Well, you've read the notes, the notes were in paperback and had tales, and now it is time for you to post until the paperback cows come home.

I will not defend all the nasty comments posted about hominy after I signed off last night. I do not like grits, but I do love hominy. What I find amazing is how the hell it was ever discovered. My grandmother used to make it in our kitchen and then can it. All I remember about those sessions from the mid-1950s is that she was constanrtly shooing me away from getting too close to the sink because it was filled with lye, which literally ate away the outside shell of the corn kernel. "You'll lose an eye!" she would tell mde, "Get back!"

It was chilly last night. Around 4:00 Annabelle crawled under the blankets with me, and Thatch settled next to me shortly after that. Last week, after our DR vixmom submitted my name to the Penzey spices people that I needed a hug, I received a fluffy blanket from them with their good wishes. It's at the foot of my bed with the cats' kitty blanket, and Stella has dec lared them her territory.

I have got to vacuum today. At 2:00 I have an important telephone conference call about this possible recording project.I'm hoping it goes well.

BK, I am hoping that Covid does no damage to your production.

DR elmore3003, sorry. My comment about hominy was just a joke. I have never encountered it myself.

I have found the videos about the restorations of the three panel cinerama films fascinating. All the work that goes into it to save a part of film history. I always wished to have seen one. However by the time I was old enough to go to the movies the 3 panels was a thing of the past replaced by 70mm ultra Panavision. I believe I saw some movies but never on a large curved screen because if I did I’m sure I’d remember it.

I believe Abel Gance’s Napoleon was screened like this back in the ‘80s, but I never got the chance to see it.

You have no reason to apologize! You know me very well: if I were really upset, I would have told you so!

Besides, it gave me a chance to talk about my maternal grandmother. After 60 years I still miss her much more than I miss my mother.

This morning, when I unlocked my door, I discovered an Amazon package contasining the DVD of Belfast! I am s excited to have it, and tonight the cats and I will watch it. I am very grateful to the DR who was so generous.

DR Jrand71, I, too, love "It Never Entered My Mind," especially the 2nd verse: the man who came to dinner lets me eat alone.

I wish I had thew funding to record these wonderful Rodgers & Hart scores:
I Married an Angel
Higher and Higher
Chee-Chee
Peggy-Ann
Too Many Girls

I enjoyed reading about the book signing event.

I had no idea you'd be here!

I like it when folks say things like that to me.

I am very distressed to hear about the Covid Cast Members in MR BK's show.

It just brings back my experience last August and the chaos and drama that caused.

VIBES that your experience is just the opposite!

Chee-Chee is my favorite castration musical. Moon of My Delight is just gorgeous.

So many posts this morning.

Of course, I'm late to the table. Got involved in other stuff.

GOOD MORNING!

It's time to break my fast:

The view from my windows makes me think today will be a gorgeous one.

I have known one or two folks who would pronounce that word "gawjus", but they are no longer alive, and folks down here don't seem to speak that way any more.

It is also time to go pick up my mail at the post office.
