Of possible interest

Hello B. I hope you are well. I was glad to see your name pop up on my watchlist. I recently stumbled on this treat from RB Sheridan. I saw it a couple times back in the mid 80's but haven't had a chance to rewatch it yet to see if my rosy memories of it still apply. It is 110 minutes long so you will need to set aside some time to enjoy it if you are interested. Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 19:42, 12 June 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm still around. Writing reviews is taking up most of my time at the moment, but I still come on here every day to check in. Thanks very much for the link. I actually saw this myself many moons ago, and have fond memories as well. Looking forward to looking at it again. Bertaut (talk) 02:00, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
I am glad you are still writing reviews B. Cheers and have a nice weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 15:47, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Cheers

Damon Runyon's short story "Dancing Dan's Christmas" is a fun read if you have the time. Right from the start it extols the virtues of the hot Tom and Jerry

This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true.

No matter what concoction is your favorite to imbibe during this festive season I would like to toast you with it and to thank you for all your work here at the 'pedia this past year. Best wishes for your 2020 as well B. MarnetteD|Talk 17:29, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you very much kind sir. And the same to yourself. I read that story many years ago, but I can't remember too many of the details, so it'll keep me amused for a while, no doubt. Bertaut (talk) 01:47, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
