On the evening of July 3, my friend Judy and I were just walking around - D.C. downtown is pretty dead after dark....

We were sitting on a bench and saw then President Bill Clinton drive by in his limo....the light was on in the back and he was eating a sandwich.

Good one, DR Jrand68. My one presidential sighting was seeing Reagan get off Marine One (is that the official designation of the helicopter?) at Santa Monica Airport on a day I just happened to land there to take a break and have a look around.

I recall seeing CITIZEN X back when it first aired.

Good movie.

DR JANE I realized that said cat did not actually have its tail in the garbage disposal.....but it was a funny saying....

Not unlike a cat in a record player.....the story I have told here before - which is sadly true.

LOL I did know that, just wanted to be sure others did 😊

DR Jrand I enjoyed your DC story.

We can see Portland fireworks from our place. I expect the 3rd floor condos have a decent view while ours isn't too exciting. I like to watch for a little bit. Looking out the window I spent more time watching the grass, trees, & plants blowing in the wind. We had such a calm day and I was surprised at the contrast. It was very windy out there.

It does seem like Saturday.

Not if you’re working, it doesn’t. It feels like Monday.

Very true and I am now back into the Friday mentality.

George I am glad you did a spoiler on the credits otherwise we might have missed them. Keith will definately sit through them now.

I had heard that there wasn't going to be a regular after-the-credit scene for Avengers: Endgame because it really ended a lot of storylines. Margo and I probably would've stayed to the end anyway, because we do that.

Today is going to be a day. I'm going to work for only four hours, then I'm going to Seattle to visit my friend David and we're going to a Seattle Mariners baseball game. Tonight is their special Pride night!

Have fun.

Thanks, Jane! I hope to!

Lots of fireworks last night - but they ended before 11 p.m.

The man across the street was setting off some kind of sparkling things in the middle of the street until about midnight, but they didn't make any noise except a few sizzling sounds.

Tumwater has a fireworks ban, but the ban includes sparklers! What's that all about? $:-\$

Not to me. I'm at work, although, I will be going into work tomorrow for a few hours to make up the time I'm using today to go to Seattle...so it's actually like an almost normal Thursday to me.

I forgot about a memorable July 4 I had.....my fellow workers from the Indiana Dept. Of Labor were in Washington D.C. for the week.

On the evening of July 3, my friend Judy and I were just walking around - D.C. downtown is pretty dead after dark....

We were sitting on a bench and saw then President Bill Clinton drive by in his limo....the light was on in the back and he was eating a sandwich.

Then we walked around and heard a lot of noise. On investigating, we found where they were rehearsing the orchestra for the July 4 show....so we sat down and watched that for about an hour. Most entertaining. No one asked to leave....so we stayed and listened to the whole thing.

That's pretty cool, Jrand!

Last night, I missed the first 15 minutes or so of PBS's A Capitol Fourth, but I found that the whole show is available to watch on YouTube here:

Well, I'm off to the ball park! It'll be a long night.

Be back later...much later!

Up from a nap. I had planned on going to visit a friend tonight who's got cancer. Found out that her blood pressure is really low and they had to go to the hospital for a short stay. Will try to see her tomorrow.

Jane · « **Reply #76 on:** July 05, 2019, 02:44:21 PM »

Vibes it truly is a short visit.

The vocal work on Promenade is for the most part really glorious. I hope it goes well.

Thanks for the travel vibes. The flight was uneventful and on time.

Thanks for making me laugh, TCB, about Barbra singing for you!

Watching a weird German attempt to be Quentin Tarnatino and Charlie Kaufman. It's called Snowflake and it's, well, flaky.

Back from picking up tape transfers - all watched. The four Playboy bits are fascinating and a couple are more than a little not PC, but I don't care about PC. The little preludes to the roll-in bits are pretty funny, and the roll-in bits are variable.

The Dinah tape had an additional fifteen minutes or more of stuff that wasn't on the reel I posted previously. It includes my I Write the Songs performance and two or three other musical numbers, a bit more of Dinah, glimpses of guest stars - Phyllis Diller and Paul Williams. Since we never interacted with the guests we never met them. I forgot that Lola Falana's brother joined the show for the last two episodes - you see him in a couple of things and also the other cast member who joined at that time, DeeDee Rescher. I had another long sketch with Leland Palmer - not too funny, bad writing - we're fine - and she's my dance partner in a couple of clips.

Then I watched my cut of The Creature Wasn't Nice. It's so much better than the version the producers did and which has been all that was available. That said, I can see exactly what I should have done back then and it would have really helped - has to do with music. So, I'm going to give this to my editor, Marshall Harvey, and I think with his help I'm going to add some music to certain scenes, then if I'm going to release this I'd have to go to Fotokem to do some clean-up work - it's never going to look great - it was transferred in early 1982 to 3/4" tape with that technology. But I think we can help it a bit. IF I decide to all that work, I may have to do a small Indiegogo to fund that work.

Not sure what I wanted to watch tonight. So, I popped in the original State Fair.
