Don't bother to check MR BK. For some reason I thought I had it already. I am sure it will be here tomorrow.

Today is the 67th birthday of someone who made a lot of us smile.

A Top Ten recording artist, a television star, and a movie icon.

Happy Birthday, Miss Annette Funicello.

Last night the FOX HD feed froze during the last six minutes of SYTYCD, and again during the last five minutes of GLEE. Finished watching both on the regular digital channels.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Thank you one and all for the birthday wishes! I wish I could stay and make more of this occasional stop - but I have a looming Ancient Epics midterm that I should study for. Somehow I don't think writing "It's my birthday" on the test and handing it in would fly.

Ancient epics? Reading DR TCB's diaries again?

Does anyone still use.....a.....typewriter?

Or even own one?

Do you suppose there's any truth to the rumor that TCB was the inspiration for the character Telemachus, son of Odysseus, in "The Odyssey"?

My second ticket to the opening night party arrived in an email today. I don't know whom to thank but I'm suspected Rob Berman. Also, Rob emailed "Larry and Joshie" that the new finale intro will work fine "once the violas and celli learn to count." He is one of the best.

Other news: DR Ginny phoned me. She and Richard are in their 5th floor walkup, waiting on their landlady, and hoping for a wireless connection. I am here waiting for Mr Ron Raines to drop off a CD and for Mr Richard Norton to come by and collect one. I need to vacuum the place before I take care of a "burn a CD" request from Jason Graae.

I thought he was the inspiration for Odysseus' old nurse who recognizes him by the scar on his leg!

AS THE WORLD TURNS is having an epic moment today: the kidnapped Katie is delivering her baby with her trousers on! I understand concerns about nudity, but i'm puzzled by the disregard for the laws of nature.

Laws of nature to NOT apply to television.

DR GINNY and DH RICHARD have a great time in NYC and take lots of pictures! And remember if DH RICHARD appears onstage on Broadway again during this visit, he will qualify for his Equity card.

Ginny · « **Reply #137 on:** October 22, 2009, 11:46:50 AM »

Thursday afteroon greetings from NYC! Yes, we had some "issues" connecting to the internet, but the nice Time-Warner phone help guy, Richard, and Courtney (our landlady) finally determined that there was a typo in the instructions. Wonder if that same guy could fix the elevator. Actually, Courtney told us that the elevator works fine, but the inspector wants to have another look at it. Arrgh, bureaucracy!

We had a smooth flight, with one of the most beautiful approaches to LGA ever - right over Manhattan, south to north. Now, we're getting settled and will soon venture out to visit the Finain's Rainbow and Royal Family box offices to pick up our tickets.

Anybody up for dinner tonight?

Ginny · « **Reply #138 on:** October 22, 2009, 11:53:29 AM »

DR JRand -

DAW · « **Reply #139 on:** October 22, 2009, 12:00:04 PM »

Glad you arrived safely, DR Ginny!!

I'm not sure I can make it in to join you on Saturday evening, but just in case: what time were you thinking of gathering for dinner?

Ginny · « **Reply #140 on:** October 22, 2009, 12:03:10 PM »

OK, our afternoon/early evening is shaping up thusly:

Unpack

Royal Family box office

Finian's Rainbow box office

Starbuck's - I'm really caffeine-deprived

Evening Prayer at St. Mary of the Virgin at 6pm (46th St. bet. 6th & 7th)

We should be finished there about 6:30 or 6:45 and will be interested in dinner afterwards. Anyone who can join us, call or text me - I won't have my computer.

I'll stay connected here until we leave the apartment.

Thanks, DR DAW! I imagine it'll be an early dinner since we and the Vixwomen are seeing the FR matinee and they will have to drive back to the Island of Long.
