I'm having dinner with Ann Miner and a few others on friday, by the way. BK, do you want to just wait until then and I'll ask her if there's some reason for the delay in getting the story on ATC; it seems they do a nice occasional rundown of BC/EFA events every now and then, so maybe they're saving it for that.

It's also very possible that someone had posted a link to one of the articles back on Oct 1, and therefore they held the press release?

I just had a weird thing happen. My optical mouse quit working, so I swapped it for the mouse on Richard's iMac. After a while, I switched back and mine is working fine now.

Ah, well, it's a mystery. Time to sleep - 'night!

...And now I'm heading back to my parents' house where I plan to take a warm shower, brush my teeth, and go right to bed. I know that if I turn on my computer that I'll end up staying up much too late... Again.

So... Once again, thanks for all the Vibes and Prayers for my Mom (and me too).

See you in the morning.

Goodnight.

Something strange is happening with my FACEBOOK page. Each time I check it there are things added that I did not add...such as things like "Michael favorited the Airlines Association" and "Michael favorited the dune buggy club" and "Here are Michael's 5 favorite Youtube clips."

What is tarnation is happening?

Yep, I'll be thinking about your mom tomorrow, DR Jose. Godspeed.

I had a completely fun evening of viewing. I began by watching last night's edition of DEXTER. Such a good season. Jimmy Smits and Michael Hall are a charismatic team to be sure. Can't wait to see how all this "friendship" develops.

Matt H. · « **Reply #223 on:** October 13, 2008, 08:17:04 PM »

Next, I watched MAD MEN from last night. I couldn't stand those "Jet Set" people, but seeing Dick Whitman emerge again was very interesting. And loved the openly gay Russian. Poor Peggy. And poor Sal!

I had about 40 minutes before I wanted to start watching CHUCK on the DVR, so I put in the SWEENEY TODD DVD and watched it from the beginning. Got to the murder of Perrilli before turning it off. Always enjoyable.

I see Paramount is issuing the Blu-ray this month, but it'll likely be on my CHristmas list since I already have the very nice looking 2-disc DVD set.

Matt H. · « **Reply #225 on:** October 13, 2008, 08:21:19 PM »

CHUCK was an enjoyable show. I have liked every episode that Bryce has ever been connected with, but I have to say the on again/off again stuff with Chuck and his girl are getting tiresome now. And the subplot with the jocks vs. the nerds ended exactly as I expected it to.

So, the spy stuff was all good, but the rest of it tried my patience a little bit.

Matt H. · « **Reply #226 on:** October 13, 2008, 08:22:26 PM »

Once again, HEROES is continuing to become clearer and clearer as to the story it's telling this first half of the season. Really enjoying the show now even though its ratings are the lowest in its history.

Many excellent vibes and xylophones to Jose.

If SLEEPING BEAUTY doesn't arrive tomorrow, I guess I'll be working on Costa-Gavras' MISSING on the new Criterion disc. I haven't seen the movie since its initial release, so I'm looking forward to seeing it again.

Heading down a bit earlier than usual to get ready for bed.

Good night!

A little bit of Carole Lombard goes a long way with me, and an entire evening of her movies is just too much. She was a talented comedienne and completely unique - but sometimes her material let her down....and when that happened....whew!

Jrand73 · « **Reply #232 on:** October 13, 2008, 09:04:38 PM »

I shall have to check out the L/L book that DR CILLA LIZ is talking about. I have read a few books on the case - and it is indeed most interesting.

Jrand73 · « **Reply #233 on:** October 13, 2008, 09:06:38 PM »

Neal Hefti of course did the BATMAN television theme - and wrote a nice score for the Carroll Baker version of HARLOW......some of the cues are a bit clunky .... since the movie wrapped in mid May and was thrown into theatres by June 15......

Well, my Mom's doctor just came and left. He explained how things will work tomorrow, and also asked a few more questions and answer a couple too. Alas, I ended up finding out that my mom was first advised to have this procedure a little over ten years ago, but her current doctor did assure her (and me) that her interim actions were OK too. -She got second and third opinions back then.

I do have to say that it's a little unsettling knowing that the doctors will sort of have to play it by ear during tomorrow's procedures since they won't really know what they're dealing with until the procedure is under way. She will be prepped starting at 5:00am, and then she'll move to the ER at 7:00am. Due to the nature of the surgery, there's nothing that "we" can do during that time. They will check in with my Dad at 1:00. So, I will probably just sleep in tomorrow morning and then head over around Noon.

~~~Super Vibes for DR Jose's Mother!!~~~

Well, today we had our library's All Staff Training Day, where all the branches are closed and everyone gets together for learning sessions and speeches and a paid lunch. It was pretty fun. Also, I got my 20 years of service award(s).

Everyone who reaches a five-year-increment gets a certificate and a hand-made wooden box. Here a picture of the top of the box that I got:

The boxes for the people who've only reached a five- or ten-year level are smaller.

Here's the inside of mine:
