Well, no one can say we didn't get to page nine.

I'm sneezing, I'm coughing, and it's like someone is slashing my throat with a razor blade.

...On the bright side, that's usually the sign that the "crud" is creeping its way out.

Topic of the Day: my parents had a pong game, but I don't think it was an Atari brand. The first computer that I ever had was a Texas Instruments 99/4A and the first game that I got for it was Parsec. I don't remember much about it, but I remember that I liked it.

As for arcade games, Andrew, my best friend in high school, and I would play Jungle Hunt. Unlike most games, your character travels from right to left across the screen instead of left to right. Basically, you just jump over obstacles and swing on vines to get to the end. I don't remember what happens at the end...it's been more than 20 years since I've played it.

Oh! -Back to the Topic of the Day for a post or two...

Q*Bert!

-And whatever that space-ship, fighter game was called... the one that mainly composed of white lines (vector graphics?) on a dark-gray/black background.

Hmm....

Can't someone post an image from Frogger?

Can't you? Or did Mr. Bakalor not fix that for you yet?

PLAY MITZI FOR ME

Photos of Mitzi Gaynor backstage at the revival of South Pacific. (Did I miss these being linked here?)

Good grief, how much did PBS have to pay Broadway World to publish 48 photos of Mitzi Gaynor?

So, tomorrow, after Mass, it looks like we may be heading down to Williamsburg for the day, or I may just end up showing my parents (and my aunt and uncle and their son)

Wouldn't that make him your cousin?

Lovely Frogger pix, although none of them looks exactly the way I remember it.

Oh... Not really. It's the whole Filipino thing where if the mothers become good friends, then the families become "related". There's no blood involved so to speak. However, my "uncle" is my godfather, and was also my doctor when I was in high school.

Well, I have returned from the dinner, 40 years in the making, known as our high school reunion. Several people told me that they had a lot more fun at my party last night. I know I did.

BroadwayWorld.com has a habit of publishing "too many" pictures in their "Photo Op" features. It's almost like they just upload all the pictures from the memory card in order to get them up ASAP.

I think that if Mitzi had been given photo approval, several of those shots would have disappeared.

I think whatever the illness is that has been affecting Dear Readers this week; it must be a computer virus, because now I am beginning to feel sick.
