Well, that brought us to Page 2.
The madness continues.
Everyone in Philly is on pins and needles this morning after last night's game suspension of the World Series. What a disappointment! And it's gonna seem kind of anti-climatic to just play three innings tonight. I would rather that the Phillies lost tonight and won the Series in a real game even if it's played in Tampa Bay. Grrrrr--between this and the election I really can't wait for the next week to be over!
In any case, I will be wearing my Phills cap all day unless a VP tells me otherwise.
re: the world series.
I wonder if both teams would rather they just started the game over and played a full 9 innings.
It should definitely be interesting.
Let's see if this works. This isn't post-confirmation, but post-Bar Mitzvah, after the boys "styled" BeeGee with bling they brought home:

Today my television - or another one - is supposed to arrive. I have my fingers crossed that it will work! I don't know if they repaired my old one, or if they are sending me a replacement.

Still no TV, DR MATTH.....but everyone here will know when it arrives and in what condition.
DR DtM the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream is encouraging you to take dance lessons in anticipation of an upcoming event.
DR Ben - What are your Wednesday afternoons like the next couple of weeks? ;)
DR DtM the Dream-O-Matic 6000 says that your dream is encouraging you to take dance lessons in anticipation of an upcoming event.
Well, I'll take that under consideration though it's a little strange--I already know how to dance but I have no upcoming event where that would be necessary.
Maybe there's some unnecessary dancing coming up in my future?
Great photos, DR Vixmom!
By the way, that was a California Condor that soared past me yesterday. We had just given up on seeing a condor. I saw it coming and whipped the camera out of my pocket. I had one quick second to point and shoot. Pure luck.
I had a dream last night but the only thing I can remember about it was that there was a newspaper story in which I was somehow scandalously linked to Rita Hayworth. I have no idea where that one came from...The Onion, perhaps?

I am now in the basement of the Nashotah House Library while Richard takes Rob on a walking tour of the rest of the campus. In about an hour, Richard and I will park Rob here to finish a paper he has to email back to UC by tomorrow evening, I'll take Richard to his graduation rehearsal, and I'll go to my favorite shops in Delafield. It's so cold and windy here that I may have to buy a hat - the coat I brought doesn't have a hood.

-And if they had stopped the game earlier - like when they grounds crew started sprinkling all that dirt on the field (and before they rolled out the tarp - which was known to be "faulty") - then they would have to do an "do over".

DR Jose, my friend Mustafa was in NYC this last several days, unbeknownst to me. He was assisting the National Guard Captain he worked with in Iraq, on an interpreting project.
If I had known of this beforehand I would have had him get in touch with you so that you could show him the sights during his downtime. He did a lot of walking around Time's Square and the rest of Manhattan. He loved it!
Back from a very pleasant long jog to find a message from the helper saying no help today - tomorrow, but, you know, tomorrow's a little too late to get 500 names entered before I do my eBlast for the new Kritzerland title.
I hope this will not be construed as political speech, but I for one am sick of the incorrect and obviously pejorative use by certain Right Wing nutcases of the noun "Democrat" as an adjective. Therefore I have coined my own new term that I would love everyone to start using: RepubliCON.

They've officially canceled the World Series game for tonight and will hold it tomorrow night. It prolly wont start until 9:00 after The Barack Obama Show (with guest stars Tim Conway and Eydie Gorme?)
Also, there were some snowflake flying amongst the rain drops a little while ago here in Philly. My sister told me it was out and out snowing in Doylestown. Uh-oh...

That's not correct, BK, especially since you use PayPal. PayPal makes printing labels quite easy, and you can extract everyone who's paid for a certain item and print their labels just like that. I've done it before.

As I ate my lunch, I watched last night's RAISING THE BAR. I got involved in both cases and enjoyed them. And I enjoyed the "coming out" announcements, especially the last one. The season finale next week should be interesting.

Oh what a night it was — again. Sean and Kevin wowed the crowd last night at the Barnsdall Gallery Theatre with their Los Angeles premiere performance of "Jersey Men." Their energy was high, their voices blended powerfully and the audience — including my ever-lovin' Amy and I — loved it.
Even the post-show pickups that had to be done were a blast. Sean had to redo a portion of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" because of problems with the band, and it was priceless watching BK cut him mid-song and tell him, "Stop, Sean, stop ... our cameraman is in the bathroom!"
Congratulations to the boys, John Randall and the band, director BK and stage manager Adrianna. Can't wait for the DVD!

I guess those movies I saw in middle school and high school did the trick. Anytime the possibility of "partaking" ever came up, I was usually too scared to do so. Plus, I just liked watching everyone get high and stupid. It made it so much easier to hold things over their head that way.

All I know is I won't be watching it. (The Obama Show that is)
Malia Obama does not want her TV interrupted. Not even by her dad, Barack.
That’s what her mother, Michelle Obama, told Jay Leno today when she stopped in for an appearance on NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”
During the segment, Obama explained that 10-year-old Malia grew alarmed when she learned that her father, Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama, plans to air a 30-minute special program on several major television networks Wednesday night.
Obama said Malia asked her father, " 'You're going to be on all the TV? Are you going to interrupt my TV?' "
The Illinois senator assured her that her favorite programs would not be affected.
"He said, 'No, we didn't buy time on Disney and Nick.' And she said, 'Oh, good.' And she got up and walked away. She was just like, 'Don't mess with my TV.' "
We wonder how many Americans feel the same.
...And Becco sometimes does Mushroom Ravioli that has Cocoa in the ravioli dough... Sooooo good (too).

I am actually very curious about how many people will watch. With the constant ads, at least here, and so much politics on the news stations, will people watch a 30 minute commercial?

I'm really trying to watch Iron Man, but this thing is not to my liking at all. After all the incredible reviews I read about this thing, to be confronted with the reality of just another now movie is very disappointing. In fact, I'm finding it excruciating to sit through.
Ok, I have a question for the computer geeks among us. I'm looking at a MSI Wind, one of those mini notebooks. My question is, since it doesn't have a cd or dvd drive, how do you install software?

You will need a USB-enabled portable hard-drive or DVD-drive. However, most of those sub-notebooks come with basic software onboard, and that's what you're supposed to use. They're marketed as an "accessory" and not a "main" portable computer. Additionally, since they're WiFi enabled, you can install software via download.
-Oh, if this makes sense: It's basically like the Mac Airbook.
Didja ever think 10 years ago that you would be carrying a computer around with you?
\Are you sure about Office? I know it comes with XP but I haven't seen anywhere mention Office is installed. It would be perfect for traveling and carrying around.
The bundled software is pretty skimpy: a trial version of Microsoft Office 2007...

i just sat through a 3.5 hour teleconference meeting and now my eyes are all blurry.
MR BK are you familiar with Elmer Bernstein's score for a movie called Where's Jack? Title tune with lyrics by Don Black. One of my favorite Bernstein scores from the 60's.
I have listened to the new KRITZERLAND release of Mr Bernstein's score for the stage play LAURETTE and the cues for the motion picture PRINCE JACK.
If you are interested in this type of music and you don't own this CD - that's unfortunate.
The booklet is informative as well.
My favorite tracks: Laurette Overture and The Waltz....so beautiful. But my favorite track on the ENTIRE CD has to be the Main Title for PRINCE JACK.
As MR BK says in the booklet - it is prime Bernstein. I have never seen the movie, hadn't even heard of it before now....but the music is terrific, and I am glad to own this CD.
I guess I wished I found it entertaining. When he finally gets the suit on and starts flying I perked up a little - that happens seventy minutes into the movie.
