We actually read a book last night--start to finish. Double Indemnity, the 1936 roman noir by James M. Cain that the movie was based on. Fascinating to see how differently the book turns out. The movie is one of our all-time favorites, having seen it at least a dozen times. In the book the Stanwyck character is much more evil. And the ending is a complete departure from the movie. Hollywood couldn't let them get away with the murder.
Found some other goodies at the house along with the Sheriff's notice. MAD magazine from 1973 with a parody of the TV show Cannon. They called it Cannonball. We were a big fan of William Conrad growing up. Also turns out he was on the Dean Martin Show quite a lot.
We've relocated our cat, 'Ole Lady, to our sister's motel room. It's been a couple days and she is adjusting to the confined space and the other cat. Not an ideal solution but we had to get her away from the house, which will be gone in matter of a week or two at latest. End of a process. Should have had sister living there last few months and saved on motel rent. Oh, well.....add that the the long list of mistakes. The end game is approaching for us. Mother got approved for Medicaid at the nursing home but they want to bill her retroactively for her portion of the expenses. It's fairly trivial amounts, but that bread is long gone.
