First was our whale watch tour, where we saw plenty of humpback whales plus a bonus of bottlenose dolphins.

Then to the aquarium, where we finished with an astronomy lecture from our professor on this tour. It was about why Hawaii is so good for telescopes.

A local high school sophomore was a guest. She just had her paper published in a journal our professor edits.

One of the telescopes we visited yesterday is for education outreach. Her co-author was one of our guides.

What is everyone's favorite Carroll Baker film performance?

I like ALL OF THEM....but her return to American film in Andy Warhol's BAD is especially entertaining.

MichaelG, I am loving the Maui posts. I love that island.

Are you doing a whale-watching trip? I have never been there in the winter, so I haven’t seen them.

It’s been a long day.

John Legend and Lynn Nottage have written a musical version of Imitation of Life.

It’s not a story that I need to revisit.

Nothing against either film version, but the pain is just too great.

My mother loved it though, especially the original. She was a huge Claudette Colbert fan.

John G. · « **Reply #140 on:** February 12, 2026, 08:17:33 PM »

I saw Claudette on stage with Rex Harrison, Lynn Redgrave, Jeremy Brett and George Rose in Aren’t We All?
