Talk about too many choices!!!

The kitchen in our villa is out of commission for the next three days; the fire was contained to the eating area. That should teach Mother to gesture so wildly whilst holding a lit Taretyon in one hand and an old Carl's Jr Bugs Bunny glass full of Drambuie in the other. We'll have to call St. Victor's later this morning and see how Father Tilden's facial burns are doing.

Anyway, while enjoying a light breakfast of Pancakes Barbara and Creme de Menthe in Miss Crawford's villa (apparently now redecorated entirely in a Pepsi motif, and now called the "Villa diPepsi"), I discovered that today is a shared birthday of two important people:
Mr. Mooney born 1906Happy 82nd, Miss Stritch
And, in terms of loss, on this date in 1969, we hardly knew ye, Boris Karloff, aka "Smiley". Twelve years ago this date marked the passing of Gene Kelly. Mr Kelly's iconic piece of work: And from "On the Town"
