Bernie, I saw the Robert Downey film remake last week. I kept trying to compare it with the last century's original film. The disadvantage is that the original made for TV was in weekly segments and Downey's film was not. I would love to see the original in one does of wonderment.

Hey, Bernie, how about going for a short walk with the love of your life? I see Lola has your leash in hand.

I LOVE the serial form, perhaps from those cliff-hanger westerns when I was a kid. The one-week-wait delays gratification in the most exquisite manner and a masterful writer like Potter can use that form to great advantage.

Yup, I'm well leashed.

He looks better without his hat.

We watched as much as we could of My Dinner with Andre a couple of months ago......it wasn't what I remembered it to be. Times have changed perhaps. I like the hat. Still he looks good with or without it.

But here he is with Frank one week before the big event.....with the hat.

By all means, fly here for a visit and smooch away.

I confess I could not watch very much of the Downey film version simply because of how it compared - for me - with the original. As to Gambon's performance...every time I see it again or read the screenplay again, I find myself utterly amazed. The combination of Potter's created characters and the quality of the directing (equally true in Pennies or Lipstick) encouraged acting of the very highest calibre. Have you seen Lipstick on Your Collar? If not, rent it.

I'm not sure what oddnesses I might be manifesting (or that I might have left behind). When my heart stopped, I didn't schmooze with god even briefly and that's likely a good thing as I'm certain we would both have been quite disappointed and there would have been words. I'm moving slowly, internally and externally, and that's partly prudence, partly bruising, and likely something to do with beta blockers. I've been quick to anger a few times, but I'm not at all sure that is something new. One significant factor in all of this too is that I've been without my wonderful, beautiful, manna-like cigarettes and I have yet to decide whether life can possibly have any meaning at all without them.

I am a very naughty Wabbit!

You may spank me......

frank......the frying pan, yes, that would be fun. We'll see.

My goddess - how true it was that people hospitalized with those out of control skin diseases were often experiencing profound emotional crisis - and there they were - wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger.

I have never as a therapist experienced such a series of circumstances for working with people that was able to facilitate such massive change in such a short period of time.

Ahem - people describe sex as taking a lot longer, but being majestic, as long as you do not give up.......
