I'm relieved to know Bruce isn't sitting on the plane.  Do you know where the pilot is?  

He heard BK was a passenger and was gaining courage at the bar :)

Well, I feel somewhat guilty with so many people having the vapors over Bruce's departure and arrival times, and I was sitting in my den oblivious to it all watching some marvelous things.

Can we just say his plane is running later than originally scheduled?

I began my evening watching one of my favorite Norma Shearer movies - A FREE SOUL. Of course, Lionel Barrymore won the Oscar for this, but I think it's Shearer's movie, and she DOES have solo star billing.

Clark Gable plays a racketeer in this, and he's GREAT playing bad, rough guys. When he became a star, he began to plays rascals, but here he's really rough, and he's electric.

I had about 50 minutes before the start of THE WIZARD OF OZ on TNT-HD, so I put in the season 1 episode of THE CLOSER that introduced Bill Croelick (Jason O'Mara). Such a mesmerizing performance, and the two of them together are just terrific. In their first interrogation scene when she shakes hands with him and they stare into each other's eyes, WOW!

hope he can at least sleep a while on the plane.

A plane full of parents with cranky kids who have been waiting in the airport for 8 hours or so? I'm sure the flight will be restful for all.

I watched THE WIZARD OF OZ in HD on TNT-HD, the first time I've watched it on commercial TV in decades. The HD was variable. In some scenes, it really popped. In others, there wasn't much different from seeing it upconverted from sDVD on my equipment. The poppy field and the Haunted Forest sequences were really impressive in HD. And Margaret Hamilton's close-ups were VERY impressive in HD, that green makeup really standing out.

I had to laugh out loud a couple of times during WIZARD when a crawler would come on the bottom of the screen advertising THE CLOSER. Kyra appears on the screen, reaches in her famous black purse and pulls out a cookie and eats it. Terrific!

With a flight to LGA booked for one month from today for Richard and myself, all of BK's difficulties are making me very nervous.

You should have little difficulty getting there.
Getting back is another story ;D

And then I watched tonight's premiere of MAD MEN. Not the most mesmerizing episode certainly, but good getting everyone back in the game. Surprised Don's wife did what she did. This is a women REALLY in need of therapy. If she's still going to the doctor she was seeing in season one (and I doubt it since she found out what he was doing), it's not working. This is a woman with SERIOUS problems.

My cable company does not have AMC-HD, but there is in the On-Demand section, a free section of HD On-Demand, and the entirety of MAD MEN season one is there in HD. If tonight's episode shows up there within the next week or two, I'll stop watching the regular broadcast and wait for the HD versions in On-Demand. I enjoy them so much more in HD. I've really gotten spoiled.

When he gets home?  I suspect he's already there.

Not unless he changed planes in  mid air - Jet Blue #355 ETA has slipped to 11:57

OK...

I know now who "The Next Food Network Star" is... And I still don't care.

And I also watched the season premiere of "Mad Men"... A good episode.  Not a great one, but as DR MattH mentioned, a good re-introduction to everyone.  Well, almost everyone.  ;)

I guess some of us were having our own Personal Slow News Day/Night.  ;)

*And, trust me, I did not have any vapors over bk's departure and arrival times.  However, if I had known someone on the same flight with him, well, that would have been a different story.  :P

A good thing for women to remember when using public restrooms.  Never put your purse down on the stall floor, but always hold on to it, or hang it on a hook.  The germs that the bottom of your purse picks up from a restroom floor is more terrifying than you can imagine.  Take it from someone who has experienced MRSA first hand; you do not want to carry those germs out of the bathroom on the bottom of your purse.


What about shoes?

I remember when I got my last cellphone, the salesperson's first and main reason for buying the cellphone insurance was "just in case you drop it in the toilet or urinal".  I guess that happens a lot.  Thankfully, not to me.

I'm on my third cell phone and have never had any kind of replacement insurance.  So far, I've never needed it.  I keep it in the fob pocket of my jeans, so it's protected.  My friend Margo, however...she (and/or her children) have ruined so many phones that I've lost count.  She's lost a couple, she's dropped a couple, she even dropped one in the toilet.  She just has not been able to keep a phone for very long.

By the time that plane takes off, it will be 6:00 pm.  I don't think a plane can make to Burbank in an hour and 17 minutes.  Can it?

A few weeks ago, I read an article about a plane that's being developed (YEARS down the road) that will be able to travel at 10,000 miles per hour!  No, really!  That means that it could fly across the country in 20 minutes!  Imagine that!

And, remember my co-worker who broke her leg last weekend?  She's coming back tomorrow, too, in a cast that sounds a lot like DR Kerry's.  I figured if she can do it, so can I.  By the way, she broke her leg getting off a Segway.

Today, we saw someone at the Seattle Center riding around on a Segway...inside buildings and outside.  It was the first time that I had ever seen one live.  I've seen them on TV and on-line, but in person.  It was pretty cool!
