Hello George, I visited Marie many times just after Manly died. She was wonderful and felt like a dear friend from the past. That was when the small group of people were working with her to rewrite her books of Wisdom to put it out into the world so that it could be better understood. I had not seen her since the early l990's and wondered what happened with the plans to do this. This was also the time when she told me that she felt Manly was dealt with in a bad way and therefore died and when she said the attempt was made to take the Veritat foundation away from her. I would like to know what happened with these things. I appreciate this site and would love to hear of these happenings. Thank you, Iris

See? TV! I totally forgot about TV. But that's because we were only allowed to turn it on for the Wonderful World of Disney. Oh, and Grandma let me sneak in to watch The Loretta Young Show with her, but I was not to let the others know. Crushed that I missed Playboy After Dark. I feel certain it would have changed everything for me. But by the time it came on, albeit short-lived, it was too late. Sigh.

My childhood window on the world came from the short-lived (pronounce that with the correct long i, please) TV series "Playboy After Dark." I couldn't wait for the day when I'd sip martinis in a stylish penthouse with other tuxedoed bachelors.

Obviously all the miniskirted chicks had to hit the road before all us guys hit the sack.

Art and beauty matter to everyone, but they matter so much more (which is what makes for difficulties) to those of us who are aware of them.

Sounds like you boys had quite a time…
(Well, we all know it's never really memorable unless the police are involved at least once.)

Thrills, chills, it's an anniversary! Happy one! As I noted one year ago, this is a quick way of tuning into you despite the miles that separate us. Instant George, shall we say? Your persistence and perspicacity have birthed quite an accomplishment. Many more!

On your way in to visit Pinkie and Blue Boy, I hope you'll pause for a moment in front of Sir Oswald Birley's terrifying portrait of Mrs. Huntington.

Here in New York they have a marathon celebrity reading, 24 hours long, on Bloomsday. I'm tempted to go, but it's a crapshoot. I mean, get the timing wrong and you'll witness Fran Drescher reading Molly's soliloquy.

Happy anniversary to the best blog on the internet.

Not silence, but cloistered -- there's only one who can talk and BE SEEN by the outside world. The rest of them are all hidden behind the screen behind the altar, so no one can look at them except each other and God.

And NOW I know why that bread is so moist and good and why I feel so shiny...
