A FAREWELL TO ARMS

Well, you've read the notes, the notes had arms until we said farewell to them, and now it is time for you to post until the farewell cows come home.

I'm back from our opening night. The performance went splendidly, the orgy scene was great fun as always, and the cookies all disappeared at the cast party afterwards. Saturday is an off day, then we have a Sunday matinee. Good night!

This has been a morning of drops, spills, and other messes, so I'm canceling all plans - there weren't many! - and  taking it easy today.

How did the scenery deal with the collapsing temple?

BK, I've been through four hours of Epstein documentary, one hour of Ghislaine Maxwell documentary, and we have a suspected pedophile president. I'll pass on Grandpa the Pedophile chiropracter.

Last night I finished the first season of The House of Guinness. Episodes 1 & 2 could have set up the characters better and the accents are sometimes hard to follow, but once the series got rolling, I really enjoyed it. The season ended with a real cliffhanger.

Book sale was okay. Sold 10 copies. The place was fun. Lively. I want to return.

BK, I've been through four hours of Epstein documentary, one hour of Ghislaine Maxwell documentary, and we have a suspected pedophile president. I'll pass on Grandpa the Pedophile chiropracter.


With Ghislaine Maxwell back in the news due to her lawyer seeking a pardon for her from the President  - This was my Facebook post from July, when her lawyer David Oscar Markus (who's also one of the lawyers helping my brother Macbeth Landau in his inheritance theft fraud and scam) was constantly on the news.

July 2025

You could play a drinking game taking a sip of coffee every time the name of high-powered, high-priced attorney David Oscar Markus, attorney for Ghislaine Maxwell, is on the news these days.
 
And he was also just as high-profile in 2020 as today - and the involvement of such a high-powered attorney anywhere in - wait for it! - the Landau family's finances or estate matters against - again, wait for it! - me, makes no sense!

A puzzlement:  What is the "money" or "pull" that got as high-powered, high-profile an attorney as David Markus anywhere near my family's finances, actively looking out for the interests of these inheritance theft scammers - my brother Hilary (Macbeth) Landau and his wife Joann (Lady Macbeth) Landau, against me.

But David Markus' name is all over the attorney invoice.
I had hired a Florida attorney named Paul Berman, paid him over $15,000 as MY lawyer - but there David Markus is, on the Paul Berman invoice, working against my interests.

Who got as high-powered an attorney as David Markus doing this?  This high-powered lawyer represents the interests of  people like Hillary Clinton and Ghislaine Maxwell -  and also somehow my brother Hilary Landau and his wife Joann Landau!

I wonder if BK's publisher  would allow my memoir under a title like "The Day Ghislaine Maxwell's Lawyer F***ed Me" through their vetting system.

When I was around 3-4, I learned to read from the labels on the 78 recordings in my grandmother's house. My favorite was the 1948 Boston Pops recording of Khatchaturian's "sabre Dance" from the ballet Gayne. I've loved Arthur Fiedler ever since. He remains one of my favorite conductors. I think he is overloooked because he was a pops conductor and therefore not a serious artiste. As far as erned, he's right up there with Ormandy.

I still wait for BMG to release his recording of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker excerpts; they've issued bits on various Fiedler compilations, but the complete LP recording has never been released. I'd also love a complete Fiedler-Disney set tjay omcluded his monaural recordings, like his  wonderful medley from Disney's Alice in Wonderland

A complete Boston Pops compilation;ation would be nice.

Today is Grandson's birthday party -- a kids' party at a kid venue. I've enjoyed the family celebrations. But it is time for him to celebrate with kids. I'm sure it will be loud.
