Oh, gee---I forgot that I was verging on a millstone of 5,000 and to commemorate it, I was going to do my weekly begging to bk to send the 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T soundtrack.

Pleeeeease, bk???

I've had a different experience--for me, the USPS is the most reliable, and UPS had caused me to want to strangle someone there a number of times. I've also had several packages seriously damaged by them.

The only problems I've had with USPS is occasionally I will get someone else's mail, but then I take it to them.  

Hm..I confess I'm surprised. But then, it's been a few years since I dealt with UPS on a daily basis...perhaps their service has gone downhill...

Everything seems to.  :(

American goldfinches would be native to Virginia. There are probably more around than you would know about. Look at your local Petsmart for a feeder with tiny holes that would dispense niger (or thistle) seed. Or look for a little sack with niger seed. If you put out the feeder, you will probably see a dozen or so, as soon as they find it.

The finch feeder would be a long skinny tube with a yellow cap.

I was surprised to read that GREY GARDENS would be closing at the end of July.  You would think that business for a Tony winner would be brisk during the summer.

I used to have a co-worker who insisted, whenever we had an office cake, that only virgins could get the pieces with the icing flowers...


That must be why I have never had an icing flower.

Madeline was arguing with Bill, proclaiming that in no way would she help him connect with any cute babes in her department, and that that was her DEMARCHE and she was sticking to it.

So he MACED HER.

All the talk on the first page about having trouble sleeping...

Yep, me too, at least for last night.  I tried napping when I got home after work today, but it didn't take.

Hopefully, tonight will be better.

Time Warner, ladies and gentlemen - for the last two weeks the service has had so many glitches it's laughable.  I finally called them yesterday, when the service went down, and they, as always, have to blame everything but themselves.  While I was talking, the service came back on and I got off the call.  Today it's happened three times in row in the space of fifteen minutes.  I called, was on hold for eight minutes, then the call disconnected.  I called again, and the call disconnected almost immediately, but not before having to listen to all that interminable voice mail crap.  I'm afraid they are not going to like me when I finally get through.

Time Warner is sending out a technician to check the modem box and the line that's coming into the house.  Of course, nothing on their end is wrong, only how can I have perfectly good signal niney percent of the time, and then this other ten percent have it just stop and then come back on its own, without me resetting anything.  My fear, of course, is that they'll give me a "new" cable modem that won't work at all, as happened to a friend of mine.

Woody, you know Jason Graae too?
Not that well.  We've only encountered each other once.

It was during BK's recording of Graae's An Evening of Self-Indulgence: Live at the Cinegrill.  Der B and I had arrived at what we thought would be an early enough time, but the only seats left were practically right on stage, to the left of the playing area.  It was more than kinda neat, being that close in.

Well, it's time for the encore, and he's singing "What More Can I Say" from Falsettoes, and he's seated on the other side of the stage... and there's no way he can not look at us, simply because of how the chair he's sitting in is facing.  And der B and I are holding hands.

Comes the applause after the number, Jason comes over to us and thanks us and says something about seeing us holding hands.  I think.  The applause was so loud that I couldn't make out a word of what he was saying.  Maybe he was cursing us out for not applauding enough during the evening.  Personally, I'd like to think the former.

And that's my Jason Graae story.

Anyone seen the new HARRY POTTER film yet? I just made plans with my friend Hal to see it on Monday. Maybe the crowds will have died down just a bit by then.
Yes, der B and I saw it yesterday afternoon.

We enjoyed it.

Have you ever played Marty the Cork?

The story of two kids at a summer camp, very different but they match up perfectly.

The Randy Vicar has a guest role.

(Just as I suspected, BK does not read ALL the posts -- well, at least not all of mine -- could it be that my reputation for gratuitous posting proceeds me and makes my postings suspect as being spamish ...)

The day of DR 3-D's brilliant plan for Brain shares, I wanted to be part of the action and requested a share (I can't remember the day nor the post number -- but it's in the archives somewhere, I promise).

So put the Murphys down for a share BK --  what does that take you to?
