Bruce - From the Mayfair Hotel website at www.mayfairnewyork.com

The guestrooms evoke a European style intimacy featuring custom designed mahogany furniture, freshly cut flowers and the finest and most comfortable bedding available. All rooms are equipped with complimentary wall safes, cable television and two line phones with computer capability.

And also this:

Guests receive the attentive, highly personalized service that is usually only found in an exclusive private club. The Mayfair's charming European-style rooms feature toile wallpaper, custom-designed furniture, and top-quality linens. Many rooms also feature state-of-the-art LCD TVs mounted flush with the walls and marble baths.

Didn't make it to visit my folks today, although I did get to see them for a little while last night before joining Tom, Colin and Larry.

Well, it sounds like you will have a great deal to atone for.

Good afternoon Esteemed and almopst-ready-to-travel BK --

Good wishes and vibes for a safe flight are sent your way. I hope that the airport security hassles have calmed down a little more by now. When I last flew (the 21st of August) it was an overseas flight to the UK, and security was absolute ca-ca !

Really enjoyed watching FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE again. For mono sound on that DVD release, it's very robust.

Next I put in the GREY'S ANATOMY Season 2 set. I watched the season premiere episode (which I had seen before), and then the second episode started, and I realized I hadn't seen it. ABC jumped around all summer showing episodes out of order from both seasons, and this was one they never repeated this summer (when I started watching the show), so I'll look forward to watching it when I start back up with TV tonight. There's nothing on TV I particularly want to watch, so I'll be DVDing it tonight.

I thought that was the "European style intimacy" they were referring to on their list of a-men-ities.

I'm HDTV shopping again!

No, not for me. My friend Jeff gave me the go-ahead to find a TV for him. His parents are giving it to him for Christmas, and they want him to get it now since they'll be visiting in a couple of weeks, and Jeff wants to have the TV ready for them to watch when they arrive.

I have the dimensions and the money restrictions, and after careful searching this morning, I found what we're going to look at. I'm pretty sure it will suit his needs perfectly.

DR Matt---I have the sense that you are a TV connoisseur. Do you every watch "The Closer"? (I work on it, but don't be afraid to say if you hate it!)

I think it's safe to say that most DRs on this site who watch it are very big fans of THE CLOSER!

DearReaderLaura, how close are you able to get to the animals, or do you have a powerful telescope lens??

DearReaderLaura · « **Reply #142 on:** September 23, 2006, 03:42:41 PM »

George, I just have a small Sony digital that fits in my pocket. I just get lucky. The dragonflies and damselflies are so small that most of the time my camera doesn't even focus on them.

I was about 15 feet away from the rattlesnake. A foot or so from the butterflies.

I called the Mayfair and apparently they have high speed Internet, so that's good.

If you do a search on the site, you'll see I'm a HUGE fan of THE CLOSER. Absolutely adore it; have watched the first season DVD set through three times in addition to seeing the show on TNT in high definition. A superb show, as good as anything that is currently being broadcast.

I got a package in the mail today, all the way from Paris, France - where the ladies wear no..... Oh, never mind.

Thank you, François, you have managed to rekindle a very special memory of my childhood and of my Mother.

I'm off now to read more about Eileen Heckart and then back to GREY'S ANATOMY.

DE Laura, I do love your photos. It takes more than luck to get shots like that. You are an excellent photographer
