Keith got Wordle in three, not bad considering he had nothing on the first line.

Our last film class is tonight - it's supposed to be Gold Diggers of 1933, unless he changes his mind.

Most wonderful movie. We’re in the Money.

I liked the Big Chef almost as much as I loved the Big Mac.

Usually I was at the mercy at whoever was at the wheel of the automobile.....

Vibes for DR RODZINSKI....it is obviously psychosomatic and can be resolved by consulting the spirit and surrendering to its power.

Already dark.

I bought some Christmas candies today.....and so I am enjoying it as time goes by.

Peppermint bites and caramel bits.

Temps are headed to the single digits tonight.

UGH.

Pair of keets are safely undercover.

I probably need an MRI on my right shoulder as I cannot lift my arm above my head. Something is amiss.

Is it possible you have "frozen shoulder"?

I have no physicians with any interests I can bond with. Literally the only thing that comes to mind is the anesthesiologist at my last Roto-Rootering (a.k.a. colonoscopy) who liked that I had lived in California, as he had. So instead of having me count backwards or anything, he had me describe my route driving up the coast from L.A. to wherever. I hardly got past Malibu before I was out.

Slow drain in the kitchen.....I guess it's time for some Drain-O.

I had that some ten years ago, first in one shoulder and later in the other. It would take, say, several weeks to get really bad, and then several more weeks to gradually ease up and go away by itself. It was some kind of "frozen shoulder" thing. Never had it since. Damndest thing.

I know people who have done PT to help it go away faster, others left it alone.

My new primary care doctor is from Detroit so we bond over that. Not quite as good as the music but she's a fine doctor.

You are lucky to have found a good doctor.

My rheumatologist says he's not retiring any time soon; he's the oldest of my current crew. I wouldn't think my dentist or optometrist would be retiring soon either given their ages.

Excellent.

Fortunately my new ones are good. My former primary care doctor was a jazz pianist so we bonded over music; I even saw him once at the big NAMM trade show!

Not much I want to see on tv tonight....time will tell.

I did order the two-BluRay set of Reflections In A Golden Eye that includes director John Huston's original tinted version of the film which I haven't seen.

Probably the last film that had Mr. Marlon Brando in his "sexy" persona. And Miss E. Taylor at her most shrill and irritating.

Jrand75 · « **Reply #168 on:** December 04, 2025, 03:38:07 PM »

I am trying to imagine what it would have been like with E.T. and Montgomery Clift in the leading roles. Certainly MUCH different than what we see.

Jrand75 · « **Reply #169 on:** December 04, 2025, 03:38:18 PM »

Come on Friday.

Jrand75 · « **Reply #170 on:** December 04, 2025, 03:41:29 PM »

I guess that should be:

Come on, Friday.

Punctuation makes all the difference.

Auctions are done. One was illustration art - not a single deal to be had, which means a lot of the bidding up was being done by dealers. Happily, things went for good money and several pieces were by artists whose work I own.

Visit was less than five minutes. That was good.

Food was orange chicken - half order. Sometimes you get a bit more, sometimes a bit less - today was more of a quarter order than half.

bk · « **Reply #174 on:** December 04, 2025, 03:53:59 PM »

It was good, though.

bk · « **Reply #175 on:** December 04, 2025, 03:55:29 PM »

The other auction was books. Some bargains to be had in that one. But a full seven-book set of first editions for The Chronicle of Narnia books? 30K. And these weren't in that good of condition. But the reasonable stuff was in such ratty condition I wouldn't even allow it on my shelf.

bk · « **Reply #176 on:** December 04, 2025, 03:55:52 PM »

Ratty books never re-sell well.

bk · « **Reply #177 on:** December 04, 2025, 03:56:14 PM »

Primo condition books do hold their value very well.

I have shaved.

Shortly I will shower.
