Yes. It is very sad. When his mind was on it, he could be very good.

Starting to watch Coming 2 America. The first 15 minutes were not good. Suddenly, it started getting funny with guest appearances from Morgan Freedman, Gladys Knight, Salt N Pepa. I hope it continues along those lines.

I wonder if Larry had heard about this already:

DR vixmom, I'm so sorry about your eye situation. Can the doctor do anything about this cataract?

Apparently “not yet “,  we have to wait for it to get worse before they do anything, he said maybe 3-5 years “we’ll see how it progresses”

That reminds me of what a cardiologist said to me a year or so back.  While I have been diagnosed, and take medication for, atrial fibrillation, I never feel my heart racing, and tests to check on my heart are essentially negligible in showing any form of fibrillation.

BUT, the doctor said there was just a teensy bit of fluctuation, and that I must continue on Eliquis (a blood thinner) to ensure it doesn't get worse.

She said, however, that I would likely need a pacemaker when I am older.

I told her, "I'm 72 now.  How old must I get?"

She laughed and said it might be necessary when I'm in my 80s.

Apologies in advance to anyone who has a different take on this subject:

I watched Kenneth Branagh's "Death on the Nile" this afternoon on Hulu.

I am a big Agatha Christie fan, and I love the movie version of the book that boasted an all-star cast including Peter Ustinov, David Niven, Mia Farrow, Bette Davis and Maggie Smith.

I reiterate that I saw Branagh's "Death on the Nile", because it sure wasn't Christie's. He has so altered characters and events that saying it's "based on" the Christie novel is just to cover the use of the title and locale. 

Worst of all, IMO, is the ludicrous changing of the race/occupation of one of the main characters.  The white romance novelist, Ms. Audobon, is now a black jazz singer, and she has several very loud complete renditions of jazz songs that the movie seems to have been cut to...like a music video.  The characters Davis and Smith played in the original film are now played by Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French, and they are revealed to be lovers.  Annette Bening plays a character with a son, both of whom seem to be Branagh inventions, although I think they substitue for unrelated characters in the actual nove.

To be fair, they did keep the primary killers and their motives, but the rest is virtually unrecognizable as Christie material.

Not MY cup of tea at all.

And finally for the amusement of the populace, here is a photo of me and a lovely actress named Constance in a 1998 show called SUMMER GAMES.....set it 1976.

I am wooing single mother Constance by trying to get on the good sides of her two sons.....it's not working. But as you can see, she is undressing me with her eyes.





With that shirt, I can understand why she is undressing you.

Salad ordered. Don't have to be at the theater until five. Will stop at the mail place beforehand and hope that the two important envelopes are there.


If one of the envelopes says “LA LA LAND,” don’t believe it.

On the Local Newsfront:

This morning, in Auburn (where my mom last lived), an employee in the local WalMart store was stabbed five or six times.  He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

WAIT! Brace yourself for the rest of the story…….

Was he stabbed in a store robbery?  Perhaps a disgruntled customer?  Nope!  He was stabbed by one of his coworkers!!

Will Smith was asked to leave the Oscars after striking Chris Rock, but he refused to go.  Of course he refused, that is when you have him removed by the police.
