BK, is the modern major miracle a potential new Kritzerland release?

When I was going through Strike Me Pink to see what songs were in the movie, I read the cast list at the end. One of the performers (not a character) in the movie is named Parkyakarkus!

I'd never heard of him, so I looked him up on IMDb and it says that his name is Harry Parke, but he was born on May 6, 1904 (exactly 116 years and two days ago) as Harry Einstein. One of his sons is the actor Albert Brooks!

I fell asleep quickly last night. If only I had stayed asleep.

DR Vixmom are you still sleeping at the home of the impatient?

What did the orthopedic surgeon do for your mother?

Coping vibes for DR Vixmom and fast healing vibes for the Impatient!

The modern major miracle was just something helpful in these stressful times, something that was much needed. Whew!

I've listened to the five symphonies of William Alwyn - what a wonderful composer. It took me awhile to get into the symphonies but they're really terrific once you do. And his film music is just incredible, especially Odd Man Out and The Fallen Idol.

Both Thatch and I are having a hard time getting ourselves moving this morning. After I fed them, I put out some food for the pigeons on the fire escape, and Thatch woke right up. He hides behind the window blinds and stalks them.

I no longer feed them every day. Two years ago, it became a complete mess. Every day the number of pigeons got larger, the neighbors complained about large flocks of pigeons making too much noise, the super = this is after Val had left us - was unhappy with all the pigeon shit. I only feed them now about once every two weeks. just to give the cats a thrill. I had begun the whole thing only to amuse Annabelle.

Last night we watched the first episode of the BBC adaptation of Middlemarch. It isn't holding my attention, but we'll finish it. The cast is really good.

DR vixmom, when my dad was still alive and I was spending so much time in Ohio every time he went into the ICU, I prayed he would come through and be released. He was such a horrid backseat driver that each time I drove him home from hospital, I kept thinking, I'm going to drop this sonofabitch off at the side of the road.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #16 on:** May 08, 2020, 04:05:28 AM »

I still miss him. Thirteen years and two months since he died, and I still miss him enormously.

This morning at 9:30 I need to call Senator Serrano's office and give Suad my weekly unemployment report. Last night on the 5:00 news, there were 3,000,000 more new NY unemployment claims. I don't know if I will ever see any money, but I'm hoping. Before I go into this surgery, I want to know my life insurance is paid up and that I'm current with all my debts.

I still haven't done laundry or begun my pasta sauce.

Maybe today.

I got to see snd to interview Juliet Mills in the stage version of Chalk Garden. It was great for her to do something the rest of the family had done. And she was excellent in it.

I like Douglas Hodge, ages before he did La Cage aux folles, and Rufus Sewell in that.

Must get a move on.

Properly set the bones in the wrist and put a cast on her

The Chalk Garden began as a London production, directed by John Gielgud, starring Peggy Ashcroft and Edith Evans. Siobhan McKenna and Gladys Cooper, directed by Albert Marre, played the roles on Broadway. I love the film version.

elmore3003 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 08, 2020, 05:21:49 AM »

I haven't seen the film in years. I remember seeing it twice during its first release, and I don;'t think I've seen it since. I'd like to watch it again.

John G. · « **Reply #28 on:** May 08, 2020, 05:25:33 AM »

Vibes for Vixmom and Mom.
