evening jog, which I'd do around seven-thirty if I'm feeling so inclined.

At this moment I am not feeling so inclined but that could change.

I like the Patricia Morrison story about the revolving stage....she was in a particular show. I thought it was Me & Juliet, but she is not listed in the cast for it......

One night early on, she had to jump out of the way of a moving set and landed in the orchestra pit....the audience reacted wildly to her antics. She did it again the next night to even greater reaction.

She was met backstage by the producer who threatened to fire her if she did it a third time.....she did not.

On a sad note, Patricia Morison, Original Kiss Me, Kate Star, Dies at 103.

It is a nice article and I enjoyed the video.

Would she have been better than Kathryn Grayson in the movie version of "Kiss Me, Kate"

I'm not a Kathryn Grayson fan, so I would think that a tabletop would have been better in Kiss Me, Kate.

Exactly.

I remember her in one of the later Thin Man movies.

Spoiler Alert;

I think it was Song of the Thin Man. She was the murderer.

Back to Jane Austen in Manhattan. It's not top-drawer Merchant-Ivory.

I made a really good tomatillo avocado salsa this evening. Was wonderful by itself with chips or on top of the burgers we had before Bible study.

Tonight we watched an interesting documentary called 500, about the effects of the Reformation over the past 500 years. Fascinating lines stretching from Luther's ideas of separation of church and state to U.S. history.

I'd been hoping to get a ticket to "My Fair Lady" on Liza Doolittle Day, today, the 20th of May. Felt like ti could be special or fun.

The only available seats had been premium. But it turned out Lauren Ambrose had to miss this weekend, so it's probably best that I hadn't gotten a ticket.

I remember that pop hit "Oz never did give nothing to The Thin Man, that he didn't already have."

So, in the Washington Post obit for Ms. Morison, there's a story of how Yul Brenner tried to bed her. She went into his dressing room one night and he was sitting nude in a lotus position.

I guess we have to include him on the #MeToo list, even if they did end up friends.

Off to bed.

Well, maybe after a page turn.
