Thirty years ago today
On Monday I probably worked somewhere. I was also on the fourth day of my annual fruit fast and feeling a little weak.

I weighed 87.75 kilos before breakfast.
I played my Martin acoustic during song practice for the first of two sessions and it actually stayed in tune half the time. All my guitars seem to like this weather.
Around midday I took my laundry to the laundromat and brought it home at around 15:30.
I weighed 87.6 kilos at 15:45.
I took a siesta at 16:30 and slept until 18:18.
I weighed 89 kilos at 18:25.
I was caught up in my journal at 19:36.
Once again I struggled with trying to record from cassette tape to Audacity because I couldn’t get a waveform. I tried a couple of restarts and spent a lot of time clicking around in Settings until just before dinner I saw that I had both Stereo Mix and my Scarlett audio interface enabled as input devices. I disabled the Stereo Mix and finally got a waveform when recording but by then it was suppertime and too late to record. Tomorrow I’ll try again and hopefully the settings won’t change again by themselves.
I ate some grapes, an orange and a fig while watching episode 13 of Captain Nice. Episode 8 and 12 are missing from my download but I found them on archive.org, so I’ll watch episode 8 tomorrow and 12 on Thursday. The entire series only has 15 episodes.
Carter Nash sees a man on the ledge who looks like he is going to jump so he ducks into an alley to change to Captain Nice. But before he can drink his super power serum he sees that the man is just retrieving a cat. He stoops down to put the serum back in his briefcase but he is in front of the back door of a business and a beautiful woman carrying packages steps out and trips over him. To make up for the mishap he offers to help her with her packages. Another attractive woman comes out and he helps her as well. She thinks he’s working with her and she tells him to come inside. He sees there are four pretty women carrying packages out to a van and continues to assist them until he sees a man tied up and realizes the four women are thieves. The girls force him into the fur storage safe and lock the door. He takes his serum but when the woman tripped over him some of it spilled and it doesn’t give him enough power to break out.
The next morning when Chief Segal and Sergeant Candy Cane investigate the robbery they find Carter shivering in the safe. The store owner recognizes Carter as someone who was helping the fur filchers. He is under suspicion and will be charged if the real thieves are not found.
Segal orders every beautiful woman in town with a police record to be brought in for the police line-up. The viewing audience of men is standing room only and the line-ups are booked up until Friday.
Carter’s only clue is that he found on the floor of the fur store bits of a type of floor wax that is used at dance studios. Candy does some research on her own and finds there is one dance studio with four beautiful employees who match Carter’s description of the thieves.
Candy goes undercover and gets a job at the dance studio but she doesn’t realize that one of the women recognizes her. They plan to use Candy as bait to catch Carter, who was the only witness to their fur robbery. They call Carter to tell him Candy needs his help. He finds Candy in studio 16 but it turns out to be rigged. A pump is being used to remove the air from the room and Carter and Candy are becoming weak. Carter feels he has no choice but to reveal his secret identity to Candy but by the time he does she is unconscious. After changing to Captain Nice he makes a run for the door but a customer opens it and he smashes through several walls until he is out in the alley. The gang of lovely ladies is rounded up and arrested.
This episode was directed by Charles R. Rondeau, who made his directorial debut with The Littlest Hobo in 1958. He directed 3 of the 15 episodes of Captain Nice. He directed 4 episodes of Get Smart, 44 episodes of Love American Style, 15 episodes of Room 222, 6 episodes of Tabitha, 4 episodes of Batman, 20 episodes of F Troop, 14 episodes of Surfside 6, 12 episodes of Hawaiian Eye, and 6 episodes of The Partridge Family. He directed the movies The Threat, The Girl in Lovers Lane and The Devil’s Partner.
March 11, 1996: My landlady complained about my daughter's behaviour
Thirty years ago today
On Sunday my daughter and I went to the little playground in the parkette off Dundas. We played a bit in the backyard of my place. My landlady Helga complained about True’s behaviour but I didn’t see anything wrong. She behaved like the four year old she was.

Sheldon Allman
I weighed 88.45 kilos before breakfast.
I played my Kramer electric during song practice for the last of two sessions and it stayed in tune the whole time.
I deleted several photos from my hard drive.
I weighed 89.15 kilos before lunch.
In the afternoon I took a bike ride downtown and stopped to pee at the McDonald’s at Yonge and College. On the way home I stopped at Freshco where all the grapes were too soft. I bought a pack of figs, several avocadoes, and a jug of orange juice.
I weighed 88.8 kilos at 18:45.
I was caught up in my journal at 19:36.
I tried to record from cassette tape to Audacity and had problems again. Over the last few weeks I’ve made many successful recordings but lately it’s become glitchy. I couldn’t get a waveform at all this time even after restarting several times. Finally after clicking that the recording device is Audacity I got a waveform. There’s a Leonard Cohen clip at the beginning of the tape but weirdly there was no wave form for it and the waveform only showed with the beginning of the recording of my band. It begins with a Christian and the Lions concert performance of “Megaphor” and then there is a rehearsal of “Me and Gravity” and “Instructions for Electroshock Therapy” with Steve Lowe on guitar and Arjan on bass. I recorded through audio interface to Audacity as usual and then exported it to my hard drive but it sounded distorted. I tried exporting it in MP3 format but that sounded worse. I’ll try again tomorrow. Maybe the fact that it didn’t show a waveform for the Leonard Cohen clip should have warned me there was a problem.
I ate some grapes while watching episode 11 of Captain Nice.
Chief Segal is in charge of guarding the city payroll with the help of Sergeant Candy Cane and several other police officers. The armoured car arrives and suddenly it is ambushed. There is a firefight between the crooks and the police. Candy Cane is never shown with a gun. She is given the task of writing down the events as they unfold.
Carter Nash is just on his way home when he hears the shots and runs to change into Captain Nice.
The police are forced to take cover and one of the gangsters drives the armoured car away. Seconds later an identical armoured car containing counterfeit money is driven up to replace it. When the shooting stops the cops emerge from cover as Captain Nice arrives on the scene. Segal claims they fought the robbers off and the payroll is safe. Candy reports that 97 rounds of ammunition were fired with no hits. The chief admits that he shuts his eyes when he shoots.
