I don't know people on castrecl well enough to ask them. Are you on there? Can you do it? It's relevant because the Sherman Brothers wrote two big musicals - Over Here and Busker Alley.


And castrecl "talks" about movie musicals all the time. 

Of course, you yourself as subject matter are extremely relevant as having produced so many cast recordings and recordings of show music over the years.


Edit: I found your promo email on this.  I'll send it to the castrecl list forwarding the info on "Richard and Me."

With today being Whitney Houston's birthday, this was a parody that back then some found in questionable taste, but maybe enough time has passed since then!

"The Hottie Guard" parody to "The Bodyguard"  -

"We've Got a Chance for Some Hottie Who's Studly"
 tune of The Bodyguard's "I Want to  Dance With Somebody Who Loves Me"

I couldn't believe I'd never posted about Miracle Mile, so I just checked Amazon to see when I'd purchased it, then I went down the rabbit hole right here all the way back to August 2015. Turns out it was BK who first posted about it in the notes, and that's when I first heard about it and ordered it right away. I had forgotten that chain of events, but what BK said then was much the same as I did this morning after my second viewing. It's an incredible discovery for L.A.-ers if you never knew about it.

Also searched Home Theater Forum for anything I could find on the Blu-ray. The negative has been totally rescanned and the result gets very high marks. They've also added a *third* newly recorded commentary and a few other new things. This is a must-have.

EDIT:   I originally thought they issued it in 4K as well. Not so, but nevertheless a huge improvement.

And... I just remembered I've got to get outta here. I'm seeing the closing performance of that Mermaid show at the outdoor theeder, and a lot of people would be pissed if I never showed up, so, time to shower and change and get over there.

I never had set chores though I was expected to help out and keep thing neat.  I never had to clean the bathrooms or mop.  I washed dishes, emptied the diswasher, helped in the kitchen, vacuumed, dusted, swept the kitchen floor, watered plants in the garden, turned the sprinkers on and off, took the trash barrels out and back in.  None of this I did on a regular basis, just when I was asked to do it.  Oh, I helped with laundry, learned how to iron & make beds properly.  We had housekeepers most of the time so for the most part I enjoyed doing whatever was needed to be done.

Vacuuming the downstairs was ok, however, I did not like doing the stairs or the upstairs.

I didn't mind washing the dishes or cleaning the sink when I was done.  I hated how if the dishcloth we used was not folded exactly right my mother would make me refold it ;D

I actually quit my job and took some time to look for a job, then not do any job searching, but I'm officially drawing my retirement, so I have all the time in the world. :) This means I did retire earlier than normal, but the pay difference really isn't that much and it definitely was worth it.  I just got in a rut at work and couldn't get out, so I left.  But my mortgage and car are paid off, so I really don't have a lot of expenses. 

Wow!  I just thought you were taking more overdue vacation days.  I did not pick up on the fact that you haven't talked about work.  When did you actually retire from your job?

Well, I quit...longer ago than I care to admit ::) but I just started drawing retirement March 31st.  That will be, of course, for the rest of my life. 


Congratulations, George!

I haven't started drawing Social Security yet, and by the time I do, hopefully, something will still be there. :-\

Fingers crossed it still is.  Until then, are you still using the insurance plan through the library?

No.  I was on Molina for a while when I wasn't working, but now that I'm drawing my retirement, I chose a plan through Ambetter.

DR George, do you still work? I don't think you've mentioned the library in any of your posts for at least a year now.

Singdaw, you are quite observant...and I've avoided mentioning it because, well, I don't know why. ::)

I’ve avoided asking about it because I don’t know why either! But it sounds like a happy thing.

I'm not really familiar with either, and have never heard of Ambetter.  Vibes you are very pleased with them.

We tried Mort's Deli - of course, David and I have been there many times, but it was just taken over recently by the owners of The Nosh in Beverly Hills. Sad to say that the pastrami, despite the request of lean, was too fatty for me and certainly nowhere near Langer's or Daughter's Deli. But it was fun and I gave David his copy of Vegas Can Be Murder.  Lots of fun conversation was had by the likes of us.

After lunch, we went next door to Bea's Bakery - I got a couple of chocolate chip muffins - one for today, one for the morning.
