It is simply a glorious day outside. I walked around for a bit picking up stray tree limbs which had broken off during some windy weather last week. And even though it's getting late in the afternoon, I can have the windows open and the breeze is still cool and delightful.

I was able to get the two remaining episodes of NASH BRIDGES watched. All formula stuff to be sure. But Don Johnson has charm on the show; that's for sure.

Matt H. · « **Reply #125 on:** October 13, 2008, 01:33:00 PM »

I also got the rest of the bonus features watched. That included a vintage interview with Johnson and Cheech Marin. There was also a 2008 interview with Johnson as he remembered getting the show off the ground. And there was a vintage CBS promo for the show.

Next, I watched today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. Yep, Luke and Noah actually had decent scenes today and it was interesting. Nothing in the previews for tomorrow, however.

And I finished up my afternoon by completing the last half hour of last night's BROTHERS & SISTERS episode. A much better episode than the previous two, there were genuine emotions and some fascinating character interactions that are the reason I began watching and liking this show in the first place. Hopefully, this is the path where they stay for the remainder of the season. (Of course, I know we'll have those monumental family squabbles from time to time. The show was built on those, too; I just don't like them every week.)

Tonight I should have time to watch last night's DEXTER, and then I may have time to pop in a Charlie Chan movie (since they're only a little over an hour long) before I start watching prime time TV off the DVR.

I know the producer had the contract for the theater - that I saw, so hopefully he's done what need be done. Kevin talked to him and he said the press release had gone out and gave Kevin the addresses - which means that nobody ran it, which I find infuriating. He's going to have to send it out again. He's actually in LA as of later tonight, so I'm sure we'll meet and hash all this out.

I read that since it stopped having the high rated THE CLOSER as its lead-in, the ratings for RAISING THE BAR have dropped precipitously.

This has been a really infuriating day - compounded by the way I'm feeling, which is yucky in the extreme. I didn't want to have to talk today, but I have had one annoying phone call after another, plus having to make sure our print is going to press and that the pressing plant is ready to go as soon as they get the master, which should be tomorrow.

Matt H. · « **Reply #133 on:** October 13, 2008, 02:06:21 PM »

I'm heading down now to watch some things for fun tonight. Nice to be able to just kick back in my chair and enjoy.

Well, my Mom's doctor just came and left. He explained how things will work tomorrow, and also asked a few more questions and answer a couple too. Alas, I ended up finding out that my mom was first advised to have this procedure a little over ten years ago, but her current doctor did assure her (and me) that her interim actions were OK too. -She got second and third opinions back then.

I do have to say that it's a little unsettling knowing that the doctors will sort of have to play it by ear during tomorrow's procedures since they won't really know what they're dealing with until the procedure is under way. She will be prepped starting at 5:00am, and then she'll move to the ER at 7:00am. Due to the nature of the surgery, there's nothing that "we" can do during that time. They will check in with my Dad at 1:00. So, I will probably just sleep in tomorrow morning and then head over around Noon.

In the meantime, I'm going to head back out around 6:00 and head over to Carytown for a stroll and some window-shopping. And maybe a $1.99 movie at The Byrd Theater. Oh, and Bev's Ice Cream.

I have just been provided a link to a certain presidential candidate's web site where I can log-in and receive telephone contact data to enable me to do vote solicitation/polling from my home - at my own expense.

This should sure bump-up the number of political phone calls hitting the streets (no calls before 10AM or after 9PM).

I've had a fascinating day, with a physical therapist named Gurjeet to introduce to our DR MBarnum. I got to Toyland this morning, photocopied the "March of the toys" for this high school request, put together some work for Mr skip Kennon, and went off to physical therapy. I like my therapist Gurjeet versy much, and my shoulder went through rounds of heat therapy, ultrasound therapy, and then something involving ice and electroshock. Gurjeet thinks my problem is possibly a form of bursitis, and I'm seeing him now twice a week. I left therapy about 1 o'clock, took the No 11 bus up amsterdam Avenue to 125th and transferred to a busrunning to Park Avenue. I got to the recording session around 1:30, visited with the ever glorious Christianne Noll, and a singer who's doing the bass solo in "Nothing Like A Dame" in SOUTH PACIFIC. We dished about Paolo's replacement, Paolo's standby, and the workshops of the musical THE ADDAMS FAMILY.

My friend Josh's orchestrations were really nice, and I liked the writer very much, The songs are interesting. I rode home with my harpist friend Karen Lindquist, who's another of my favorite players, so I think it was all in all a very good day.

I just got off the phone with our DR Jose. Since I can't stop by the hospital to keep him companyduring this period, the least I can do is call him and offer a shoulder if he needs it. I beleve his mother's procedure will be successful and they'll have her walking in two days, but I also understand the fear and anxiety before the surgery. More vibes to our DR Jose from me:

Went to the mail place only to be reminded no mail today. I just hate these ridiculous government holidays. Make it a holiday for all or for none. So that means that the Laurette master probably won't get to the pressing plant until Wednesday now. Annoying. As is the wind, which I'm quite sure is playing havoc with my allergies, exacerbating an already yucky situation.

I just got back from a walk to the Public Theatre. Tickets went on sale to the general public yesterday so I decided to walk over today and now I have a ticket for Wise Guys/Gold/Bounce/Road Show (whatever you wanna call it) for Wednesday evening November 5th at 8pm. It's playing in the Newman Theatre. I know all the talk and all the re-writes and all the various opinions about it but I'm still excited to see it.

Well, the head anesthesiologist just came in to go over his team's procedures for tomorrow...

My Dad went ahead and headed back home for a bit to get some clothes, as well as to get his hair cut.

. So, I'll be here for a little while longer.

*And I do have to say it's been a little "interesting" watching CNN with my Mom.