The next day Carter is given $5 by Mayor Finney for lab supplies. But he smells the bill and detects that one of the chemicals is wrong. He tells Arthur the new sketch artist that he’s going to run some tests on it. But it turns out that Arthur is part of the counterfeiting and payroll robbing gang. He runs to their hideout to warn them about Carter, but Gordon the boss says there isn’t going to be a test because there isn’t going to be a Carter. They go to Carter’s house and force their way in. Gordon tells Carter he wants the $5 but Carter says it’s in the safe at the lab. He tells Anthony to accompany Carter to the lab and warns Carter that everyone will be shot if he isn’t back in an hour.
When Carter gets there he realizes that he can’t open the safe until 8:00 because it has a time lock. He says he can jar the lock with some nitro. Anthony accidentally knocks the nitro off the safe and the explosion knocks them both out.
With only seconds left before Gordon shoots them, Carter’s mother Esther and Candy break free and start using martial arts on the gang. They are doing fine until Gordon regains his gun and stops them.
Carter regains consciousness first and takes his super power serum. Within seconds Captain Nice is at the Nash house but Gordon is pointing his gun at Esther and Candy and warns him to leave. Suddenly his gun is shot out of his hand by Mr. Nash, who apparently picked up a gun from one of the fallen gangsters. We have never seen his face as it’s always behind a newspaper and he shot the gun through the paper. For some reason he wasn’t tied up like Esther and Candy.
A week later the chief has a foolproof plan to protect the payroll from thieves. He puts all his cops in the back of the armoured car. Robbers ambush the guards, padlock the back door of the armoured car and drive away with it. There is no money in the back and all they got away with is a $20,000 armoured car and the entire Big Town police force.
Gordon was played by Sheldon Allman, who was born in Chicago but moved to Canada as a baby. He joined the Royal Canadian Air Force during WWII and was wounded. He was convalescing in a British hospital and playing piano and singing original songs when he was heard by Ted Thorpe who was putting together a show for army bases in England. Sheldon with the Maple Leaf Show began singing with the Royal National Guard. After the war he played nightclubs in Canada until he moved back to the states in 1949 to attend the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music. While studying he wrote songs, played clubs, produced TV shows, and worked as a DJ. He was the singing voice for Mister Ed and the writer of the Mister Ed songs “Pretty Little Filly with the Pony Tail” and “The Empty Feedbag Blues”. He wrote “A Quiet Kind of Love”, Christmas in the Air”, “Patapan”, and the theme songs for “George of the Jungle”, “Super Chicken”, and “Tom Slick”. He co-wrote the screenplay for Monster Mash. His song “Crawl Out Through the Fallout” appears in the game Fallout 4 and in the TV adaptation of Fallout. He co-wrote the musicals I’m Sorry, the Bridge is Out, You’ll Have to Spend the Night (on which the movie Monster Mash is based) and Frankenstein Unbound. His film debut was in Inside the Mafia in 1959.
March 10, 1996: My daughter stayed with me for the weekend
Thirty years ago today
On Saturday I picked up my daughter and she stayed at my place for the weekend. We stayed inside the first day and I worked on building her toy crossbow.

On Sunday morning I woke up at 5:51 and realized that I’d missed the stupid time change again. I decided to pretend it was still 4:51 and went back to bed for a few more minutes. I chose to go through my normal routine until I arrived at an hour that I could sacrifice and then change the time.
After yoga I gathered more images for my photo-video of “Les millionaires” by Serge Gainsbourg. I have 189 so far.
I weighed 88.65 kilos before breakfast.
I played my Kramer electric during song practice for the first of two sessions and it stayed in tune the whole time.
I cleaned the warm mist humidifier that had been working all week and started the other one going. While it was soaking in vinegar I changed my alarm to stupid time.
I weighed 89.35 kilos at 14:20.
I took a siesta at 15:00 and so that put me only half an hour behind.
I had just enough time in the afternoon to take a bike ride to Ossington and back, so then I was caught up with the time change.
I weighed 88.8 kilos at 18:05, which is the lightest I’ve been in the evening since January 16.
I was caught up in my journal at 18:52.
I tried to do some more recording in Audacity but even without the sound turned on when I clicked “Record” there was just a solid blue block across the timeline instead of a waveform. I tried restarting a few times and got the same thing and once no waveform at all when the tape was playing. A few months ago I downloaded a new version of Audacity that I thought the program was just going to upgrade by itself. But it turns out I was supposed to install it, so I did. Version 3.7.7 worked after a couple of tries.
I recorded from cassette tape through audio interface to Audacity and then extracted to my hard drive the first part of the Christian and the Lions rehearsal that I’d started last night. Tom Smarda and Steve Lowe on guitars were learning my songs “Charm and Money” (to the tune of “Love and Marriage”) and “Fallen”. Mike Martin just kept playing his bongos the same speed no matter what we were doing fast or slow. Steve claimed he no longer wanted to have sex and just wanted to play his guitar. I called bullshit. Tom and Steve didn’t agree with the premise of “Charm and Money” that potential lovers are more attracted to charm and money than they are to kindness and intelligence.
The next rehearsal tape I’ll record tomorrow is more coherent as Steve had gotten a better grip on my songs.
I had a tomato, avocado, and cucumber salad with lime juice while watching episode 10 of Captain Nice.
A crime syndicate fronted by a mysterious Mr. X. captures a mob that has been muscling in on their territory and now they are going to be bumped off but they say they would settle for a good scolding. They are lined up against the wall inside the Bigtown Garage as the assassin named Gunnar prepares his machine gun. Gunnar wonders when he will meet Mr. X but he is told nobody but his girlfriend Amanda Woolf has ever seen him. The beautiful Amanda is there keeping the syndicate’s records in code in a little black book. Gunnar is about to fire when Carter pulls in for gas and goes looking for an attendant. He opens the door and sees the gangsters, then he heads back to his car to change into Captain Nice. Gunnar fires but misses. Captain Nice flies in front of the next barrage. Amanda pretends to faint to distract Nice while her colleagues get away.
The saved mobsters are brought in but won’t talk and Amanda won’t testify.
Carter and Sergeant Candy Cane are looking for clues in the garage when Candy finds Amanda’s black book. Carter says if he can crack the code he’ll find out the identity of Mr. X.
