The Bucks are recording this episode AS THE ECLIPSE IS HAPPENING but we don't see anything. Wishing clear skies for those in the totality zone.
Del is on a quest to get his blood drawn for testing. He didn't lie down on the floor this time but made his presence known in so many ways. He lived to tell us his story.

Dave gives the Sarasota Film Festival two thumbs up. He watched the five live action shorts nominated for an Oscar. These include:
The After,
Red, White and Blue,
Knight of Fortune,
Invincible , and
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.
Henry won the Oscar but they were all excellent films.
He also saw the full-length feature Thelma, about a 93-year old woman who is scammed and decides to do something about it. Richard Roundtree's last role. This was June Squibb's first movie at age 94!
His main objective at SFF was to see The Mammoth Hunt, the Lithuanian documentary about theatre director Jonas Jurasas and how he was forced to leave the country in 1972 after running afoul of the Soviet censors. Here's the letter that made it to the West.
The film director is Aistė Stonytė’
The Kaunas National Drama Theater director is Egidijus Stancikas.
The singer is Mindaugas Jankauskas, a soloist of The National Opera Theater in Vilnius.
Del tidies up his nightstand...or not.
Listen to the Lithuanian operatic tenor at the end of this episode.
