Bob is on the road again, determined to post. 

Above, possibly my favorite movie. Here's what you get when you pay a little extra for a good screenwriter (Shelagh Delaney). Just find it and watch it. Ruth Ellis was the last woman to be executed in the UK. Watch the movie and Leave A Comment.

A nice Mail Artist, Miss James, e-mailed that she liked my stamps. I sent her back this song:

Miss Otis Regrets
by Cole Porter (1934)

Here's Edith Piaf singing it in French. (Scroll down to song title.) I love Piaf but never realized she had a sense of humor before.

Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.
She is sorry to be delayed,
but last evening down in Lover's Lane she strayed, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.

When she woke up and found that her dream of love was gone, madam,
She ran to the man who had led her so far astray,
And from under her velvet gown,
She drew a gun and shot her lover down, madam,
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.

When the mob came and got her and dragged her from the jail, madam,
They strung her up on the old willow across the way,
And the moment before she died,
She lifted up her lovely head and cried, madam ...
Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today.

Miss Otis regrets, she's unable to lunch today