Mayor Finney and Chief Segal interrogate Mr. X’s suspected right hand man O’Brien. O’Brien says they can’t prove it. Finney says O’Brien deposited half a million in his account this year (which would be $5 million now) and yet he only runs a small cleaning business. O’Brien says he finds a lot of loose change in the clothing.
Carter arrives to announce he has the little black book and he thinks he can crack the code. Amanda sees he has her book and plots to get it back. She says she’s changed her mind and she will testify after all but needs to be in protective custody at Carter’s house. It’s unlikely that a police chemist would be assigned to watch after a material witness but they agree. Carter is warned he can’t even tell his mother the identity of Amanda.
Carter brings Amanda home and she has more suitcases than a luggage store.
O’Brien is released and puts out a hit on Amanda. He overheard at the mayor’s office that she would be staying at Carter’s place. His gang kidnaps Chief Segal and forces him to tell them where Carter lives.
Carter figures out that the code is based on the telephone dial with the letters and numbers representing each other.
O’Brien and the gang invade the Nash home and tie up Carter’s mother, father, and Amanda. Carter is unnoticed but he sees them from the study. He changes to Captain Nice before the captives can be killed. Gunnar shoots Nice but the bullets bounce off to kill the entire gang, including Gunnar.
The next day Carter reveals that Amanda is Mr. X. I saw that coming.
O’Brien was played by Noah Keen, who after graduating from university worked at NBC. He made his film debut in 1957 in A Face in the Crowd. He guest starred in the Twilight Zone episodes The Arrival and The Trade Ins.

Bill Zuckert
On Saturday morning I continued searching for images for my photo-video of “Les millionaires” by Serge Gainsbourg. I have 183 so far.
I weighed 89.2 kilos before breakfast.
I played my Gibson Les Paul Studio during song practice for the last of two sessions and it stayed in tune the whole time. Tomorrow I’ll begin a two session stretch of playing my Kramer.
Around midday I rode to No Frills where I bought five bags of grapes, three packs of strawberries, some bananas, avocadoes, two packs of cherry tomatoes, a pack of mini-cucumbers, two bottles of Garden Cocktail, a bottle of cranberry-raspberry juice, and a jug of orange juice. I did a price match on the grapes with the Walmart price of $6.55 a kilo but each bag was still about $5 each.
I weighed 90 kilos at 14:30. I had a tomato and avocado salad with lime juice and a glass of Garden Cocktail.
I took a siesta and got up at 17:00 but still felt tired so I went back to bed for another forty minutes.
I weighed 90.15 kilos at 17:55.
I was caught up in my journal at 19:01.
I recorded from cassette tape through audio interface to Audacity and then extracted to my hard drive an early Christian and the Lions rehearsal with Tom Smarda, Steve Lowe and Mike Martin. We worked on my songs “Fallen”, “Angeline”, and “Seven Shades of Blues”. Tom mentions in the session that we have a gig in about a month on May 11 and so this had to be April of 1994. Steve had yet to work out his great guitar accompaniment for “Angeline”. Mike just kept playing his bongos at a fast tempo while we were trying to slowly work out the songs and it was very distracting.
The digitized recording didn’t sound as clear as previous ones. I exported the same file in MP3 and it sounded a little better.
I ate some grapes while watching episode 9 of Captain Nice. I watched episode 7 last night but episode 8 seems to be unavailable either in torrent form or for streaming.
Carter Nash is doing some important lab work late at night at the police station for Chief Segal but the night club next door is making a lot of noise. He goes over and talks with Lola the owner about them turning the music down. But in reality the band is playing loud to cover the noise of the men digging to break Doc Simmons out of jail before he is transferred to prison. Lola invites Carter to have a drink but he says he doesn’t imbibe. She offers him a non-alcoholic fruit punch and he agrees to that but the bartender drugs it and Carter is immediately unconscious. Lola has him thrown in the alley and the hatcheck girl takes pictures that are sent to the newspaper.
The next night Carter is trying to finish his work but the noise from the club compels him to once again confront Lola. This time he refuses a drink but Lola pretends to be faint and asks him to help her to the bar. She asks the bartender for a glass of water, which he spikes again. She pretends to take a sip and then says it tastes funny. She asks Carter to try it and he is again drugged. This time however he is semi-conscious, staggers and knocks over some garbage cans that are full of the dirt from the digging of the tunnel. He realizes there is a jail break going on but he’s incoherent and collapses.
Meanwhile Milton the Mole breaks into Doc’s cell. Sergeant Candy Cane catches them but they kidnap her and take her with them into the tunnel.
Carter wakes up again and this time manages to take his super power serum. He turns to Captain Nice but he is still drugged. He staggers and smashes through the wall of Lola’s then stumbles around causing destruction with his super strength, not knowing what he’s doing. He ends up bringing down part of the ceiling, which blocks the exit door.
Doc, Milton, and Candy emerge in the back room of the club but Lola tells them there’s no exit and so they have to go back into the tunnel. The bartender throws a grenade at Nice and then runs for the tunnel. Captain Nice doesn’t even know it’s a grenade when he casually tosses it away and it goes down the hole to explode in the tunnel.
Now Doc has no place to go but back in his cell. He is now there with Milton, Lola, Candy, and all the guests and staff from the club as the club band happily plays in the crowded cell.
Police Chief Segal was played by Bill Zuckert, who started acting on radio in 1941 and his voice could be heard in hundreds of dramas over the next twenty years. He co-starred in the radio drama series Crime and Peter Chambers in 1954. He made his film debut in Ada in 1961. He played Sheriff Johnny Behan in the third season Star Trek episode “Spectre of the Gun”.
March 8, 1996: I posed for artists
Thirty years ago today
On Thursday I probably posed at some art school or for some art group and maybe more than one.

Joe Flynn
I weighed 88.75 kilos before breakfast.
I played my Gibson Les Paul Studio during song practice for the first of two sessions and it stayed in tune the whole time.
I would normally done some painting in the bathroom today but I had to take a shower since I skipped it yesterday.
I was behind on my journal so I worked on getting caught up.
I weighed 90.4 kilos before lunch. I had a salad of cherry tomatoes and avocadoes with lime juice for dressing and a glass of Garden Cocktail.
