Well, White Kitty has been abandoned - again. She lived with the former owners who moved away years ago....but the people who bought the house kept her.

Jennifer who lives next to the house fed her and gave her water today. She said that she has several folks who are ready to give White Kitty a new loving home.....so it will be okay.

Thank goodness for Jennifer. I hope White Kitty finds a good home.

Hello, everyone.

Does anyone know of a good way to clean leather tennis shoes or used one of the commercial shoe cleaning products? I tried shoe cleaner a couple years ago and it didn't help at all. I read the reviews for a couple of the shoe cleaners available on Amazon. Some say they're great, others say dish detergent works better. Today I tried dish detergent. No luck. I was able to clean the midsole using just an inexpensive stiff brush and some water, but couldn't make any progress on the leather.

There's a shop here in LA that will clean your sneakers for you, but I'd guess we're looking at at least $50 and I can buy a new pair for not much more than that.

Any suggestions?

Jrand, I, too, like the set. It's full of intrigue.

Vibes you're (relatively) happy with the show.

Jeanne · « **Reply #125 on:** May 22, 2021, 04:37:30 PM »

I have no news, just a dirty pair of sneakers.

TTFN.

Listening to Gounod's Faust, which I'm really enjoying - a great recording with a great cast in great 1958 stereo. I haven't listened to an opera recording in over six weeks, so it's fun to hear one again and I want to hear some more of Gounod's operas.

Which 1958 stereo recording?

Rear Window was beautiful - as always, but projected to perfection at this place.

It's so great to watch a favorite movie in a perfect setting, and to pay attention to details and things you've never really noticed or thought about or concentrated on the zillions of other times you've seen it.

Today I counted at least three lines (there might even have been another one or two) that were nearly blown, but the actor sails through it and it still comes out naturally and perfectly and the director leaves it. Pros, man. Pros who are at the top of their game.

I am sorry I can't help you with that.

Vixmom, my Idea Soup is made with the prime rib bones and barley, carrot, onion, and celery.

Ooh that sounds delicious

I just binge-watched the entire HALSTON on Netflix.

I gather that's akin to a rave.

Back to Return of the Musketeers. It is Richard Lester at his most frantic.

Dancing tonight was fun, but also strange. Yes, a lot of it was jostling the memory banks to remember different steps. But the sound system was unreliable for most of the evening. It wasn't just that a song skipped as it played, throwing you off the beat, but the rhythm also changed while you were dancing to something. It would speed up or slow down randomly, so trying to keep up was futile.

John G. · « **Reply #137 on:** May 22, 2021, 08:49:32 PM »

Still, it was fun. A couple of the women just followed, instead of leading (how delightful).

So, this might become a Saturday treat again.

Kim Catrall is the villain in Return of the Musketeers, and her out-of-place, 20th century mannerisms may be where the main area one can blame for the movie not measuring up to its beloved predecessors. Granted, one is supposed to dislike her (Madame de Winter's daughter), but I find I dislike her for all the wrong reasons. I can't wait until she is dead, in hopes that the movie would get better without her. No such luck, I'm afraid.

John G. · « **Reply #140 on:** May 22, 2021, 09:22:21 PM »

But I am surprised at how closely the movie sticks to the novel.

John G. · « **Reply #141 on:** May 22, 2021, 09:46:53 PM »

I'm off to bed.

Still don't know if I can announce today - completely frustrating. He'd done the pages for Tonight's the Night but not the book and I still haven't seen it.
