"I came in with Halley's Comet in 1835- It is coming again next year (1910)"K

King Arthur might not exactly be the Almighty. Halley's Comet may have actually put him in office. It happenned to, according to Edmond Halley, who wrote Synopsis of the Astronomy of Comets in 1705, appeared at the call of either Harold II of England and William the Conquerer who had the battle to decide divine right at Hastings, and most probably a battle to death. It also put's Stonehenge under the historical retrospective of whichever rode upon a rainbow into heaven to rain light through the sky.

I probably have a silent film for you, Mr.Twain.

As for William Dean Howells, we could bother with some of these:

Donna took me to another movie, invited me to Thanksgiving Mass and a full turkey

The calendar that Donna was given at Thanksgiving Mass includes the paintings of Simon Vouet,Sandro Botticelli,Ghirlandali,Crivelli,Cagnacci, Guercino and Zubaran. A Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, whom I have always liked as a painter of the human form seems the exception in the time frame during which they were painted. The are painterly and painstakingly accurate in being true to life, irregardless of their theme. i didn't realize how near Ingres was to the Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist time periods.
Donna and I had had lunch together, which she was happier with than I thought she would be-and then surprisingly she brought home a full, cooked turkey, my guess being one more than ten pounds. For whatever reason she was happy with lunch before the windfall of the turkey, which in turn made it a long weekend of Thanksgiving dinner.
She was looking forward to the movie and the weather was nice enough so that we could walk.

What would Donna be writing? Hallmark Movel Channel ,Lifetime Movie Network

What would Donna be writing?

Nightly? Either Hallmark Movie Channel or Lifetime Movie Network.

I can't get a classic movie in, so as a writer, I went back to listening to Old Time Radio, which recently has included The CBS Mystery Theater, Murder at Midnight, The Shadow, Weird Circle, Murder by Experts and could include any radio drama broadcast between 1930 and 1949. I haven't yet listened to the Basil Rathbone-Tom Conway Nigel Bruce series yet, but shall. I acquired the taste for it when I found out that while you're typing, you can play an MPG file. I'm sure they listened to radio drama while typing back in 1938, this just consolidates the keyboard with the amplitude modulation.

Last night Donna took me to dinner again, which to me is a compliment as I appreciate actually getting the date and to her its a thank you that I implore her to accept; it came in the middle of three very beautiful late nights, where we we hopping into the shower at two in the morning after having made love. Three out of five nights.
Thinking of Cajun that I had had with her sometime last week, I ordered creole Shrimp with rice. Here's the secret: "a ton of shrimp". I thanked her the entire way back to her apartment. It was nice.

What would she be writing? Because it is part of a romantic affair, I linked the two channels she has interest in. She loves a movie after dinner, but stays with only two networks: Lifetime Movie Network and The Hallmark Channel.

Are her parents in New Jersey giving her a lot of unnecessary difficulty about my existence? Maybe. Do I need or ask for their approval? Probably not.

If I read in bed while she's watching a film it will first be finishing The Moon and Sixpence.

Postscript:

Was Shakespeare Dead?

For a culture so adept at pinpointing when Paul McCartney died, it very may well be that there were two William Shakespeares, BUT was Shakespeare held in retirement? Only to write sonnets after being presumed dead?
Let me rephrase my question: Was Shakespeare alive during the reign of the Scottish James I and could Shakespeare have written after being handed a fake death by the King? Was he Elizabethan, not Jacobian?

Was Shakespeare in fact Alive? Is the two Shakespeares a post-humous afterthought?

CBS Radio Mystery Theater Dracula

Although we went shopping together yesterday- she reminded me that I was intending to get new pants and she brought back a new sweater- today we spent a twilight and evening together that seemed uneventful. And yet, after dinner I found The Mystery Theater again. Please click on the above link to enjoy the broadcast.

I showed Donna the Swedenborg Chapel-Yard Closed-Coffee

I showed Donna the Swedenborg Chapel off of Kirkland Street. After we went to King's Chapel, on Tremont, months ago, I told her that any church that we pass we could go inside and she could pray. If I find a church of historical or architectural interest i try to bring her in; today The Wedding Chapel was closed to the public, but they do have study groups on Emmanuel Swedenborg. i explained it was Helen Keller's church.
Harvard Yard closed to the general public- consider the impact, particularly to open air poetry happenings. The ramifications of it not being open to the public. Matters or what? There is a statue given to them by Moore in there that is my favorite work of Modern Art-it could be more erotic for abstract and as a child I did a soap sculpture very much like it: space age.
The yard in the middle of the University is closed and identification is required to enter. So we went for coffee in the Square and they played Donovan (and D'yer Maker) the weather is true, pure New England Autumn. I cooked dinner for her, not her favorite rice, cheese soup and tuna, but something very much like it with noodles and peas.
We in fact has a beautiful walk together- the leaves are changing.

Another weekend with Donna- The Moonstone

We began another weekend together friday with a buffet. There are still flowers on the table that I brought her. In effect, we slept late for the last two days, but I did return to the gym to lift. I'm not lifting as much as when I left the gym in June, but in one week of three lifting seesions I pumped the bench press back up to 190. I had it at 200 when we began seeing each other every day.
Because I'm in the middle of reading The Moon and Sixpence, I thought it would be good also to resume my listening to "Old Time Radio", "OTR". This weekend I listened to an excellent dramatization of The Moonstone from Weird Circle, which was on air between 1947 and 1949. Another was an episode of The Strange Dr. Weird. It is well worth my keeping copies both and, if you haven't really been introduced to the on air radio plays that were popular before the advent of televsion and need to arbitrarily pick a radio adventure or mystery to begin with, these are two that I plunged into in the middle of needing to "just pick any one" out of the thousands of radio mysteries of the 1930's and 1940's.

As a thank you letter to Donna, I very much appreciate having an afternoon where i can listen to these, (particularly with quiet company that may be watching a film.)