In the afternoon I took a bike ride downtown and back. I had to stop and pee at the McDonald’s on Yonge just north of College. The chess board is back and a bunch of old Asian guys were hanging around it while two of them played.
I weighed 89.5 kilos at 18:35.
I was caught up in my journal at 19:56.
I recorded from cassette tape through audio interface to Audacity and then extracted to my hard drive side 2 of my rehearsal with Tom Smarda. These were early versions of a lot of songs that eventually became part of the Christian and the Lions repertoire. There are two or three songs there that were never recorded anywhere else.
I had a tomato and avocado salad with lime juice and a glass of Garden Cocktail while watching episode 7 of Captain Nice.
Carter has brought Candy Cane on a date to the Natural History Museum. They are in a room full of artefacts from the daily life of the Juma people of Brazil. There’s an exhibit of a monetary system but it’s not real because they didn’t have one. All of the objects in the room were brought back by Dr. Edgars who was one of Carter’s professors in college. He spent five years in the Brazilian jungle.
The head of the museum, Dr. Dunbar, who never went to Brazil, steps up to the podium to give a speech and to accept the award for the exhibition, plus a grant for $10,000 (which would be $100,000 today). Candy asks Carter what Edgars got out of it and he answers, “malaria”.
A hand reaches through a ridiculously open window and grabs a Juma blow gun. A Juma poison dart hits the wall behind Dunbar. Edgars pushes him aside just before a dart hits Edgars’ pith helmet. Carter runs into a storage room to change into Captain Nice but he is clubbed over the head by what he’d thought was a wooden statue of a Juma warrior.
Dunbar indifferently thanks Edgars for saving his life and then tells him he’s going back to Brazil that night. Edgars doesn’t want to leave his wife and children again.
Carter comes to ask Dunbar for more samples of the dart poison. He says Edgars would have that and his office is in the basement behind the boiler room.
Meanwhile in the basement we see the large Juma that clubbed Carter and tried to kill Dunbar is Edgars’ servant Luna who he controls with a flashlight, which Luna thinks is the magic stick that holds the sun. It was Edgars’ plan to “save” Dunbar’s life to set him up for his actual murder.
Carter arrives to ask for the poison and Luna pretends to be a statue again. Edgars gives Carter the poison and asks him to leave. Now Edgars tells Luna that Carter has to be killed too.
That night Luna tracks Carter to his home and from the bushes outside shoots a dart that hits the wall behind him. Carter’s mother Esther comes home and sees with her flashlight Luna lurking outside. She brings him into the house. Luna refuses to say why he tried to kill Carter because he has sworn allegiance to his spirit man. Carter goes to change into Captain Nice and when Luna sees him fly he recognizes him as his new spirit man. He admits now that Edgars has been using him as an assassin.
Candy is on guard duty at the museum and Carter calls to warn her that her life may be in danger. Just then Edgars grabs her from behind and she is cut off. Edgars injects Candy with the deadly dart poison.
Captain Nice arrives with Luna who tells Edgars that Nice is his new Spirit Man. Edgars says Nice is fake so Luna shoots a dart at each of them. One bounces off Nice but Edgars is poisoned. Luna knows the antidote but can’t translate the ingredients required. They need a chemist and so Captain Nice leaves and shortly afterward Carter returns. With Luna’s guidance he mixes the antidote and saves both Candy and Edgars.
Carter’s mother takes Luna under her wing and in one week he is talking like an Anglo North American and is fully “civilized”. He’s going back to Brazil with a flashlight to do the same to his people.
Edgars was played by Joe Flynn, who majored in political science at USC. He started in entertainment as a ventriloquist and a radio DJ. He directed theatre productions for the Canfield Players in Ohio. He made his TV debut in 1948 in the sitcom Yer Ol Buddy on a local LA station. In 1950 he ran unsuccessfully for the Ohio senate as a Republican. He made his film debut in The Big Chase in 1954. He appeared in 4 episodes of the George Gobel Show, then 8 episodes of the Joey Bishop Show. He starred in several episodes of The Silent Service. He played Mr. Kelley in 15 episodes of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. He co-starred in the TV series McHale’s Navy and two movie adaptations of that show: McHale’s Navy and McHale’s Navy Joins the Air Force. He co-starred on the Tim Conway Show. He co-starred in the films The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, Now You See Him Now You Don’t, The Strongest Man in the World, Did You Hear the One About the Traveling Saleslady?, The Barefoot Executive, The Million Dollar Duck, and Superdad. He appeared in more Disney films than any other actor. He appeared 12 times on the Johnny Carson Show. He drowned in his pool while having a heart attack with a cast on his leg.

After yoga I finally memorized the eighteenth verse of “Ballade de la chnoufe” (Ballad of the Snuff) by Boris Vian. There are fifteen new lines left to learn.
I continued to gather images for my photo-video of “Les millionaires” by Serge Gainsbourg. I have 171 so far.
I left for Mount Sinai Hospital at 7:37 and got to Imaging Reception a little before 8:30. I sat in the CT scan waiting area for about half an hour. I was looking for this week’s supermarket flyers on my phone but had a difficult time because the Mount Sinai wifi is very weak.
Someone called me and directed me to the dressing booth where I put the gowns on correctly this time. Sheila was waiting for me when I had changed and helped me carry my stuff to the fancy high tech CT scan room. She was very nice and personable and calmly explained what was going to happen and how it was going to feel.
I found out that I could have drank cranberry juice with the Omnipaque after all.
She injected Buscopan into my arm to reduce bowel spasms. She inserted a tube in my anus with a balloon on the end and then pumped carbon dioxide into my colon. It was quite uncomfortable.
Several shots were taken with me on my stomach and back while a robot voice told me when to inhale and hold my breath. Near the end they found that there was an area that didn’t have a clear image. I asked if it was the same area they couldn’t reach during the colonoscopy and she said it probably was. She reinjected the gas and had me lie on my right side for another scan and this time they got it.
When I left the hospital I saw that I’d been there for an hour and twenty minutes.
On the way home I stopped at Freshco where I bought four bags of grapes, a pack of raspberries, bananas, avocadoes, vine tomatoes, a jug of cranberry juice, and two bottles of Garden Cocktail.
I weighed 87.6 kilos at 11:15, which is the lightest I’ve been in the morning since December 24.
