Today is the birthday of W.R. Burnett.

Who was W.R. Burnett?

He was the author of some of the greatest crime novels (later movies) ever written. Among them: LITTLE CAESAR, HIGH SIERRA, THIS GUN FOR HIRE and THE ASPHALT JUNGLE. His last film credit was THE GREAT ESCAPE.

I was fortunate enough to interview Mr. Burnett back in the 1970s for one of my books, and he was later a guest in my home when I screened for him LITTLE CAESAR and another film he'd written, the original SCARFACE.

A fascinating man. I wrote about him in my 2nd memoir, LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD.

My dreams last night were scattershot.

Scattershot, I tell you.

It's ASK BK DAY.....so I will ask all of my fellow Dear Readers.....what is your favorite BK disc that is not a show/specific movie soundtrack/or singer Volume?

I can name a couple as examples:

Not of This Earth - the Ronald Stein CD
Superman - music from the TV series
Titanic - movie & show songs/tunes
Jeepers Creepers Songs From Horror Films

I didn’t get to watch Marnie last night, so I’ll be doing that in a couple of hours.

I’ve been remembering many of the visuals, but I completely forget what the music was like, so this will be most interesting.

One of the reviews said the Winston Graham novel is quite a good one, and I want to read it. I had done so back in my ‘70s Hitchcock days, but my copy the book is long gone.

The amount of sage sausage I make is always more than is needed for the stuffing, so, as is my yearly wont, I just had some of it with a couple of over easy eggs and a large slice of sourdough toast. OH MY GOD is that a good meal.

And now...

More coffee!

My last time seeing Mothra was in 35mm at the wonderful Colonial Theater in Phoenixville PA during their annual BlobFest around 2013 or 2014. I look forward to watching the new Blu-ray.

In a little while I’ll see what else I can prepare in advance for tomorrow. Chopping the herbs, certainly. Maybe chopping the dried cranberries, or can I leave those whole? I don’t remember. That’s for the stuffing; maybe they should be cut down some.

I think that’s about it. Everything else I do involves fresh stuff in the morning, and that’s easy. Am I really almost done with this for today?

I am surprised not to have heard this.

We got paid today, a day early because of the holiday. Here’s one thing I’m thankful for: I can make my last student loan payment today.

Oh my, that is something to celebrate, DR JohnG. Congratulations!

Wednesday morning greetings! After doing it for 3 years in a row, it seems funny not to be driving today to my niece's in Illinois for the Thanksgiving weekend. She's in Florida and her parents (my sister and her husband) are staying home in Michigan. I think we girls will continue our "Crafting on Black Friday" tradition on line.
