Three!

[Jane]

Thank goodness for HHW and for BK's notes.  Without them, I would never have known that today is Friday.  It isn't like I had decided that today was some different day of the week, I really hadn't thought about it one way or another.  But when BK wrote, "Today is Friday....."; I thought to myself, "Self, this can't possibly be Friday.  But it must be true, because BK told me so.."

[Jane]

I'm up after a really good night's sleep, which I really needed.

I needed one as well but alas was wide awake until late & woke up before 7:00.

The NY Marathon this Sunday is today's bone of contention: there are generators and shelter brought in to keep the runners comfortable while the people in Long Island and Staten Island with no power - in some cases, no shelter or food - are justifiably fraught over this news.

My "Irene" friend has a discussion going on about it at her FB friend.  While she luckily came through Sandy fine friends close by were some of the hardest hit by this storm.  They can't get money, food, gas, etc.  They are understandable very angry.  One suggestion was each person planning to run the marathon take in supplies instead.

We are so used to seeing these types of photos after every disaster that happens around the world, which is why I have to remind myself that these are Americans.  These are New Yorkers.

Mayor Bloomberg just said in today's update press conference that they hoped to have power on in all Manhattan by midnight tonight. The footage from Staten Island and Long Island is heartbreaking. It's so sad.

[TCB]

I just spoke to my postman: we won't be getting mail and packages until the main post office has its power back. Not great news.

I hope you aren't expecting anything urgent.

Thank goodness for Direct Deposit!

So anyway - for some reason I have been without INNER WEB since way early this morning....

It just came back....thank you COMCAST.

[Jane]

More dog treat recalls.

I did not have to go to rehearsal last night - but tonight we are doing the WHOLE SHOW beginning at 6 p.m. - so we shall see.

I am sure at one time or another David will mention his son.....or I will come upon a conversation with he and others about it....but as the snippet that DR TCB posted last night, David has had quite an interesting career himself.

[Jrand73]

Our costumes are in, but my fitting is not until Sunday at 5:45 p.m. - and we will also be having our Head Shots for the show taken that day....so.....it will be a busy day.

No rehearsal on Saturday, so of course I will be working at the World of Wisdom.

"She had more curves than a scenic turnpike." I LOVE IT!!!!

Since DR Jose seems incapable of posting here these days, I blame it on Romney!

[elmore3003]

Around noon, I stepped out to buy a wedding gift, and the buses are packed with nannies and mothers taking their children shopping since the schools are closed. All I can say is, open the schools ASAP! I am amazed at the number of rude, undisciplined noisy obnoxious children breeding in this town.

[Jane]

I wrote him to ask for a postcard from DC and he said he will post soon.....
"This has been a tiring(!) rehearsal period."

I did?

Speaking of post cards, thank you DR Ginny for sending yours.

[Jane]

I can imagine they might be more hyped & unruly than usual.

[TCB]

I apologize for not offering to send one from Washington.  I don't get out to stores very often, and the Safeway delivery truck doesn't carry postcards.

You're welcome, DR Jane.  They went out in today's mail.

I sent ones that were in my "stash," DR TCB - One from the First Ladies Museum in Canton, OH, and one from Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky.

You keep a "stash" of post cards?

[Druxy]

I am tired of people blaming this terrible storm on my wife, Sandy.


STOP IT!

[Jrand73]

Maybe it wasn't you DR TCB.....sorry.....some other astute DR - oh wait....I remember - it was DR GEORGE.

Well, not intentionally, but I usually buy more than I send when we're traveling so a small stash has developed.  I'm so glad when there's a fun way to pay them forward.

As much as I'm annoyed at The Man Who Knew Too Much's shortcomings, I can tell you it's a huge step up from the previous DVD and that most people will be fine with it.

That's really all I need to know. Fortunately I don't expect perfection in any area of life 

[TCB]

As usual, when a crisis like this occurs, I want the help in some way, but I find myself at a loss.  So, a financial donation is about the only thing I can do.  I dislike The Red Cross (a personal thing) so I give to World Vision.  Not only are they headquartered here in the Northwest (Federal Way), but I always feel that they go the extra mile.

Here they are out distributing already on a street in Queens, even though a large warehouse of theirs in New York was flooded.

I wonder if I have any from Italy that I didn't send?  I don't think so.