I had breakfast and then took an early siesta.
I did the sit-ups, the chin-ups, the push-ups, and the skips that I normally do in the morning.
I weighed 88.25 kilos at 16:15. January 7 was the last early afternoon when I was that easy on the scale. I had a couple of mashed avocadoes with the last of my plantain chips and a glass of orange juice for lunch.
Song practice was a write off today for the first time in years because of the time I had to leave earlier that morning. I just couldn’t find the time to do it. I also skipped my usual shower.
I was caught up in my journal at 19:11.
I recorded from cassette tape through audio interface to Audacity, side 1 of a rehearsal with Tom Smarda on January 6, 1994. We practiced several of my songs that became part of the Christian and the Lions repertoire, including “Megaphor”, “The Next State of Grace”, “Calendar Girl”, “Seven Shades of Blues”, “Hungry Hippunk Goes to Work”, and “Me and Gravity”. At first there was no wave form and so I restarted but there were still no jagged sound lines. I shut down Bit Torrent to free up some memory and restarted again but the same problem persisted. I went into the Task Manager and shut down a few more things, then restarted again and this time it worked.
I heated the rest of the vegetable broth. I made a salad with vine ripened cherry tomatoes, two avocadoes, marinated mushrooms, olive paste, and maple-Dijon dressing. I ate supper while watching episode 6 of Captain Nice.
Carter Nash and his mother Esther Nash are just leaving a movie theatre when they hear a woman cry for help at the top of a burning building. Carter takes a ridiculous amount of time to change to Captain Nice. Even after he’s changed he doesn’t save her right away and while he’s standing there a guy comes out of the burning building and hands him a kerosene can. He saves her and it turns out she’s an exotic dancer named Miss Devine. Nice runs back into the burning building to see if there’s anyone else that needs rescuing and Esther calls out , “Carter be careful!”. The arson is listening from around the corner and repeats, “Carter”.
Devine is brought to look at suspects in a police line-up and although the suspects are known arsonists she doesn’t recognize any of them. She says the only one who saw the firebug was Captain Nice. Carter is sitting right there and has to pretend he didn’t see the bad guy. Then Lipton, the owner of the building steps in and Carter recognizes him as the arsonist but can't say anything without revealing his secret identity.
Carter checks the city records and finds that Lipton’s building was insured for twice as much as it was worth.
Captain Nice arrives at the mayor’s office just as Lipton is leaving and lets Chief Segal know that Lipton is the arsonist. Nice reluctantly agrees to testify in court.
While waiting outside the courtroom Carter is handed a note by the bailiff and it’s from Lipton. It reads, “If I am found guilty I will reveal your secret identity”. From the witness stand Nice points out Lipton as the arsonist. Lipton shouts, “You’ll pay for this!” The judge asks, “Are you threatening the witness?” “You bet I am!” “All right, I was just wondering. No need to get sore.”
Captain Nice leaves the courtroom and changes to Carter then goes back into court. Lipton grabs the guard’s gun and says he knows Captain Nice won’t stop his escape for fear of revealing his secret. Lipton backs toward the door but the door opens behind him and Carter’s mother in a Captain Nice costume knocks Lipton out with her purse.
Miss Devine was played by Marilyn Lovell, who often played a ding-bat character in her acting roles and in her cabaret performances. In 1958 she released her album Scotch Mist. She sang on the soundtracks for Scream Blacula Scream, The Return of Count Yorga, and Terror House. She returned to college in the 70s and 80s and became a therapist with a focus on AIDS patients. She performed many fund raising benefit cabaret concerts for AIDS research.

On Wednesday morning I continued gathering images for my photo-video of “Les millionaires” by Serge Gainsbourg.
In my preparation for tomorrow’s CT scan of my colon I mixed the barium but mistakenly added a liter of water instead of 750 ml. I don’t see why it would matter though since I’ll still be drinking it all in three doses anyway. I had the first dose and the taste was not horrible but the consistency was disgusting.
I was supposed to take the Pico Salax in the morning but I was worried I’d start to purge in the early afternoon while I was in the hygienist’s chair so I decided to wait until I got back.
I weighed 90.7 kilos after my liquid breakfast.
I played my Martin acoustic for the last of two sessions and it stayed in tune into the next song only twice. Tomorrow I’ll begin a four session stretch of playing my electric guitars. I had three songs left when I had to stop to get ready to leave.
I left for the U of T Graduate School of Dentistry at about 12:15 and got there pretty much exactly on time. Villi told me I’ve been doing an excellent job of brushing. My next appointment is in the middle of July.
When I got home I took the second dose of barium and the first packet of Pico Salax.
I finished the last three songs of my rehearsal and drank a glass of cranberry juice.
I took a siesta from 16:00 to 17:53.
I weighed 89.35 kilos at 18:10, which is the lightest I’ve been in the evening since February 9.
I started to purge my bowels at around 18:30.
I was caught up in my journal at 19:19.
I recorded from cassette tape through audio interface to Audacity and then extracted to my hard drive side 2 of the rehearsal with Steve Lowe of my song “Snow on a Poppy”. We also talked about Indian gurus. Steve was a disciple of Sai Baba.
I made a folder for photos of Sarah Louise Young in my SSD and deleted several pictures of her from my hard drive.
At around 20:00 I drank the last of the barium and then the last of the Pico Salax.
I had a glass of cranberry juice and a bowl of vegetable broth while watching episode 5 of Captain Nice. This one was funnier than the previous scripts.
It’s Carter Nash’s birthday and his mother Esther, his friend Candy and his uncle Mayor Finney are feting him in a nightclub called Medulla where the featured performer and the owner is Medulla the Mentalist.
Medulla suddenly acts possessed. He says there’s a wanted killer in the room and then Carter sees a man at a table draw a gun. He goes to the coat check to change to Captain Nice then flies in front of Medulla to shield him from the bullet just in time. Then the man pulls a knife but Medulla tells him he wasn’t talking about him and the man puts the knife away saying, “Oh, well no harm done”. As the police take the man away Medulla says, “If there’s one thing you get used to in this business, it’s hecklers”.
