I've never seen any of the earlier episodes. It plays in order on Channel 21 here in the NYC area on Saturdays, although it's off schedule right now due to fundraising. They are in the later episodes but Mr. Humphries is still there at the counter with his gap-toothed smile.

Us early morning folk are a sedate bunch, aren't we? We rarely do the page dances that crop up later in the day.

Speaking of coffee, DR Ben, a friend of mine was once put on a caffeine restriction for a short time by his doctor. At the diner, the waitress was reaching to refill his cup with the leaded variety. As he realized, he reached out to cover the cup with his hand, saying, "No, no, decalf, DECALF!" to which the waitress replied, deadpan and without skipping a beat, "Well, I can see why!"

TOD: Raising several puppies for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, attending the graduation ceremonies, and staying in touch with the individuals who gained independence and mobility through the program.

Yes, leave those page dances to the late sleepers

Gotta go. Robert Wood Johnson is calling my name.

Ben · « **Reply #35 on:** March 08, 2007, 06:36:34 AM »

And I'm here all by myself. I don't want to do a monologue this early in the morning.

Ben · « **Reply #36 on:** March 08, 2007, 06:36:52 AM »

I might scare away potential posters.

Ben · « **Reply #37 on:** March 08, 2007, 06:37:07 AM »

This, DR Singdaw, is known as a frenzy!!!

Ben · « **Reply #38 on:** March 08, 2007, 06:37:37 AM »

As you might have seen from earlier posts, they can sometimes go on for posts and posts and posts without interruption.

Ben · « **Reply #39 on:** March 08, 2007, 06:37:56 AM »

But they make BK happy so who am I to say no.

Ben · « **Reply #40 on:** March 08, 2007, 06:41:09 AM »

FYI for those newcomers who were wondering, each page has 30 posts but they flip to the next page on a 9 count because the very first post of each day is not numbered. It's BKs post introducing the notes. The post after that is Number 1 and then we go to 29 (really 30) and flip to Page 2. Post 59 is the last before Page 3, Post 89 is the last before Page 4 etc., etc., etc., (A King and I reference).

Fred (FJL) is here so I can leave now.

Bye!!!

Did I chase Ben away?

Doesn't Sally ask that of herself in FOLLIES?

I'm 46, that's all I am.

Or is that a crazy-Sally reference?

Speaking of Humphries (albeit spelled differently), John Inman, the actor who played Sales Clerk Mr. Humphries on Are You Being Served? has died.

John Inman

This is sad news, indeed. No one could mince the way that Mr. Inman could mince.

I think he'd take that as a complement.

Thinking about the TOD:

- One "accomplishment" is close to 30 years ago, but having gotten into Harvard Law School seems (rightly or wrongly) to say a lot about me to people who see my resume, so it's an accomplishment that has had a major impact on how people react to me professionally. I happen to know it was all about a quirky facility with standardized tests, and I know what my classmates were like in law school and on average they weren't all that special as human beings

- but that seems to be the accomplishment that others put a lot of stock in.

- getting to work with the ridiculously talented Bruce Kimmel, who was one of the mavericks I admired certainly since my college days, and even before. This is probably an "accomplishment" I got through my association with Skip rather than through my own abilites, but it's been a very happy situation.

- Being in a relationship with Skip for (at this point) over 17 years. That's not a big deal to most people, but in my twenties, i never thought that was in the cards for me.

Good morning DRs Fred and Woody and Matt.....

It is a very pretty early morning in Arizona, and we are having lots of sun, and a high of about 85 today. That is really quite pleasant here, because it doesn't really reach that until 1:30 or 2 in the afternoon. Yes, July and August are usually killer-hot (from 104 to 109 average), but I'd still much rather keeping cool, than shoveling driveways or scraping icy windshields.

I guess I didn't get much of "the Pioneer Stock" from my grandparents from the midwest.

As to the TOD --

I think my proudest accomplishment would be the fact that I was given the chance to have a very active role in the first 3 or 4 years of the life of my nephew. I never thought anyone would catch me changing a diaper or walking back and forth slowly with him in my arms to calm him and let him get sleepy, but we were lucky enough to get to babysit him quite often. To this day, he still has the "guest room" as his own here at the house.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #52 on:** March 08, 2007, 07:27:49 AM »

It's time for me to get ready for work.

Everything is quite pretty outside. The sky is bright blue, the ground is covered with sparkling white stuff. I love this part of the world.

S. Woody White · « **Reply #53 on:** March 08, 2007, 07:29:09 AM »

And, just to push me to post 8900...

Yep, there's definately something satisfying about that.

Dear Esteemed, well-written, and hopefully rested BK --

I was sorry to hear that craft services were so glum back in the 70s, but I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. Even at the General Hospital set, there wasn't the table of goodies like you would see nowadays. We had to grab our own coffee or soda from the cafeteria, and then I'd try to hang out with Lucille Wall because she always brought good stuff from home to her dressing room.

For proudest moment, all I have to say is

Applause, Applause, Applause!

Anytime I do anything meriting a response from an audience ( positive of course) I couldn't be happier, thank goodness.

How many more musical references can a I squeeze into this post?
