    The Era -- Day By Day

    Ensign Kane left in uniform, rather odd. All uniform basic issue only occurs after induction. A bit premature cartoonist pen, that. Connie is however her stunning self. Kane will rue this day. I think it was Owen who scribbled prose doggerel that soldiers dream of warm beds and wives. Most...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Your dad is an interesting character. I like his wartime language acquisition with German, wish I had that particular gift of tongues instead of struggling all night with text and lecture notes. Recall the post war photo you posted with him wearing his discharge suit and sporting that Hollywood...

    What's the worst coffee worldwide?

    Irish poet scoundrels such as meself lad have plebeian taste buds eclipsed by more patrician palates such as yours, so dealer's choice in the caffeine game typically suffices; added insult is my lack of coffee bean lingo. o_O What brands I have tried put to experience and if not broke never...

    ^pyjamadoux, Comme je l'ai fait remarquer dans votre fil de pyjama, dormez nu comme un chat.;) -------- Weather forecasters, television and radio, have been using nor'easter here all winter. Maine guys in the Army really didn't speak English...;)

    “Casablanca” 80th anniversary

    Harmetz I loved, will look into Plath. Edward, please dig out that treasure and post all particulars. Aside from my heart having been struck by Cupid's golden arrow and since puberty being hopelessly in love with Ingrid Bergman, Casablanca is more, much much more than a mere 'classic' film. No...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A month or two ago my brother-in-law and I watched Grayhound, a WWII convoy study of American destroyer escort Atlantic against German submarines intent on search and destroy patrol-torpedo mayhem. Fantastic cat-and-mouser; right up your alley Trench.

    Do You Stick to One Decade?

    Imelda's 11 Past the Hour have not yet heard. Covid really put present tense front burner kettle towards back, but the fire is still lit. Her cover of Patsy Cline's I Go Walking masterfully captured rockabilly damascene of southern lunar lovestruck mood "...Here there is no light, save what from...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Caught The Queen's Gambit episode #7-8 last week. Finally, and this tail-end hit the spot. If you can read the book first, though its not remarkable, a sense of scene and setting lays storyline superbly against a fast paced chess prodigy to world championship odyssey.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Thanks Lizzie. I certainly missed reading the tabloids here. The Era and all its hellish realities serve focus on present time in a manner I certainly never appreciated.

    What's the worst coffee worldwide?

    Ethiopean coffee tastes death warmed over, scorched, bitter. Ditto Sumatran. Coffee grown in Peru, Costa Rica, and Chiapas, Mexico top my list of the definite best.

    What Are You Reading

    Interesting comparison of Salter and Lawrence; which goes beyond, much further than Charlotte Bronte's The Professor, the first thought that came to mind. Gifted the latter to a gal pal whom seemed somehow stuck with Hugo's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Like Melville's Moby Dick led Tolstoy and...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Too late for all the felonious huba-huba, who is Hecuba and what is Hecuba to me? stuff, but it is good to be back to some regular Model Penal Code rigor mortis rules and regs again. Grignio slapped with second class Murder; under the current felony murder doctrine would have been charged first...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Thanks, all good. Banished thirty days confinement post stockade, ban lifted today so I am back. My bad. Cannot say wasn't warned and had ample rope thrown courtesy staff, so I have no one other than myself to blame. Although appreciative of slack cut I went across the line gushing about Erin...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Back in the day before cell phones, vcr, CD when televised films were shown over free dog run channels WLS Chicago periodically ran Anatomy Of A Murder; unfortunately I never caught this flick first inning but managed to snatch occasional snippets such as the sidebar betwixt Judge, Scott, and...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    After watching this evening's CNN coverage of Ukraine and the local populace love of country and their selfless courage, I read this thread and the violence displayed by armed men and women with disgust. I also must remark the use of guns for murder within Cupid's constituency. Time perhaps...

    Do You Stick to One Decade?

    Glad to hear...absolutely nothing wrong with being a maverick-in-or-out of class; however, for making a 'statement' the laconic bow tie is unbeatable. In class, court, judicial chambers, office-or corridor-a bow tie is always noticed. And creates an indelible impression. Guys can stamp their...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    It is difficult to reconcile personal bias against capital punishment and read about the Broz killing. Her boyfriend Mr MacDonald apparently shot her inside a public venue despite her protestation, all for adolescent jealousy. Both deceased and assailant were minors, each just seventeen years...
