When we bring pizza into the house and it's for the three of us, a large does the job. If at least one other person is here, we'll get two larges and sometimes have a few slices left over. But I can do a lot of damage on pizza all by myself. In my earlier pizza eating years, I'd put away all of a medium or 3/4 of a large without evening thinking about it. There might even have been a time or two when I polished off the large in one sitting. It's possible.

I am a pizzaholic and I wouldn't mind proving it. Again. Today.

I probably said before that I've had the hankering to try a couple of frozen pizzas again for my first time in - seriously - probably twenty years. On my most recent shopping trip I didn't see anything at Shop Rite that I recognized as being recommended by anyone, but just to dip my toes into the water I picked up a Stouffer's French Bread one which I haven't had in an even longer time. I know it won't satisfy the craving for a "real" one but it should make for a pleasant meal.

I then remembered my earlier history with some pizzas Trader Joe's began carrying during my last year or so in Los Angeles, which were a few varieties of small frozen pizza made by Wolfgang Puck. His name was all the rage then, and those pizzas were damned good. Moving here, there was no TJ on the east coast then, but the memory of those pizzas lived on. When they finally expanded and we got our own store, I looked at their pizzas. The Puck name was nowhere in evidence (probably long gone), but it looked like there were a few under the Trader Joe's name that were very similar. However, I didn't bother trying any then, and now with the staying at home, I haven't been across town to even go into our Trader Joe's. When I finally do, though, watch out.

So now that I've remembered the Stouffer's that's been in the freezer for a week, tonight might be the night for that. Unless we put some hot dogs on the grill (we've got good Sabrett's here) which was an earlier idea. I's definitely that kind of a day. Hot dogs or pizza. Decisions, decisions.

Gotta love Guns N’ Roses, whom I saw at Woodstock ‘94. Their new appellation, COVID-45, is a winner.

I remember reading the novel Six Days of the Condor Back in the seventh or eighth grade. It had one of the first explicit sex scenes I remember reading. Left a lasting impression.

I guess in the movie biz, six days sound too long. Nowadays, it would be three hours.

I love Three Days of the Condor!

My theater memory has me seeing it at the Village.

I also had the "Six Days" novel in paperback but I'm pretty sure I didn't read it and I don't see it here now. Oh well.

Yikes! CONDOR was released in September 1975, and for years I've thought back on it as having been very late '70s or even 1980/81-ish. I wonder how I got so far off on that one.

Well, I have the Blu-ray and it's time to see it again. Truly, though, I'd like to line up all the great '70s paranoid thrillers and have myself a little marathon. Said marathon would, of course, have to include MARATHON MAN. No groaning, please.

Tom, in this dreadful revival of Clear Day, the smoker is now called Davy Gamble, not Daisy. He becomes a female jazz singer in a previous life. It’s Jessie Mueller in her first big role, and she’s wonderful. But the problems go back to Harry Connick. His depressed character is now the lead. Why? The script doesn’t make that or much of anything else clear.

I like Redford in most anything. A couple not mentioned:

Nothing in the Dark from The Twilight Zone
All Is Lost

Thursday morning greetings!  Ohio's restaurants have permission to open tomorrow for outside dining only and rain is predicted for the entire weekend.  Do you suppose Mother Nature is trying to tell us something?

Yesterday I ran out of newspapers to put in the bottom of the cage, so I had to use plain white sketch pad paper......he did NOT like that.

However, yesterday the mail lady brought us our weekly sale bills, so today he has his Kroger and Aldi ads to look at....he is much happier.

Was his name Rand Paul? He’s got something stuck up there.
