Silver screen partners

I felt like a character in a comedy I did in the late eighties today, Diary. Driving here, driving there. Often handcuffed, only emotionally. Oddly I was just thinking of my Silver Screen Partners days when Dick Donner called. I also got calls from Scotty G., Terry and Johnny Reilly. It's fun when you don't know who to call first. Anyway, Dick said their holiday party was right around the corner and apparently the invitation for me had come back to his office with insufficient postage. About a dozen jokes about Superman 2 went through my head but I held my tongue. The tree guy left a message on my service too. He's been trying to save the Japanese Maple between the drivearound and the Oak. Apparently their roots are conflicting. He asked if I had ever seen Sophie's Choice. Gulp.