The next day Carter is with the mayor and the police chief and the mayor is complaining about the current crime wave. The chief explains that every thug in the country is in Big Town because Joe Kowalski is about to be released from prison. Joe is the only surviving member of the gang that made the Great San Perdu Train Robbery and he’s the only one who knows where the $2 million is buried. The mayor asks the chief if he questioned Joe and he answers, “With every rubber hose in the station house”. Carter is surprised and asks, “You struck a prisoner?”. The chief explains, “We talk to them through rubber hoses. It throws them off their guard”.
Mayor Finney has the idea for Medulla to read Joe’s mind and find out where the money is”. Carter urges him not to consult Medulla because he’s a fraud. Finney tells Carter to test Medulla’s powers in his lab. Carter says he’ll do it but warns that if they use that charlatan for official business they’ll be the laughing stock of Big Town. He asks, “How would you like that?” The chief answers that it hasn’t bothered them so far.
The scene switches to the home of Joe Kowalski’s wife and two sons as they prepare for the celebration of Joe’s return home after twenty years. Mrs. Kowalski is overjoyed about seeing her husband again. Her son Lennie asks why she never visited Joe in prison and she says because Thursday is canasta night. Lennie asks why Joe never told them where the money is. Mrs. K says, Maybe because you turned him in”.
Joe arrives but while starting to tell his family where the money is he has a heart attack and dies. All he says is, “Check … room… Medulla”. Jake knows Medulla is the name of a nightclub and the mentalist who owns it. He says they’ll go to search Medulla’s room. If they don’t find anything they’ll bring Medulla back there and beat it out of him. Jake will break his arms, Lennie will break his legs, and Ma will step on his face. Mrs. K gets sentimental and says, “It’s been so long since this family has done anything together”.
Carter tests Medulla and confirms he’s a fake but Finney takes his findings as confirmation of Medulla’s powers and puts him on the case. Carter goes to Medulla’s room to find evidence that he’s not a real psychic but while he’s there Jake and Lennie arrive and think Carter is Medulla. They force him back to their place and when they threaten to kill him Carter pretends he’s going into a trance to find the money. They follow Carter back to the Nash house where Carter is looking for his super power serum while pretending to be guided to the money. Carter’s mother has the serum and gives it to him, telling the brothers that it’s Medulla’s memory juice. The brothers are defeated.
Carter concludes that what Joe told his family: “Check room Medulla” means the money is in the check room at Medulla’s night club and it has been there for twenty years.
Mrs. Kowalski was played by Florence Halop, who started performing on radio at the age of 4. Her radio debut was on “Coast to Coast on a Bus”. Also on the radio she played the man crazy daughter of owner of Duffy’s Tavern and Hot Breath Houlihan for two seasons of The Jimmy Durante Show. Her film debut was in Nancy Drew Reporter in 1939. Her TV debut was as Millie’s mother on the sitcom Meet Millie in the early 50s and she played the character at the same time on the radio. She played the bailiff Florence Kleiner on 22 episodes of Night Court until she died. She was a regular guest star as the annoying patient Mrs. Hufnagel during the third season of St Elsewhere.
March 5, 1996: My new landlords suddenly decided they didn't want to share their place after all
Thirty years ago today
On Monday my new landlords Helga and Peter told me they’d decided they didn’t want to share their rented house with anyone after all and asked if I would kindly move out. I couldn’t believe they would invite someone to go through the trouble of pulling up their roots and then expect them to just move again after settling in when I’d done nothing to hurt them whatsoever other than just being another person in their lives. I refused to move and they immediately put the wheels into motion to try to evict me. It turned out that Helga was particularly talented in that kind of devious endeavour.

On Tuesday morning I continued gathering images for my photo-video of “Les millionaires” by Serge Gainsbourg. I have 166 so far.
I weighed 90.25 kilos before breakfast.
I played my Martin acoustic during song practice for the first of two sessions and it was out of tune on every song for the first three quarters of the session. During the last five songs it stayed in tune.
I made a few more sub-folders for photos in my SSD and deleted several more images from my hard drive.
In the afternoon I took a bike ride downtown and back.
I weighed 90.4 kilos at 18:30.
I was caught up in my journal at 19:16.
I recorded from cassette tape through audio interface to Audacity and then extracted to my hard drive side one of a rehearsal of my songs “Spool of the Moon” and “Snow on a Poppy” with Steve Lowe trying to learn the songs on guitar. Neither song ever became part of the Christian and the Lions repertoire.
I deleted a few photos from my hard drive.
I steamed the rest of my broccoli and had it in a salad with two vine ripened tomatoes, two avocadoes, a scallion, and lime-miso dressing. I ate while watching episode 4 of Captain Nice.
At the dedication of a bridge from Big Town to Trash Island we learn that it is being named after Mayor Finney. Maybe Donald Trump got his ideas of naming landmarks after himself from this show.
Finney has the oldest person in town dedicate the bridge by breaking a bottle of champagne against it. The impact causes large pieces of the bridge to begin falling apart.
Carter Nash is there and quickly finds a secluded place to change into Captain Nice. He saves people from a falling girder.
Later Carter analyzes the bridge cement and finds that it’s 30% oatmeal. He interrupts Finney’s flirtations with his secretary Miss Schneider to tell him about the faulty construction material.
The mayor confronts Porter and Spencer the bridge builders about their shoddy material. They first try to bribe him but when that doesn’t work they pull a gun and hold him hostage until he signs the million dollar cheque.
Finney’s absence is barely noticed and Miss Schneider has almost forgotten him. Carter’s mother wants him to turn to Captain Nice and then fly around looking for her brother the mayor but he doesn’t want to fly when he has a cold. She tells him to wear his winter costume and two pairs of socks but he says he has to leave. Carter leaves behind something he earlier told Sergeant Candy Cane was “turpin hydro phosphor chlorate” but it’s probably Turpin-hydrate (a kind of cough medicine that used to be popular). His mother thinks he left behind his super power serum and she drinks it in order to fly to find her brother. She jumps out the window and crashes.
Carter and Candy in civilian clothes go to see Porter and Spencer under the pretense of having them build an apartment building for them. But they recognize Candy as a cop and pull a gun. They capture Candy but Carter runs outside and hides in a garbage bin where he transforms into Captain Nice. Spencer attacks him with a forklift but Nice bends the forks. Spencer and Porter try to escape into their own building but when they slam the door the building collapses. Nice says they’ll be sentenced to several years in prison but the prison won’t hold them for more than a few days because they built it.
