My deepest sympathies, JRand. How horrible. So sorry for your loss.

Irene Papas has died. I was watching her in Zorba this week.

I just blew an entire morning going down a completely unplanned rabbit hole.

So often, it only takes one tiny insignificant question popping into one’s head. You think, yeah, as long as I'm sitting here I’ll just take a minute and see if I can look that up ... and that’s it. I ended up with some other good finds, while the original thing remains a mystery. And it really is insignificant, since I was never in the place or knew anyone who was. I just have a memory of seeing it many times in passing, and I'm curious about it.

But ... guess what! It's ASK BK DAY, that's what!  :)

So ...

BK, there was something that looked like a nice restaurant on the north side of Wilshire between Robertson and La Cienega. When I lived on Clark Dr. in the late 1970s I could walk to Dolores or the Fine Arts, and I was always struck by its subtle low-lit design. I'm sure I saw its name then, but the place wasn't anything flashy, with no big signage or anything. Does that make any sense at all?

Oh my god, DR Jrand72, I am so sorry to hear this. And I was posting right over it. That's such a shock, and a loss, and you have my condolences. I'm so sorry.

Long before Sen-Sen's were discontinued in 2013 I had thought they stopped making them.  I can't recall the last time I saw any for sale.

You can still find them for sale.  I found a small package on eBay for only $49.99 + $1.50 shipping.

Have you heard anything about your Access-A-Ride renewal status?

Strangely, no, but every time I book a trip, it goes through!

I am planning on ordering a filet mignon topped with blue cheese.

Sounds wonderful. Wish I could eat blue cheese. It aggravates my mold allergies something wicked.

I can feel the headache.

Just got a promotional email from Footlight Records highlighting BK's "Titanic" compilation. I thought that was out of print? Maybe these are CD-Rs?

Mr Yeko never met a bootleg he couldn't take advantage of.

55-46-53.

No, those are not my measurements.

Well, wait, maybe they are these days. Let's not go there to find out.

Those are our next three overnight lows; i.e., perfect windows-open no-fans no-AC sleeping weather. And then it warms back up. But I shall really enjoy these.

Randy's son Cory works in the CIA, so Friday is "bring your family to work" day. Randy is flying to DC to go with Cory, his wife and two children t the CIUA on Friday. I wish I could go as well.
