Well, I'm still at home.  I'm going into work late because a friend of mine and I are meeting for lunch and there wasn't really enough time for me to go to work then leave for lunch, so I'm just going to go to work after lunch. ;) So, I'm off. 

Until later...when I get to work!

Last minute TV-DVR-VCR Alert...

Paolo Szot - the Emile in the current production of South Pacific - is a guest on Martha Stewart's show today.

Thanks for the info!  I went to set my DVR and the description read like this:

"Pumpkin Carving and Broadway's Paula Szot", (2008), Pumpkin-carving with Michael Natiello and Lisa Berberette. Also: Tony winner Paulo Szot ("South Pacific")....

Paula??  At least they corrected it. ;)

Or maybe it was wishful thinking?

Back from the long jog, which was nice, and the post office, which was, thankfully, not crowded.  Have shaved, and will shower in about ten minutes.

Uh - oh - Lucy just put three dozen eggs in her blouse, and Ricky wants to rehearse the Tango Dance they are going to do for the PTA.....

I remember the episode but I don't remember why Lucy couldn't tell Ricky about the eggs!

Just got an automated call telling me that UPS is delivering a package to my house tomorrow that HAS to be signed for.  I am guessing/hoping it is my TELEVISION returning from its sojourn in Buffalo, New York.

That's why I can't wait for the future when we will have robot servants to sign for packages.

One of my all-time favorite Conan O'Brien "news from the future" quotes:  In the future, robots will perform dull, repetitive tasks like washing dishes and marrying J Lo.

You should never tell anyone this.  It's always more fun to point and laugh.

I remember the episode but I don't remember why Lucy couldn't tell Ricky about the eggs!

"Lucy Does the Tango": The Ricardos' and the Mertzes' chicken business isn't doing very well. Lucy and Ethel come up with a scheme to fool the boys into thinking the hens are laying lots of eggs by smuggling some, hidden underneath their clothes, into the henhouse. On one such trip, Ricky insists that he and Lucy rehearse their tango number for a local benefit. Unbeknownst to Ricky, Lucy's blouse is filled with chicken eggs.

Bargain tip #1

I transferred an Rx (for which my insurance pays 100%) to Walgreens.

For being kind enough to transfer the Rx they give me a $25.00 gift card.

I used gift card to buy a new electric razor that was marked down half price, making it only $20.99.

Over this last year or so that same Rx has been transferred to every store in town that gives away gift cards.


This is what you do when you are poor like me.

Bargain Tip #2:

Don't buy another Bollywood movie or soundtrack until you have watched and listened to the ones you already have.


*Bonus Tip (#3): Don't buy another movie or CD of any potential interviewees until you have finished transcribing all the interviews you have already done.
