That's still several days away. At least it's curving west to east, so it may stay away. George

I didn't meet John, personally. I do remember rather vividly, though, a teaching of his on grace. He was a pitcher, presumably for his college baseball team. "There I was -- up by a run in the bottom of the ninth. By SOME STRANGE TWIST OF FATE, the bases were loaded with nobody out. I struck out the next two batters with six BLAZING fastballs. At that point, the first baseman told me that with two out, he wouldn't be holding the runner on. Of course, I knew that. After two pitches to the batter, I could see the runner at first with a big lead, so I completely forgot what the first baseman had told me. I wheeled to throw to first, and life went into slow motion. I couldn't throw to first, because the first baseman wasn't there. I couldn't hold on to the ball, because that would be a balk and bring the tying run in. So, I threw it to the RUNNER. Reflexively, he caught it, then dropped it like a hot potato and started running. The umpire called him out for interference. Game over. Grace: being completely in the wrong but coming out smelling like a rose." Rest in peace, John. George

WW is still up. George

This movie was a remake of one from about 40 years earlier. One actor appeared in both versions. He played the same character. The earlier movie was his acting debut; this one was his last movie. One character is afraid of being bankrupted, forced to wander the streets in a bathrobe. This actually does happen to the same actor in another movie. This movie spawned a sequel. (The original did not.) One of the actors and one of the actresses portray an engaged couple through most of the movie. Relative unknowns, this was her first film. The two did appear together in a number of Hallmark commercials. George

Martin Short? George

All right. "Silhouettes" FREE POST George

A couple of these seem familiar, but I'm not getting it. George

Yes, Sam (not Rudy). A big one, but I don't think it will head to the US: George

Soap? George

So, what would be cast upon the window shade by interior light on a couple? It would be specifically formed shadows or...? George

This was "Perfect." John Travolta is a reporter trying to get the inside dirt on Jamie Lee Curtis's gym. The "used piece" was Larraine Newman. Also featuring Marilu Henner. FREE POST George

Silly me. I thought you were quoting something from Pret a Porter (which I haven't seen). WW's up. George

That's correct. A big hit when they released it. (Also, it's a cover of a song by The Rays). "Took a walk and passed your house, late last night. All the shades were pulled and drawn way down tight..." George

And here's a continually updated Atlantic map for this page of the thread. The X's in the Atlantic look like the general start to a Florida/Gulf trajectory. The good news for Texas is that now we're starting to see cold fronts which actually push through. Those block storms and send them off to the east. George
