Well, you've read the notes, the notes were long and occasionally winding, and now it is time for you to post until the long and winding cows come home.

Morning all. I'm about to start another difficult day at the office. At least Anthony is having a good time in Wisconsin (even if it's raining according to his weather report).

Re people taking a while to get back to an email:

Has anyone else been noticing long delays in delivering emails on some servers? Sometimes we've been getting, for example, an email sent at 11 a.m. immediately and then a 9:30 a.m. email from the same person appears in the in box several hours or even a day later.

Sometimes if you're surprised than a crucial email has not gotten a response, it could pay to follow up with a phone call.

Post Number 3?

Here's an idea:

Since more people "vote" on the reality television shows like American Idol and/or Dancing With the Stars than in any general election, why don't we just have McCain and Palin challenge Obama and Biden to a singing and dancing contest and let America decide?

Or maybe that's already happening...

Singdaw, I recognize some of those matchbooks. Some of those places are still in business here. Sugar Bowl, for example, is where our family celebrates all our family millstones. And House of Pancakes is where MusicGuy and I meet sometimes.

singdaw · « **Reply #10 on:** September 09, 2008, 05:38:08 AM »

I thought you could never show your face there again because DR MusicGuy stood up and yelled, "UNDERPANTS!"

After I looked up today's WOD, I had this distinctive voice running in my head, saying/singing: "Selling matches in the snow..."

It took me a while, but I finally placed it: "Who Taught Her Everything She Knows?" from Funny Girl!

And don't forget today's new DVD release:

The Sugar Bowl is also the meeting place for the Gang in Arthur, one of DR Sandra's favorite shows.

Tuesday morning greetings! Rainy here in SW Ohio, but it's supposed to clear up by lunchtime. I hope so, because a co-worker and I are walking over the the Dayton Racquet Club to have lunch with the philanthropists.

Catching up on last night's posts:

Congratulations to new parents, DRs Jed and Ann! Baby Tobias will be in our prayers here in Ohio, too.

Health vibes for Tobias' cyber-grandpa, DR TCB!

DR MattH, thanks for the info about the new shows. My sister got the new issue of EW (apparently there were 3 different Gossip Girl covers). So i saw that.

Also apparently there is no more tv guide in canada. So i can't look at those. Hopefully similar content is on the web.

Tonight there are 3 new shows i am interested in sampling.

1. 90210 (that started last week and i liked)

2. fringe which i was not planning on trying, but maybe it will be good.

and 3. the CW's priviledged.

Also Big Brother has moved to 8pm (at least on the east coast).

Good morning!

It's overcast here and is supposed to rain off and on all day, but so far nothing, and the cloud cover has not cooled things down much.

I'm ready for fall!

Matt H. · « **Reply #21 on:** September 09, 2008, 07:29:15 AM »

I am very much looking forward to sampling FRINGE tonight. Since its creator also got ALIAS and LOST started on their long TV journeys, I'm anxious to see what he serves up next. It has gotten very positive reviews.

Also on tonight: THE SHIELD

Matt H. · « **Reply #22 on:** September 09, 2008, 07:30:44 AM »

I'll be working on Criterion's THE EARRINGS OF MADAME DE.... today. Looking forward to it. Even though GREY'S ANATOMY on Blu-ray is likely to arrive today or tomorrow, I'm going to do at least three film sets before diving back into any more TV box sets.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #23 on:** September 09, 2008, 07:32:03 AM »

Good Morning!

I'm up, I'm up... And I guess I needed to catch up on my sleep. Ahhh...

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #24 on:** September 09, 2008, 07:36:15 AM »

DR FJL - Yes, there do seem to be some hiccups from time to time in regards to e-mails and servers. I've always noticed a "regular" lag time anytime anyone sends me email from a Yahoo! account. Sometimes it's a few minutes, sometimes it's a few hours. -But then if they send it from another email account, it will be in my email-box almost instantaneously.

*I've also noticed that emails sent during overnight hours tend to get delayed due to normal site maintenance as well as the "traffic" from businesses and organizations.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #25 on:** September 09, 2008, 07:39:35 AM »

Hmm... They're saying we're supposed to get some storms here today... With some possible flooding in the area too.

~~~~~STAY DRY VIBES TO THE THOSE DRS IN THE NYC AREA~~~~~

As for the Topic of the Day...

-Whatever happens to be on the table or in the snack "basket" next to the refrigerator.

Otherwise, lately, I've been keeping a container of a Trail Mix blend from Fairway in the cupboards all the time. It contains almonds, cashew, pistachios, walnuts, dried cranberries and raisins. Good stuff! -And it's also a good topping for oatmeal.

I'm beginning to think that if any DR's with even a trace of a chin or chins are going to functions where their photos will be taken, they should budget into their costs air/train travel and accommodations for Jose; I totally could not implement the rules of having my pictures taken and at least in the photos I've seen so far look even more like Jabba the Hut than I seem to in person. The cousin that I sent Jose's write-up to looked radiant in person and photos so far, by the way.

My snack of choice latey has been either almonds or deluxe mixed nuts.
