Steve and I had a good time at "The Martha Stewart Show".  Alas, no big audience giveaways today, but lots of good cooking - and lots of good smells wafting through the studio.  Alas, no samples were given out to the audience.  However, from where we were sitting we had a great view of the kitchen area, and it was fun watching the staff's reactions while the show was going on.  Alas, because of where we were sitting, we did not get on camera.  But, again, we had a good time at the show.

Otherwise, we went here, we went there.  We even went to the IKEA in Paramus.  -And I ended up getting instructed by a kind policeman on how to get to the proper level of the George Washington Bridge when driving back into NYC.  Oops!  *But, I swear, the signage is wrong and/or misleading.

Tomorrow will be a sleep-in day, and then a "putting the shelves" together afternoon, followed by an evening seeing Mary Poppins.  :)

In the meantime, it's time to veg out for a bit and rest our feet - lots of walking.

Why does Norton Antivirus 2007 already have 12 updates when it is only February

Because they can. ::)

. I had never heard of SMA until 5 years ago, when we found out that Quinn had it, but this is a disease I think everyone should know about:

SMA is the #1 genetic cause of infant death.
SMA is carried by 1 in every 40 people, or 7 million potental parents.
(Quinn's parents were both carriers but weren't tested for this.)
SMA affects 1 in every 6,000 births.
SMA causes dramatic loss of strength and in the worst cases, the loss of ability to swallow and breathe. The mind remains unaffected, while the muscles waste away.

I'm looking forward to the event---it keeps growing every year!

Thanks so much!
 

DR Edi -- I was very touched by your picture of Quinn & Kona, and surprised by the similarity of SMA to a disease that my neice has.  It is called A-T , and is an abbreviation for Ataxia-telangexstasia (sp?) . The effects are very similar....my neice Emily is coming up to 13, and is in a wheelchair most of the time.  Body very weakened and affected, and a very sharp and loving mind.

I have heard of that but didn't know much about it. Yes, they do sound similar as far as how the body is affected.

Here's a happy story, though. After finding out that both of Quinn's parents carried the SMA gene, they were afraid to have another child. Through the miracles of science, they were able to use invitrofertilization on eggs that were tested beforehand that were SMA free. This is a very painful process and they underwent it 3 times. They were down to their last frozen egg but didn't give up. Here she is: a healthy, beautiful little girl named Sydney with her parents!

I was able to view the very sweet photo of Quinn and Mocha.  I’m glad I returned to the page.  Sometimes that happens, the photo isn’t there for awhile and then it appears.

You guys are so kind!

I have to post one more picture of little Sydney, because you can see how happy her parents are to have her. Her mom is an editor that I've known since she was a college student and interned with me. She now works at Turner. Her father was an editor that used to assist me down in Jacksonville and I brought him up to Atlanta. Now he's a children's book writer ("The Monster Who Ate My Peas"). After finding him a place to live and a job, I introduced him to his future wife. The rest is history, but that's why Quinn is my godson. I have tried over the years to fix up my friends and this is one only one that took, so I'm quitting while I'm ahead!

The story and photo are wonderful!  You also answered the questions I hesitated to ask thinking they might be rude. ;D

I went to a very interesting restaurant tonight. It is new here. But i believe they have others in other cities.  It's called Madison's NY grill and bar. ANd at least here it is really nice and fairly unscale. I had the ribs and they were fantastic.  I went with my uncle and he had roast beef (which he said was fantastic).

They had a really fancy bathroom. And it had this really bizarre turbo hand drier. It was the freakiest thing i've ever seen. Someone was drying their hands while i was at the sink. And it practically blew me away. It was strong!

If you click on the right side of the page where it says:
Purchase tickets and make donations to SMAtlanta's SMAsquerade online using Click & Pledge

Click & Pledge should be a blue link that will open up a separate window for charge information. I tried it on Safari and I.E. and it seems to work, but if you have any problems let me know and if all else fails, Tonya's address, listed a few posts ago, is a place where you can donate by check.

Thank you for helping---this is awesome!

I love cottage cheese---but it has to be the whipped kind!

I didn't know what kind of cheese was in the blintz, but cottage cheese is as close as I could get to describing it. It's actually sweeter and creamier, pretty yummy!
