Well my cable was out during the Oscars this year and I didn't feel I missed anything. Looks like I will not be missing anything in the years to come. Part of the problem with the Oscars is that it's been trying to be a few funny gags mixed in with a bunch of people who seem to have a stick up there ass being there. This is why I love the Tony Awards. The whole night seems like a celebration of the industry. It really feels like everyone is having a fun time, the performances are entertaining, the speeches good. For a number of years they were trying to get presenters that would appeal to the masses, but it was Neil Patrick Harris really who turned it into a Broadway love fest and they have been really embracing the idea to just play to the Broadway fans. Emmy's still seem fun but they need to figure out how to categorize better. I don't watch the Grammys as I don't listen to modern music and therefore don't know who half these people are. The Oscars really have a problem that continues even before the Oscars Too White issue. i don't think this is going to fix it.

Oh this is great.

I saw that pop up yesterday and thought, how sweet.

Lucie and Lily and Fran reviews. http://www.post-journal.com/news/page-one/2018/08/lily-tomlin-triggers-eruption-of-laughter/ http://www.post-journal.com/news/page-one/2018/08/arnaz-brings-musical-reflection-to-jamestown/ http://www.post-journal.com/news/local-news/2018/08/laughter-and-life/

Closer use to do much more classy articles on Lucy. I wonder why they are falling in to the trash publication end now. I saw the exact same headline and picture on one of the true gossip mags last month that Closer used for a cover last year. Yeah, don't think I'll be getting any more of these. I really only have picked up a few, the one with the Gary love letters was the last as I knew people who contributed their letters. I mostly just grab one in the store, read it and put it back on the shelf, as the info is rarely new.

She's so over all the yelling. Albert, go eat your lunch!

I was wondering why as I knew it wasn't a new event.

Book Signing Info: Chris Olsen will be at Lucy Lane signing his new book Lucy Comes Home, Thursday and Friday from 9am-2pm. If you have the book bring it along. If not, copies are $30.

From an interview in 84' I was rewatching recently all her kids seemed to log the miles on the road in the early 80s.

Yeah, I wonder what they are going to do with all the people who had the noon tickets and Fran tickets.

Wow, I didn't think Lucy would do a cross country train trip at this time in her life. Amtrak then or now is nothing like train travel back in the 30s and 40s when she did traveling that way. No wonder she was displeased. I will never do an overnight train trip unless it's at Orient Express levels.

I think they changed the time on this. I think it was originally at noon. As it still says lunch will be served. AUGUST 3 @ 5PM TROPICANA ROOM BARRY DOUGHERTY is being shown at noon.

Sophia Loren has sort of a Ruth Bader Ginsburg thing going on.

I think it may be another time. That was me who pieced some Wanda stories she told on Stu's show. Lucie was in New Mexico doing a movie so she left Simon with Lucy and that's when the pool video was made is my best guess. Stu talks about coming over with his video camera and showing Frank how to use it. Stu also went on to say that Lucie didn't know about this video until the early 90s when he showed it to her. Wanda said that Lucy came down with the flu that week and Lucie missed Simon so Wanda flew him to NM. So looks like the kid was ok to fly and the way I'm reading it Lucy didn't take the train to NYC. It's worded kind of weird. I'm assuming this was during the time Lucie was living in NYC, so I don't see why Lucy would go to NYC.
