I was in an accident in Italy 15 years ago and fractured multiple ribs. I flew home from Milan without any medication. The Italian airline was wonderful, helped lift my luggage and made changing planes at JFK easy. Very great full to Alitalia and friends in Philadelphia.

I've gone yachting in New Zealand and Southern California: who is paying attention to uh.... steering?

The CD "Ella in Berlin" is the concert where Ms. Fitzgerald forgot the words to the song Mac the Knife

Ella Fitzgerald said fairly late in life that her only hit songs were when she forget the words [to Mack the Knife] and made the words up

Title: "Just One of Those Things" Noting that Ms. Fitzgerald's improvisations always stayed harmonically sound, the music writer Will Friedman recites a lengthy list of songs during a five minute scat version of "How High the Moon." Comment: Yes, Ella Fitzgerald was a gift from God, who always seemed surprised people loved her singing - even at Carnegie Hall.

I finally gave in and made an appointment to have a haircut on Monday, also to get my beard trimmed. I am 76, and never had a beard before, The salon opened today.not surprised it is open seven days a week for a while. Yikes.

Yes, please be careful. We need you as do other people!

I have the same question. What's a number one?

My friend, journalist Christopher Allen, wrote about the war until three years ago but mostly in Eastern Ukraine where the sentiment may have centered on the daily crushing events of living and dying. I am disputing the anti gay feeling in Ukraine, just that Chris never wrote or talked about it. I thought of flying there often - wish I had very much.

Toni Nadal is a bit kinder to Novak Djokovic: "it was a mistake anyone could have made. For a good cause. Comment: it is difficult to understand Novak's parents' response: We are used to it Perhaps blame Gregor Dimitrov

Huh? Sarajevo and Mostar, Bosnia were nearly destroyed during the war with Serbia and Croatia. During the Clinton Administration.

I was posting about his Tennis career and how Novak Djokovic could recover from a major blunder. It doesn't surprise me that his parents are now blaming Gregor Dimitrov and not the lack of safety concerns in Serbia and Croatia. I have attended the United States Open, The French Open and the Australia Open.

My comments about the different between Belgrade and Zadar was something I know about. I never pretended to be an expert on COVID19. Never.

I was approached to become an escort in a large expat community in Southern Spain by the owner of the small apartment where I was living in 1973. Not interested because his motivation was partly my staying there much longer than I wanted. I had more than enough of the twice weekly bull fights. And I didn't need the money.

Arlene Francis devorced her first husband, a Hollywood film executive, after a painful personal debate. He was a wonderful man, but she didn't love him. To some extent, Ms. Francis married him to please her somewhat overbearing parents. Before What's My Line, she realized she was good at quick and witty comments, to her great surprise.

Gregor Dimitrov flew from Los Angeles to Serbia and then to Bulgaria and then Monaco before arriving in Croatia. Gorin Ivanovich But even Serbian Ivanovich admitted the limbo dance, in which he participated, might have been over the top. Comment: Gregor was free to fly wherever he wanted. He didn't break any rules. That was the problem: no rules.

Zadar seems like a much more appropriate place for a tennis exhibition tournament during COVID-19. It has a relatively limited number of places to dance and drink. And it is certainly not Hvar or Dubrovnik. I can't comment on Belgrade. Novak should play at the US Open and soon after in Paris. Otherwise, it may be difficult to put this tournament behind.

Novak Djokovic has faced hostile crowds for years because he isn't Rodger Federer or Rafa Nadal. But, this tournament is different matter. Ugh.

Well, exhibition tennis in Serbia and Croatia for charity is not a terrible idea, but Novak putting a family member in charge was a mistake. Pray that nobody is really sick, especially Gregor.

I am not surprised that you give back with your time and especially, your enthusiasm.

The #1 male tennis player and his wife both were tested in Belgrade and were found to have the virus. From The Guardian and also Eurosport. Several articles identified Djokovic as being anti-vaccine in relation to COVID19. I believe he said not sure about vaccines. Not a good position when you are hosting tournaments in Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro and possibly Bosnia.

People in the military usually celebrate Memorial Day. My dad was part of the second world war, and there are always small flags near his grave by middle to late May. Volunteers must place the flags. Much appreciated.

I believe Bergen and Carlisle were panelists on To Tell The Truth, although they may have also appeared on What's My Line occasionally too. I liked Polly a lot, but yes she could be silly and annoying.

"What's My Line" was broadcast at 10:30 pm eastern time on Sunday nights. So the last show before Monday and work Even though I wasn't crazy about Dorothy Kilgallen, the show never fully recovered from his passing away in the Fall of 1965. I think WML needed someone very smart and not always completely likable Arlene and Bennett were friend off camera. Dorothy but not as much. She was more conservative.
