Good night, all.

Jennifer Jones is a name I heard many times growing up. At family gatherings my dad and my uncle, Ed Fitzgerald, would talk shop. Eddie was forever talking about how certain stars only wanted to be shot from a certain side. For some reason Jennifer Jones' name came up many times, too. Eddie would often call me that, a sort of nickname, which strikes me as strange now since Miss Jones was a brunette and I was then very blonde. I think I saw only one of her films and I can't even recall which one.

I am so much happier with the clean bathroom. Accomplishing that yesterday was getting an albatross off my neck and I'm sure I will find something else to obsess and fret over.

I often feel that way about cleaning. A couple years ago a military officer who served in Afghanistan wrote a piece for the NY Times, in which he said something like, "When there's chaos all around you, make your bed." I can really relate to that.

DR Jeanne, Kimberly Guilfoyle was on the Fox News group of misinformation; she was sacked for behavior, like displaying photos of her latest boyfriend's rubber parts and talking about her sex life. There seems to be some intimation she was great on the casting couch approach to employment, and one source for the new book Hoax: Donald Trump, Fox News, and the Dangerous Distortion of Truth says her actions in landing Donny Jr. were desperate.

I didn't know any of this. She certainly got a lot of attention this week. David Brooks, the conservative columnist, has an opinion piece in today's NY Times about the "mean world" of Trump, and mentions how it can transform people. He then referred a 2004 Charlie Rose interview with her and then-husband Gavin Newsom, where she comes across completely differently from her Red Dress Speech (if you could call it a speech).

Last night, Jacqueline Du Pre’s sad story was mentioned. It was the basis of an odd, exceptionally well-acted movie called Hilary and Jackie. Her art was sidestepped in favor of the soap opera aspects of her life, but the actresses, Emily Watson and Rachel Griffiths, were superb.

It was an odd film, but one that I found quite interesting. Bruce, I think you'd like it.

So now we're supposed to expect more severe thunderstorm activity this afternoon and evening. Lordy.

California could really, really, really, really use some rain right about now. Jrand, can you help with that?

Tonight, I learned that a coworker's husband is being tested for COVID-19. He got a negative result, but the doctor thinks it's a false negative and has ordered another test.

Sorry to hear this. I think the doctor is right in retesting. Vibes for your co-worker and her husband.

Today I think the volume of bad news was getting me down. There's just so much of it!

I was talking with a friend the other day who has been living with an extremely difficult family situation for many years now. When we talk I have to guard against picking up her despair and depression. It won't help her at all, nor will it help me.

Vibes to us all for more GOOD NEWS!

The Hilary and Jackie film is largely fiction. I found a beautiful ballet about Jacqueline last night - don't know how long it will be up but I just kind of loved it. It's called The Cellist. Here's a link: https://youtu.be/ycBFo4FEMQM

I gotta tell you.

Around five I drove to Jerry's Deli - got a turkey sandwich to bring home. It was excellent and that's IT for food today and I've got to be on that kind or regimen for weeks. I'm done with crazy eating for no reason. Last night was the straw that broke the Kimmel's back, I'm afraid. Jerry's now has wait staff from nine to four for outdoor dining, so I'll go have a breakfast there tomorrow morning to kill time.
