I saw lightning. But I have little hope for rain.

That was great fun! The article says it's "Morgana King's 'A Quiet Thing,' but that sure sounds like la Streisand to me.

We had a deluge this morning, accompanied by quite an extravagant thunder/lightning storm.

Had tuna sandwiches for food.

Finally got the second thing that Heritage Auctions had not listed and never returned. Perhaps I'll tell that little story in the notes. They had two items - the very rare first edition of Badge of Evil (the source for Touch of Evil), which I got back a few weeks ago, and then a beautifully framed one-sheet size poster of Morocco, with Gary Cooper and Marlene Dietrich. Not the actual one-sheet, which has sold for upwards of 100K, but a gorgeous reproduction of it, an original painting by the man who was the greatest poster restoration guy ever - Igor Edelman. I commissioned him to do it back in the 90s, and it really is stunning and I'm glad to have it back. I'll photo it and put it in the notes.

Looking forward to your telling that story in the notes!

Cool. I just got Touch of Evil. Need to find time to watch it.

Tonight I watched a silent Paul Robeson film called Body and Soul. It was silly, but he had great presence.

Today I must continue my ASCAP registration of the ballet's orchestra suites, which will be tedious. I also have to deal with an Annabelle & Thatch audio book glitch.

Hope both issues go well, Larry!
