Better A SHOOT Than A SHOOTING ... Page 5

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Anyone who knows Burbank 
knows that 
Burbank is 
the Heart of Hollywood
and
Hollywood is
 the Armpit of Hollywood
 
As a 20-year resident
of Burbank,
SHOOTS
on the street
were commonplace
and a fact of life
 
I was delighted to learn
from this crew
that two of my favorite haunts
and
were alive and well
 
What I learned about
this SHOOT
is that it was for
a commercial product
[to be determined]

A crew of
at least 50 people
were present
for this SHOOT

If it were 
a SHOOTING
virtually all
of these people
would have been

Possibly The Last Page About ... SCOTTIE

________________________________________________________________________________________________



A tragic truth
about F. Scott Fitzgerald
is that he basically
spent two dollars
for every dollar he earned
 
Scottie Fitzgerald
ended up with
more money than
she could ever spend

Scottie's oldest daughter
—ELEANOR LANAHAN—
did what had to be done:
a family member
writing a biography of
Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald's
one and only
"child"
 
I finally completed
the reading of
this 600 page book
 
My knee-jerk reaction
to finishing a book
is to seek out
a review
from a reliable source
BUT
was very negative about
Scottie
as was 
 
 
Tragically negative reviews
despite some
revelatory and fascinating
writing
merely extends the myth
that Scott and Zelda
were the most tragic couple
of 20th Century
American culture 
and
its most beautiful couple

It Is An Honor That The Author Of ... THE DAUGHTER OF

The author of
that book -->
has the same name as
the CarPeo cat
trained to stand
on her tail:
ELEANOR

Looking Great At 108 ... The Second Page

________________________________________________________________________________________________

SAM OLIVERIO
 
The greatest thing
about Our Father's birthday
is that his two surviving
"children" 
shared one dozen texts 
this morning
 
Mostly we talked about
the 3.5 most boring hours
in television history
[the 2024 Oscars]
and my second favorite SAM
who inspired me 
for 20 years
at Jefferson High School
 
His name is
 
but there is no hyperlink
for these two Oliverio
"children"

Looking Great At 108 ... The First Page

He is
looking great
at 108
 
The floating Oliverio
eastern seaboarding
thanked me for not
hoarding
 
This
gorgeous man 
 with eternal tan  
 
That is,
my sister Judi

Shouts out with me

Creatively Brilliant Westchester County Real Estate Agent

________________________________________________________________________________________________

In Katonah, New York,
I photographed a man
wearing a shirt and shorts
with an image 
of a property 
for sale
;;;
It created a bidding war
resulting in the property
selling for $200,000 more
than the listed price
