Well, you've read the notes, the notes were filled to the brim with gist, and now it is time for you to post until the gist of the cows come home.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

That's a great barstool and a wonderful painting, BK!

I wanted to sleep longer, but three raucous cats this morning absolutely forbade it. First, Stella climbed into bed and walked all over me. then Thatch knocked a couple of plastic bottles of Purell, a roll of paper towels, and the phone onto the floor. That got me moving.

Then, while I was making my coffee, Annabelle leaped onto the kitchen sink, nearly burning herself with boiling water and knocking an open tub of non-dairy creamer into the sink. All is now quiet and peaceful, which always happens after their breakfast.

I successfully entered all of the ASCAP registrations and managed to get - after more tsuris than I needed - the audio book for Annabelle & Thatch.

BK, to the mind of this CPA/lawyer, that's a fascinating tale about your dealings with Heritage.

And music stand! I have two of those tripod locking stands. The best ever.

Mine are now close to 20 years old (!) and one of them doesn't hold in position as well as it should. It now works best as a laptop stand for when I'm using MainStage.

DR MichaelG sez:

No, I hadn't heard of it. Looking it up on Wikipedia I can see why, it doesn't sound like the type of movie I enjoy, even with Detroit locations.

Understood. It's a weird one. Its locations, as I recall, are somewhat nondescript neighborhood-y ones.

R.I.P. Terence Stamp.  Here's the link to the Times obituary.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/17/movies/terence-stamp-dead.html
"Terence Stamp, Luminary of 1960s British Cinema, Dies at 87
Known for his “heartbreak blue eyes,” he starred in “Billy Budd” and “The Collector,” and had a memorable role in “Superman” and “Superman II.”"

DR George, fun pictures of THE HEAD! How do you feel the presentation went? Did you win the prize? Was there a prize?

Thanks, Larry!  I think it went pretty well, especially considering that we only had one day to set up, do a partial run-through, and take everything down.  All the comments afterward were very complimentary.

And there wasn't a prize.  We just had the opportunity to present our show to a larger audience than we ever had before.

Terence Stamp was always an interesting actor. I first saw him in BILLY BUDD and thought he was terrific!
