I hope Mark was correct about the donation to the church youth program.

Oh yes, it was one of his insurance policies naming the Youth Fund as the beneficery.

Today, Mark, Stan's niece, and I met with the pastor of Stan's church. As usual, when I get nervous I tend to blab on and on. The pastor wanted anticdotes, well, he got them from me. Everything Mark or Joyce said reminded me of another story. The poor pastor. I think his plan for an hour meeting turned it to over two hours.

Of course, Mark also seems to have the flair for the dramatic. As we were finishing up the meeting, Mark dropped the news on the pastor that Stan had left the church $87,000.00 for their youth scholarship program.

That's incredibly generous!

Well, I'm leaving now and am off to Costco.

Until later!

For Stan, it was always about the young people. Stan gave several gifts over the years to the church's youth groups, but he never wanted anyone to talk about it. He didn't do it for the glory.

That is wonderful. I hope they use it wisely.

Back from my afternoon meeting with Shelly Markham and Adryan Russ, who played me some songs from this long musical. The songs are fine. I still have to finish act two - tomorrow. I then stopped at Subway and got something I've never had, a foot-long spicy Eyetalian sandwich, which was really quite tasty (salami and pepperoni). And now I shall go back to writing.

Stan must have felt his previous donations were used wisely to continue to donate. To keep paying on a policy to be used as a gift... again-wow!

On my fourth page now. I think I'll go watch another Smothers Brothers episode, and then do another page or two later.

Hello, everyone.

It sounds like VIXMOM continues to be an inspiration to us all. Good work, Debra!

Bruce amazes me with his writing.

How nice to hear about Stan's bequest. Nice things do still happen.

Vibes to all who've been under the weather in one way or another.

Before I leave-traveling home vibes to DR Singdaw who can't get a train home (I read this on Facebook)

I spent an inordinate amount of time this morning attempting to transfer the utilities out of my name. The gas company told me someone must be present ALL DAY THE DAY AFTER I MOVE to turn off my service. How much sense does that make?? I'll coordinate with the buyers; surely there's a better way to do this!

Jeanne · « **Reply #199 on:** January 09, 2009, 07:25:55 PM »

Matt seems happy as a clam (where did that expression come from??) packing up my basement. He is clearly in his element. I've been leaving the basement to him while I make 101 phone calls and run around, trying to take care of a zillion things.

DR JMK, I am VERY jealous you got MOONLIGHT to review.

Methinks perhaps another trade could be facilitated.....

We must talk!

Well, I did finally finish MATLOCK with much time to spare. I can't say that those remaining three episodes were all that wonderful. The season finale was especially disappointing with a very weak mystery concerning an heiress. Good guest stars: Mason Adams, Alan Oppenheimer, Brian Benben.

I'm hoping the roads are cleared in the morning. I really want to get my car serviced. I've already rescheduled once and don't want to have to do it again.

Matt H. · « **Reply #205 on:** January 09, 2009, 07:41:21 PM »

I noticed that the DVR had recorded the next episode of THE STARTER WIFE from Universal-HD, but I decided to save it for the weekend.

Matt H. · « **Reply #206 on:** January 09, 2009, 07:43:09 PM »

Instead I watched another NCIS episode. What a surprise to see the gorgeous Connor Trinneer from ENTERPRISE playing a drug courier who kidnaps the NCIS director becuase NCIS has his little brother in custody (where he promptly falls down dead.) Good episode, and Connor is always fun to look at.

HBO-HD was showing GLADIATOR in high definition, but they had reformatted it to 1.78:1, so I didn't watch for an extended period. I'd rather watch my regular DVD upconverted. At least it's in the proper aspect ratio.

I am also NOT going to work in the basement this weekend. I want to work at the office for a while and go to a movie or two. IIalso need to exercise. I've been slacking off on my diet and exercise the past few days and I think I actually gained a little weight over the past week. The new result was still losing since Dec 18, but I need to get back on track. It's hard to do when I'm this busy at the office, but I just need to figure it out.

Matt H. · « **Reply #209 on:** January 09, 2009, 07:46:47 PM »

Next, I watched tonight's GHOST WHISPERER. These folks are kind of clueless because I figured out the entire family mess within the first ten minutes of the show. Sure, I was still weeping by the end, but they took A LONG TIME to finally arrive at what I felt was the obvious truth.

And the show did finally give Camryn Mannheim something to do.
