Happy National Donut Day, Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                Today is National Donut Day, so for those of you who have not, yet, I want you to go out to your local donut shop, and buy one donut!  Just one donut!

                                   Because one donut is all we are allowed to eat, all year!

                                   And do you want to know why?  Huh? Do you?
That is right, darlings!  A donut is a bullet to the heart!

Did you hear me?

A DONUT IS A BULLET TO THE HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy National Donut Day, everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Was Thornton Wilder Well Hung?????????????????????????????


                                   Now, that I have your attention, girls!  In case you've been following, we are up to June 4.  That is the night I had this crazy dream where I was trying to answer the titular question.

                                    I was a grad student in some lit course, and we were studying Thornton Wilder.  In the dream, the professor said everything was known about him, but his penis size!

                                     Girls, I am telling you, I was never sure Thornton Wilder had a penis!  I never knew if he was gay or straight.  All I know is I still have not appeared in a production of "Our Town," and am waiting to do so.  I guess I am fine for the cemetery scene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                       So, now I know Wilder was straight, married, and had two children, a girl named Catherine Dix, and a boy named Amos Tappan.  His wife was named Catherine Kerlin, and they wed in 1935!  I am guessing he had a penis, though that is not 100% confirmed, though he did marry and have children.   But I have no idea of its length or circumference.

                                          My poor husband, David.  I awoke him in the middle of the night, babbling about Thornton Wilder.  But I did not say what it was!  Good thing, or David would not have gone back to sleep!  And no, I am not having delusional fantasies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   If I were, I certainly could do better than THIS!

                                          Anyone out there who can tell me?

"It Was The Third Of June, Another Sleepy, Dusty, Delta Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                                  That is right, girls, "nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge!"

                                  On this day, Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallhatchie Bridge!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                  Does the jumping cat signify what I always suspected--that Billy Joe and the girl narrator were throwing a baby off the bridge?  An abortion or miscarriage?

                                    I have always believed that, hons!  Let me know what you think.  And don't give me any references to Robbie Benson, or Glynis O'Connor!

                                      Let Bobbie Gentry tell the story for you!  Only she knows, for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"June Is Bustin' Out, All Over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"


                               Of course, this is the other song of the month, immortalized for me by the Justin Peck choreography and the voice of Renee Fleming doing the best rendering of "June Is Bustin' Out All Over" I have ever seen or heard.  It was an honor to have seen this live!

                                So, of course, I am going to try and bring it up, for you, to hear.

                                And here it is!  Renee and Company to perform it for you!  Listen to what REAL Musical Theater, and REAL voices are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"It Was 53 Years Ago," (On June 1!) Darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                              That is right, girls, and we have never been the same since.  My generation's lives were altered, back on June 1, 1967, when The Beatles released their masterwork.  I play it on that day, every year.  But I did not get a chance to share the day with you, dolls, so I am doing it now.

                               You know, I usually only play the opening track.  But we need as much diversion this year, as we can get.  So, here is the entire album.  Listen to it in one sitting, or at your leisure.

                                  Enjoy, darlings!  Dig it!

The End Of May!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                 But the beginning of WHAT, darlings?????????????????????

                                 I don't want to be doom and gloom on here, even though it was a pretty uninformative month.  Still, some good things happened.

                                I read two magnificent works of fiction--"Angle Of Repose," by Wallace Stegner, and "Romola," by George Eliot.  Now, I have read all of her works!

                                 "At Home With Amy Sedaris" returned, to give us all love and cheer!

                                  As did my darling David...well, to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                  I am certain I either mentioned or watched a shot of that cute thing, Cucumbo, during the month of May.

                                   Some beautiful blooming is taking place in our neighborhood!  You should see our neighbor, Theresa's, azealias!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                     Nicholas, at Apple Tree on Third Avenue, is sweet and loving, and always
makes me feel better!

                                     David and I celebrated our 10th Anniversary of being together!  We split half a black and white milk shake from CARVEL.  They don't know how to make them right--too thick!

                                     But that was May, and now you know what we go on to...…………...

Girls, It Is Time For Us To Catch Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                                                          "Blanche, please, there is this FABULOUS sale at
                                                'Bulgari's' on Rodeo Drive."
                                              --Jane Hudson to Sister Blanche
                   
                                          We have lots to catch up on girls, what with David working at home, me having less access to the computer, my tiredness, and more doctor appointments. so I have to write, when I can!  These postings may be short, but they are worth it.

                                             I had a chance to write on Tuesday, but was so down I had to watch Sandra Harrison in her vam-glam make-up in 1957's "Blood Of Dracula" to cheer me up!  I laughed my head off!  And all the lesbianism, darlings!  Who the hell needs "The Killing Of Sister George?"

                                             Here we go!  Let's start with...………….