Miss Schneider was played by Sabrina Scharf, who when she was 15 eloped with her algebra teacher but the marriage was annulled after 3 years. She travelled to New York where in a Greenwich Village diner she met an off-Broadway theatre troupe that offered her a job as an assistant and let her sleep in the theatre. After working as a Playboy Bunny for a while in a New York club she went out to California. She got hired as a contract player by Columbia and her TV debut was on an episode of Gidget in 1965. Her film debut was in Dead Heat on a Merry Go Round in 1966. She co-starred in Hells Angels On Wheels. She appeared in the film Easy Rider and guest starred as Miramanee, Kirk’s love interest in the Star Trek episode The Paradise Syndrome. In 1972 she ran for the California state senate and only lost by 700 votes. She became an attorney and practiced real estate law.

On Monday morning I continued collecting images for my photo-video of “Les millionaires”. I have 163 so far.
I weighed 91.05 kilos before breakfast, which is the heaviest I’ve been in the morning since February 21.
I played my Kramer electric during song practice and it stayed in tune pretty much the whole session. Tomorrow I’ll begin a two session stretch of playing my Martin acoustic.
Around midday I finished painting with “blue bliss” the underside of my lower bathroom shelf and added a first coat to the trim between north wall and the wall tiles below. I might have all the trim done on Friday, and after that I’ll start of the door and the door frame.
I weighed 91.6 kilos before lunch. That’s the unkindest I’ve been to the scale in the early afternoon since February 20.
In the afternoon I took a bike ride downtown and back. I stopped at Metro in the Annex to buy five vine ripened tomatoes.
I weighed 90.7 kilos at 18:30, the same as last Monday evening.
I was caught up in my journal at 19:08.
I recorded from cassette tape through audio interface to Audacity and then extracted to my hard drive a recording of Steve Lowe and I rehearsing my songs “Angeline” twice and “Calendar Girl” once. Steve was very proud of his guitar playing on “Angeline”. This was side two of the tape that I started copying yesterday and which contained on the other side my performance of Rocky Capano’s song and also of my own song “Me and Gravity”.
I made some more sub-folders for photos in my SSD and deleted several more images from my hard drive.
I steamed some broccoli and had it in a salad with two tomatoes, two avocadoes, a scallion, and lime-miso salad dressing. I ate it while watching episode 3 of Captain Nice.
While stopping two burglars from breaking into a jewellery store Captain Nice accidentally and unknowingly spills his super power serum. He doesn’t notice it’s missing until the next morning and then he goes back to the jewellery store. There is a small hole in the glass window of the store with some threads around it. Then he hears the police say the entire Garden of Eden Botanical Nursery has been stolen and he goes along with them as police chemist Carter Nash to investigate. He finds the same silk threads at the nursery and concludes that the nursery wasn’t stolen but rather eaten, perhaps by some kind of animal.
Carter and Sergeant Candy Cane go to see the animal expert Dr. Von Keppel at the zoo. Carter says he knows he’s been studying animals all his life. The doctor says “longer than that”. He says animals are his main love and then he shoos away a pigeon from his window and expresses how disgusting they are. Keppel says animals should be allowed to roam freely and anyone who disagrees with that should be in jail.
While they are there they see an elephant has been knocked unconscious. Inside the nearby food storage building they hear the sounds of eating and a great roar. Carter goes inside and then comes back out in shock. He says it was a caterpillar. The little monster has already consumed the produce of six supermarkets and trees are falling all around. The army starts bombing it but it has no effect. Carter says it will soon turn into a moth.
Carter builds a caterpillar lure that reproduces the sound of lettuce. He activates it in the park, then turns into Captain Nice. He tries to fight the unseen monster but it tosses him away easily. Then Nice feeds his serum to his mother’s pet parakeet Sheldon and the bird eats the caterpillar. Now Sheldon is missing and several hundred kilos of birdseed have disappeared from the grainery.
Dr. Von Keppel was played by Johnny Haymer, who portrayed Sergeant Zelmo Zale on twenty episodes of M.A.S.H. He was the voice if the Decepticon Swindle in the Transformers. He guest starred in “All Our Yesterdays”, the penultimate episode of the original Star Trek series. He co-starred on Madame’s Place. He did TV commercials for Standard Shoes.
March 3, 1996: I started making a toy crossbow for my daughter
On Saturday it was cold so my daughter and I spent the day inside at my place. I started making a toy crossbow for her out of junk I found like an old crutch and a door latch.

Liam Dunn
I weighed 90.15 kilos before breakfast.
I played my Gibson Les Paul Studio during song practice and it stayed in tune most of the time.
Yesterday I’d forgotten to buy high acid vinegar for cleaning my warm mist humidifiers. Sunday’s my humidifier cleaning day and so around midday I rode to Freshco to buy some. I also bought some broccoli. When I got home I immediately worked on cleaning the humidifier that’s been running all week and started the other one working. Starting in about three weeks I’ll probably be using the humidifiers less and less until I won’t need to use them again until fall.
I weighed 90.8 kilos before lunch.
In the afternoon I took a bike ride downtown and back. It was cold again for the first time in a few days. Spring will be here in three weeks and probably after that there will only be one more storm before the weather starts getting warmer.
I weighed 90.45 kilos at 18:20.
I was caught up in my journal at 19:27.
I recorded from cassette tape through audio interface to Audacity and then extracted to my hard drive the song I sang while reading Rocky Capano’s lyrics at Cherry Beach Recording Studio on August 4, 1994. There were professional studio musicians backing me up. Rocky just handed me a lyric sheet and asked me to sing the song, so I made up the melody as I went along. I also got to record my song “Me and Gravity” with the same musicians. It wasn’t really the style I wanted for my song but it was interesting. It was the only time I’d ever performed in a fully professional recording studio.
I sautéed garlic and scallions, added some broccoli and then pho broth. I tossed in the half bowl of chili that was left over from last night. I had all two and a half bowls of soup for supper while watching episode 2 of Captain Nice.
