STEVE STARK SENDS TWO REPORTS THAT WERE STUCK IN THE
EMAIL
Entry Date: March 23, 2014
Stephan Stark sent me two emails after the first of the year that
got involved in the near loss of the entire Web site when a corrupted
file kept me from opening the operating system on the Dell Latittude
D830 laptop computer that presently produces the site's pages. I
could enter my password to open Windows 7, and the system could tell
if it was a good password or not, but could not open any of Desktop
or the applications. I needed professional help to get out of that
mess, but email problems remained after all the applications were
reloaded and the Tavern's files recovered. I only got 150 (+) email
messages downloaded that had been waiting for delivery since early
February on March 22, 2014, or yesterday. Steve Start's two emails
were involved in that jam, but here they are along with some links
for follow up.
First, everyone has probably heard of Monuments Men, the
most recent George Clooney film with stars like Matt Damon, Bill
Murray, and John Goodman playing art experts serving in World War II
who are trying to track down all the art that was stolen by the
Nazis. Here is what was Steve's first report:
Jeremy Davidson is the narrator of the audio version of
“The Monuments Men”
Hope things are well for you this new year!
Steve Stark
Things are better now in the new year now that the email
backlog is resolved. I have family members' messages stuck in there,
too.
The next report was from the Web site of the magazine
Playbill from earlier in March. Mary Stuart Masterson and
husband Jeremy Davidson attended a performance of Sarah Ruhl's
Stage Kiss, directed by Rebecca Taichman and starring Dominic
Fumusa and Jessica Hecht. Playbill included this photo which
has an embedded link back to the Playbill article.
HAPPY 2014!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HANUKKAH TO ALL VISITORS!

MARY STUART MASTERSON BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN!
TO GUEST STAR ON CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED CBS LEGAL DRAMA
THE GOOD WIFE
Entry Date: November 20, 2013
As reported on the Cable Television Schedule page, Ms.
Masterson will be guest starring this coming Sunday, November 24th,
on an episode of The Good Wife, an episode in which series
star Julianna Margulies (ER) has to defend a client accused of
domestic terrorism. Ms. Margulies portrays Attorney Alicia Florrick,
who pursued a career as a lawyer after discovering that her
politician husband could not be trusted by her anymore than any
politician should be trusted by the general public. It is good to see
MSM back doing what she does best, so be sure to tune in! We went
through a drought o Ms. Masterson on cable television recently, and
her last new project was an episode of NBC's Touch in 2012.

SALUTE YOUR SHORTS II
MARY STUART MASTERSON RETURNS TO NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO TO
READ SHORT STORIES
Entry Date: June 12, 2013
Below is the Guestbook posting by Steve Stark with the
news that Mary Stuart Masterson has once again performed a public
reading on National Public Radio's Selected Shorts. The
details are found in Steve's Post. MSM's previous reading was
posted to the FYI about two years ago and is still in the FYI
Archives. You can access the show by clicking on the LISTEN TO THE
SHOW link below. Thanks for the post, Steve! Let us know how things
are going with the Voy Forums project.

The above website dated May 28, 2013 contains:
“Jesus Is Waiting” has only oblique religious
implications, in this characteristically serio-comic tale of failed
love and self-discovery by Amy Hempel. It’s the title of a recording
by the Reverend Al Green, given to the narrator by “the man who won’t
speak to me.” She’s taken to the road to get away from herself, but,
as she observes ruefully: “The geographic cure, these bouts of
driving, with the age-old bit built in: ‘Wherever you go, there you
are.’”
The reader of “Jesus Is Waiting” is Mary Stuart Masterson.

As always your servant. Best reqards.

JUNE IS MSM'S BIRTHDAY MONTH!
Entry Date: June 1, 2013
In the olden days here at the Tavern, we always put up a
birthday link to a lame "birthday card" page when June would come
around. For the past few years, a link to something interesting
and/or entertaining was left here with "Happy Birthday" greetings to
Ms. Masterson. One link was to the blog of actress and poet Amber
Tamblyn. Another year was a link to the snarky comments of expectant
mothers. Another year was a link to a broadcast of A Prairie Home
Companion with some great music. This year, the link is again to
a broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion, the first broadcast
of the 2012-2013 season for the National Public Radio classic. This
broadcast includes a fine duet of Holly Jones and Garrison Keillor
singing Bob Dylan's Duquesne Whistle and a second duet of
Too Far Gone. Pat Donohue sings the complete recipe for
Meat Loaf, Guy Noir solves yet another case, and the Life of
the Cowboys continues in the modern era. Garrison Keillor also
reports from Lake Woebegone. Maybe MSM might be on the stage for A
Prairie Home Companion someday.

