Notes From All Over, The Late Evening Edition -- December 18, 2020

First things first: wow, what a great Barbara Stanwyck movie on TCM. And, wow, what a cutie Ms Stanwyck was at that age. LOL. Absolutely amazing: one of her better roles, I do believe, and it's not even mentioned in her wiki entry. Later: wow, wow, wow. Now this, following the Barbara Stanwyck movie. Now The Apartment.

By the way, it looks like the Golden State is counting on the Biden administration to save this debacle. LOL. That's fine with me. I have no dog in this fight. I'm simply getting out the popcorn to watch this all play out. LOL.
