I just sent the following to a friend in response to something else, and decided what the hell, I may as well share it here:
I was so busy, I didn't even have time to give feral sons Uday and
Qusay their daily beating.
Spent a needed day with wifey. Went to the outdoor farmer's market yesterday
morning in the heart of Hudson. Took our goodies home after
making fast friends with a happy poodle pup we met along the way, and then went
to the art fair -- we always get our Christmas cards from a
local artist who does home-towny Thomas Kincaid-type stuff we're suckers for.
Then went to visit my Mom. She got out of the hospital a week ago after having
her knee replaced. Visited, went grocery shopping for her, then found out
she forgot her cell phone charge cord at the recovery hospital-- they couldn't
find it so we had to buy a new one.
After that it was time to grill bacon cheeseburgers in time to leave by 7, when
we went to Blossom --every year I get her Cleveland
Symphony Orchestra summer season tickets, and we take out lawn chairs and listen under
the stars, last night to Bach and Liszt, followed by the main event, Carmina
Burana, which I just then realized is where Milius got some of the music for
his Conan the Barbarian movie.
We got home in time for me to light a cigar on the back porch, pour a couple
fingers of the good stuff, and continue my appreciation for the arts and
culture by watching horror host Svengoolie
present "Abbot and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
I hope with all the negative crap we feel compelled to devote so much of
ourselves to dealing with, you find time for soul restoration and just plain
enjoyment for its own sake.

Good kinda busy.
Hope mom is feeling better.
It ain't easy. Picking her up in a few to bring her here for salmon and corn on the cob.
Still wish I smoked my pipe, but even so, doing good things to clear the mind is always in order.
R&R is a necessity to keep pushing ahead in the war for sanity.
Svengoolie...David, David. A pale imitation of Ghoulardi at best. Those were the days in Paaarma!
I remember Ernie Anderson well. After him -- confession -- freshman year, me 'n some college buddies were on Houlihan and Big Chuck's "New Talent Time." Big thrill to be coming back to the dorm after class and be told Chuck Schodowski called in ref to my letter proposing our act, and left his office number. I'm certainly glad that tape is forever lost (I hope).
I'd like to see that tape lol. Then again there is some stuff I hope is lost too! Daughter off to college in a couple days. So we drove around and got an ice cream cone. Well one each -s-. Quiet evening here with cigar and some vodka/crsnberry with lime. And the world turns.....
Svengoolie!
A few months ago I go to watch "Monolith Monsters" after last seeing it maybe 40 years ago.
Back then men were men and women were ladies.
Took guts to blow up that dam. Wouldn't happen today.
That was the one where the giant alien crystals were going to take over everything in their path but could be dissolved with water-- biggest thing for me in that was Lola Albright, Peter Gunn's main squeeze, and a girl from my hometown, Akron, OH. What a total babe.
That movie was soooooo cool on a limited budget.
I've re-imagined over the the years a faithful remake with CGI (only to make it verisimilar).
Now, as to casting, and the Lola replacement specifically, I'm open to suggestions.