THE OLD GUESTBOOK COMES BACK TO LIFE. MSM FAN STEVE STARK
FINDS THAT MSM GAVE BIRTH TO NUMBER 4 IN OCTOBER 2012.
Entry Date: April 11, 2013
The last I heard was MSM's fourth baby was due sometime early this
year, but that was based on the estimate in the Entertainment
Weekly article in which MSM and Eric Stolz shared their Some
Kind of Wonderful memories. It would all depend on when that
article was developed, the photographs shot, etc. Ms. Masterson is
sort of cagey in protecting her privacy in such things, which doesn't
affect things here much. We sort of wait until the news comes out the
way she wants it to come out, and then we put it here. Steve Stark
posted this on the Guestbook page, which is now a continuation of the
old Dreambook Guestbook from the founding of this place, or as MSM
probably calls it, "WhatDidTheyDoThisTime?"

Comments: I love your website! I check almost everyday to
see if Mary has surfaced (or delivered) again. I recently found this
http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs51/f/2009/299/9/3/Batman_the_Series_GCPD_by_Ciro1984.jpg
Batman new adventures on the AMC channel, I checked there
but did not find her listed on the show, though her likeness and my
web search located her. I'm not sure the show is even going to be
made from what I have read.
On another note... The IMDB lists she had her 4 child in
10/2012. She didn't appear that far along in the 9/2012 EW photos
with Eric Stoltz. When was the "Touch" episode filmed? In the spring?
There is a site called voyforums for Mary Stuart. It has
not been kept up and has a lot of ads in it. I've made 2 entries
since December. I'm thinking of requesting to take it over.
Please keep up with your information on Mary Stuart. I
appreciate your diligence! Please email me if you can't locate the
above picture!
MSM is SKoW!

Entry Date: March 16, 2013
The latest entry on the Underappreciated Movie page is
Pieces of April, a 2003 independent film starring Katie
Holmes, Oliver Platt, Patricia Clarkson, and Allison Pill. This is a
fine film that focuses in on the strained relationships among family
members as Thanksgiving approaches. You won't mind the ending, so
please find out how Katie's April works out her first Thanksgiving as
the hostess of her dysfunctional family and her apartment building's
extended family.
HOW RETIREMENT WILL AFFECT THE TAVERN
Entry Date: March 3, 2013
Well, I had the opportunity to retire this year, so I took
advantage. As of now, I should do as well, overall, as I did driving
all over the place and typing into a computer like a man insane until
I got this severe tendinitis in my left shoulder. I might be able to
get that cleared up now that I am getting to know the place where I
am supposed to be living. Retirement is weird. I have already cleaned
out three cupboards and two chests of drawers with a bag full of
stuff for Goodwill and everything else arranged so all are easy to
find. With my travel schedule, I had to put that off for years. As I
would comb through a cabinet, I would blurt out, "What is that?" then
stop and examine it to see what it was, or also blurt, "So, THAT is
where that (whatever) was!" I have many projects planned, but a lot
of them depend on my typing on this refurbished Dell Latitutde D830 I
ordered as it runs on Windows 7, 32-bit. With 32-bit, I can run my
Homepage generator program on it and I am typing this on that laptop
now. There was a struggle figuring out how to make the program save.
I have to right-click the icon and then click "Run As Administrator"
or the program will not save. Everytime I save, I have to leave the
program and log back on as Administrator. The Registry scanner I have
accuses the Homepage program's Registry key as being "obsolete."
After 18 years, it probably is. As far as this site is concerned, I
have many plans for it as soon as I get the shoulder problem resolved
as the pain spreads up to the neck and causes migraine-like
headaches. When that is resolved, I will be able to type more on a
keyboard, which is what is required to work on this Web site. Right
now, I have to stop for rest and stretching frequently.
The weird thing is that I quit smoking in April of 2012
and that caused the shoulder injury. After I quit, I took fewer work
and driving breaks. I would type for longer periods, and drive for
longer distances without stopping. With fewer breaks to smoke, I was
locked in driving and typing positions for longer periods and got
some kind of ergonomic injury which has dogged me for about six
months. Rest and stretching seems to help. The muscle spasms are
gone, for the most part, which should help the medical experts better
determine what is causing the problem. Once the injury is healed I
will be able to type more, as long as I take the time to rest and
stretch. I have had two requests to come visit former "clients" as a
consultant, so I should be going into small business for myself as
well as doing a bunch of other things that I will document in the
Backoffice Section.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
