I did, but she doesn't seem to remember either you or Keith.  She did sort of remember PennyO, though.  It took her only twenty seconds to realize it was me calling.  She's still very close with Patsy Moss, and when next I'm in NY we're all going to have dinner.  She sounded great.


Did you remind her I lived down the street from Patsy?

I’m more surprised she doesn’t remember Keith as they were closer.  He even visited her when she was at Berkley.

The door guy has been here most the day.  I had no idea it would take so long to install.  The old door leaked and didn’t have very good insulation around it.  I’m looking forward to a warm dry entrance way.

I wanted an extra wide door this time, easy to do since we had side panels which are now smaller.  It is beautiful, the door I always wanted. :D

I have the feeling that she's shut out a lot of that part of her life, somehow.

Welcome JCollinsNYC - come on in, the water's fine.

Speaking of water - it's really pouring here in the City of Studio.  The streets are all now officially flooded.

Kevin will be by tomorrow, so if you'd like a signed copy let me know immediately, even if you've already let me know, let me know again.  I can't promise how many he'll sign or if he'll have time to sign any, but I'll do my best.  Those copies, of course, will arrive sans shrink wrap.  Send signed requests to:

After unloading the ten boxes of Kev's CDs, I closed the garage and went to hurry into the house.  The ground was so wet and slippery that I fell directly on my ass.  Trying to break the fall, I hurt my hand and arm, which are now quite sore, as are the muscles in my leg.

Lovely story DRMARIA....and sweet picture.

VIBES for Friday for DRGINNY.  Actually this is a good week for such things, and everyone's social life should be great as well....if that's what they want!

Just took the JEOPARDY online test.  Don't think I have to worry about making a trip to Californy anytime soon.

Reading the illustrated version of A NIGHT TO REMEMBER released in 1976, intriguing pictures.

Yes, JMK has left the room - have no idea why or whether he'll return.  Oh, well.

And yes, I went boom just like Jonathan Goldman in Rewind.

Soon Miss Tammy Minoff will arrive and then we'll go get some takeout food and eat whilst watching No Way To Treat A Lady.

Let us not slow down our pace here at haineshisway.com, posting-wise.  We are VERY close to breaking an all-time record, and I think that would be a lovely thing to do, don't you?

Not to late - Kev's not picking them up until Thursday and will sign them then.  It does mean that those copies won't ship until after that, though.

Oh, let's not let the day be dreary - we got us a record to break, for heaven's sake.

Tammy is very late - I imagine the traffic is horrendous.  She's thinking we might have Popeye's Fried Chicken which, of course, is fine by me.

I'm off now.  I have to pick up my mom the airport.  She went to Mexico to have dental work done!!  Both my parents are retired and they don't have dental insurance, so even after the flight and hotel, she's saving over $400 (she had to get a crown) by having it done in Mexico.  A friend of hers goes to this one dentist down there and then has her local dentist check things out.  He said that the guy in Mexico does great work, so my mom went down with her friend.  Who knew?? :)

I just made some oatmeal raisin cookies and now I remember why I don't bake very often.  I tend to eat dough.  Yes I confess and I think I have now eaten enough oats that I shouldn't need oatmeal for the rest of the week

Sometimes that is the best way to eat cookies

Today all the things that were a total mess for the last couple weeks sort of fell into place. AND I didn't have to bring work home tonight. That makes me very happy

I just had a long conversation with our site host - the reason this site gets nutty at times is because we've simply outgrown the plan we're on.  He said we have to delete topics and posts - I suggested that we go to a bigger plan and so we're looking into that.  If we're on a server with much more space, everything should work more smoothly without having to delete things.

Well, I guess that is what happens when your site gets close to being the most popular site on all of the internet.

Had an interesting night with videos and TV. I started out with another ANGEL episode in which his son was being born as the show faded to black. An OK episode, but the entire second disc of the set was leading up to the birth, so I'm rather glad it's now happening so things can move forward.