The very wealthy Sheik Abdul comes to Big Town. Captain Nice saves him from an assassination attempt. Mayor Finney asks the sheik what he wants to buy in Big Town and he says he wants to buy Big Town but he’ll send back what he doesn’t use.
The sheik decides he wants Sergeant Candy Cane for his 120th wife. He starts the wheels in motion by first having Candy assigned as his police bodyguard (It looks like she’s a cop now and no longer a parking enforcement officer). The sheik asks Candy to marry him but she blurts out that she belongs to Carter Nash. The sheik offers Carter one of his beautiful wives in exchange for Candy but he turns him down.
The mayor’s sister is Carter’s domineering mother and she wants the sheik to come for lunch at her house. He accepts the invitation but plans on having Carter killed while he’s there. There are name cards and so the sheik’s servant injects poison into Carter’s pastry. But before the meal the sheik demands that his food taster sample the food. Carter feels bad that the taster only gets a few mouthfuls of food a day so he gives him his pastry which kills him.
The next time Candy is in the sheik’s hotel room a sack is pulled over her body, head first. He tells her that after a few years as his wife she will come to love him and then he will let her out of the sack.
Carter overhears the sheik’s plans to smuggle Candy out of the country and so he changes to Captain Nice (Whenever he does so he always first carefully hangs up his civilian clothes). Nice frees Candy and she places the sheik’s servant under arrest for murder, assault and attempted kidnapping. He is surprised and asks, “You arrest people for that?” Nice tells him, “This is a democracy. We can arrest people for practically anything”.
Mayor Finney was played by Liam Dunn, who studied at a small acting school while still in high school. He worked as a casting director for CBS and gave Warren Beatty, Steve McQueen and George C. Scott their first acting jobs. His film debut was in That’s My Man in 1947. He had a role in What’s Up Doc? and was noticed by Mel Brooks who made him part of his stock company of actors.
March 2, 1996: Brian Haddon performed with me at Spit Fridays
On Friday Brian Haddon and I busked together on Queen Street and in the evening he
performed with me on the Spit Fridays open stage in the back room of the Cameron.

William Daniels
On Saturday morning I continued gathering images for my photo-video of “Les millionaires” by Serge Gainsbourg. I have 151 pictures so far.
I weighed 89.3 kilos before breakfast.
I played my Martin acoustic during song practice for the last of four sessions. It only stayed in tune for about five songs near the end.
My Snark guitar tuner displays notes for sirens going by. An approaching fire truck on Queen wailed in C, then when it turned on Dunn Avenue it toned G before going back to C.
Around midday I went over to Freedom Mobile to pay for my March phone plan. Then I went to Vina Pharmacy to buy some Pico Salax for Wednesday the day before my CT scan. I got cranberry flavour this time. I wasn’t allowed cranberry juice before my colonoscopy but red stuff is totally all right before the CT scan since I’ll already be drinking red dye.
I went to No Frills where I bought five bags of red grapes, a pack of raspberries, some bananas, several avocadoes, lemon dish detergent, pho broth, vegetable broth, two jugs of cranberry juice, a jug of orange juice, and two bags of plantain chips. I did a price match on the grapes with the Freshco price of $4.39 a kilo.
I weighed 90 kilos at 14:35. I had plantain chips with some mashed avocado.
I took a siesta intending to get up at 17:00 but I forgot that and panicked when I woke up at 16:40. After brushing my teeth I realized my mistake and went back to bed for twenty minutes.
I weighed 89.95 kilos at 17:35, which is the lightest I’ve been in the evening since February 11.
I was caught up in my journal at 18:31.
I recorded from cassette tape through audio interface to Audacity and then extracted to my hard drive an interview with me on CIUT radio when I was promoting my chapbook Vomit of the Star Eater. I performed on my guitar “The Princess and the Pea Happy Song” and “Sleep in the Snow”. I sang acapella “Vomit of the Star Eater”.
I created more sub-folders for photos in my SSD and deleted several more from my hard drive.
I heated yesterday’s chili and had a bowl with a toasted slice of Bavarian sandwich bread while watching the first episode of Captain Nice.
Carter Nash is a mild mannered police chemist who has developed a serum that can give super powers to whoever drinks it. He provides a demonstration to the mayor and the chief of police giving the serum to a mouse and showing it knocking out a cat. The mayor however fails to see the practical application. When Carter asks him what he thought would happen if he took the serum the mayor thinks he’d only be able to beat up a cat.
The mayor and the chief are more concerned about the super villain and master of disguise Omnus.
Meanwhile Parking Enforcement Officer Sergeant Candy Cane is aggressively trying to get Carter romantically involved with her, although Carter is mostly oblivious to her advances. She takes him for a walk in the park but she is abducted by two of Omnus’s men.
Omnus has been spying on Carter and knows about the formula and its potential. He knows the formula is in Carter’s briefcase and is trying to get it. Carter drinks the serum so Omnus won’t be able to possess it. There is an explosion in Carter’s body that causes his clothing to be torn in such a way that it looks like a superhero’s costume. He now has super strength, invulnerability and the ability to fly and is
easily able to defeat Omnus’s henchmen.
Carter goes home and tells his domineering mother and his father who is always hidden by a newspaper. It’s his mother who tells him he must keep making the formula so he can keep drinking it to fight crime. She says she’ll make him a better costume.
Carter was played by William Daniels, who was a member of the singing and dancing Daniels family and made his radio debut in 1936. He made his TV debut performing with his family in an experimental broadcast in 1943 at the age of 16. The same year he made his Broadway debut in Life With Father. He was drafted in 1945 and served in Italy as an army radio disc jockey. After the war he attended North Western University where his classmates were Paul Lynde and his future wife Bonnie Bartlett (they’ve been married for a Hollywood record of 74 years). He won an Obee award for his performance in Edward Albee’s Zoo Story in 1958. He made his film debut in Ladybug Ladybug in 1963. He co-starred in The Parallax View, All Night Long, and Her Alibi. He was the voice of the car KITT on Knight Rider. He played Dr. Mark Craig on St. Elsewhere from 1982 to 1988. He played the teacher George Feeny on Boy Meets World from 1993 to 2000. He was the voice of a hospital ship in the Star Trek: Voyager episode “Critical Care”. He starred in the movie 1776. He was president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1999 to 2001. At age 98 he appeared on Dancing With the Stars.
