Nothing exotic or high class about my screen name: I live in Buda, TX. Well, technically I guess not quite in since the city limit is on the state road in front of my house. But it is part of my mailing address.

Hope you had a enjoyable Birthday.

The late George Jones would have called you an old-timer.
More complementary than me calling you an old faught.
That's how it rolls off the tongue in Massachusetts.

Thanks Jimimac71, all the more appreciated considering your typing problem. Many thanks. I don't speak Massachusetts-ese and I don't know what "faught" means but here in Sunny Cal most refer me as an "old muck." (expurgated). Cheers!

Think f-word for flatulence. My typing is not a problem really. I was born premature and my eyesight has always been stupid. I live in what some call North of the Gate. On a good day, I'm an hour North of San Francisco.

Thank You.

May I say you have been a fave poster over the years. Sharp quips and mucho LOLs, etc., as well as perceptive viewpoints, and very genuine.

Cheers!

Thank you!

What did you do to celebrate?

You are NO lunatic!
She's truly a sweet & adorable Nordic movie goddess!

Oh, if you could read my mind sometimes....But there's a couple of film things coming up later this year.

1) The Library of Congress Festival of Film & Sound (https://www.loc.gov/events/film-and-sou ... his-event/), June 15-18, at AFI Silver, Silver Spring, MD.

2) Capitolfest 2023 (https://www.romecapitol.com/cf20info/), August 11-13, Capitol Theater, Rome, NY.

Tikisoo and I have already talked about Capitolfest. Is anyone else going? And is anyone here besides me going to the LOC event? The AFI main theater dates from 1938 and has been beautifully restored.
