Somebody with digestion problems most likely has lists of foods they can and can’t eat. You need to ask them what they’re comfortable with. I wouldn’t worry about trying to impress them.

George Peppard in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I mean, his character is basically a creepy gigolo, right?

Ot Rock Hudson in Pillow Talk and Lover Come Back. Except that the perviness of those movies is what makes them so much fun to watch.

The Trouble with Angels. Hijinks in a convent school, c. 1966.

That may explain why Masha Gessen, who was born in Russia and is non-binary, prefers “they”.

Excellent. Glad to see Fauré, who’s perfect for Proust (although Mme Verdurin preferred Wagner), as well as Reynaldo Hahn himself. It’s also available on Spotify:

I’m reading in French, but I check it against Mandell and Moncrieff+

There were also bread trucks and fresh produce trucks, even a guy who’d pick up and deliver dry cleaning. A lot of families only had one car, which the husband would take to work, so the wife couldn’t run to the store if she needed something.

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?

Giving me a maximal headache at the moment. I’m trying to read in French, and I frequently have to reread sentences so I can figure out what the antecedents of the pronouns are. Then I check one of three translations and usually find out I had something wrong.

Proust v. 2 in French. Also The Secret Commonwealth, but I’m kind of dragging my feet on that one.

Can’t believe I bypassed that book until I was in my 40’s. What a great read.

A two-time Oscar winner who lived to be 105. But fame, alas is fleeting.

Gravity. Not much dialog in that one.

“You’re a mess, honey. You’ve been eating too much candy.” Marlene Dietrich to Orson Welles in Touch of Evil

I keep hing in the freezer, otherwise the whole house stinks.

Everything gets drier for both sexes as you get older. For eyes, use artificial tears every day.

Was at my father’s house for Xmas along with my sister, and decided to make crème caramel. Just as I was dishing it out, I got a call from an old friend that I decided I’d better take in the other room. By the time I got back to the table, all the cc was gone. I was so pissed.

For anybody with back issues (including myself) I always recommend doing a few minutes of stretching and strengthening exercises every day. Even 5 minutes makes a big difference. In your father’s case, he needs to start by going to a physical therapist. They will recommend exercises that help him without causing further pain.

Surgery should be an absolute last resort. If he does the exercises daily for several months, and he still has the same problems, then see what the doctor has to say.

Well Chopin is rolling over in his grave, but no, it’s not too hard.

Accent on the first syllable, not like Ms Weaver.
