Hope your sore throat goes away and your voice comes back quickly, DR Matthew.

DITTO!

[Jane]

Congratulations DR Ginny!

[Jane]

I am having a lovely time.  My poor DH, in the meantime, is working at the convention from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM each day.  I told him he'd darn well better take "comp" vacation time when he gets home!

Later this afternoon I will go over and visit him, bearing hot chocolate and peanut butter cookies.

Yum!  Do you eat dinner together?  The few times I joined Keith on work trips he was able to spend most evenings with me, or I was permitted to tag along to a nice dinner.  Usually he left me at home while he traveled.

DR DAW - I know you're not in Montreal, but... Any poutine?

[Jane]

I guess he's a pilot. 

Well I hope he doesn't drink and drive!

You and your friends were sure nice to try to help him out.

Thanks, DR DAW.  -And since I remembered his name and where he lived, I was able to track down his home phone number via Google.  I just left a follow-up message of sorts for him. Hopefully, that was (also) the right thing to do.

I hope all is well and that he will contact you.

I'm just hoping I didn't get him into some sort of trouble.  As the cab was pulling away, I realized that we should have probably checked his other pockets to see if he had a hotel key on him.   -And I'm really hoping I didn't freak out his friend who I called at 2:00 in the morning.

Don't worry about it, DR Jose. You did the right thing. Anyone lying on the sidewalk at 2 am needs elp.

[Jrand74]

Yes DR JOSE - you did the right thing.  If your group hadn't stopped to help him, he wouldn't still have his wallet.

[Jrand74]

DR DAW - I think the Hockey Hall of Fame is in Toronto as well.

[Jrand74]

Donfeld did some nice clothes for the ladies in RETURN TO PEYTON PLACE!

[JMK]

Someone forgot to spellcheck the segment titles on the Hitchcock documentary on the new NORTH BY NORTHWEST BD.

[Edisaurus]

Good vibes to DR Ben for The Procedure. Having experienced that this year I can say that the worst is behind you! :-)

[DAW]

Any poutine?

Thank you!  Hadn't occurred to me at all until you just mentioned it.

[Edisaurus]

I love Toronto; what a wonderful city. Have fun, DR Singdaw! Check out Casa Loma!

[DAW]

Check out Casa Loma!

Definitely worth a visit!  We were there on our last visit to Toronto.

[DAW]

I think the Hockey Hall of Fame is in Toronto as well.

It definitely is; went by it on the bus yesterday!

[Edisaurus]

I am getting together with a few people who lived thru the Mercer debacle to watch the show tonight. It has been through so many changes since i left that it will be interesting to see the end result.

The original producers are cooking dinner. Can't help but think how great a film it would have been if they had been allowed to produce it. Some heavy drinking may ensue.

[DAW]

Do you eat dinner together? 

Last night we did.  Tonight it will be more difficult since the convention and the exhibits have opened, but I guess he'll have to have a dinner break at some point!

[DAW]

DR Edisaurus - my condolences to you and to all of your former colleagues...         

[DAW]

DR JMK - can you "edit" typos in your reviews once they have been posted?

Don't worry about it, DR Jose. You did the right thing. Anyone lying on the sidewalk at 2 am needs elp.

DITTO! DR Elmo's correct -- anyone lying face down on a city sidewalk am (or pm) is a red flag and I would only hope that should I or a friend or a family member ever suffer the same fate, that a Jose-hearted person would be around to care enough to check the situation out. You most definitely did it by the book, Jose, and should feel good that you did the right thing. 

[Jrand74]

Yes I am planning to watch the Mercer Documentary this evening......

[Ron Pulliam]

Mercer, Mercer me,
Things ain't wot they need to be

[Miss Karen]

Yes DR JOSE - you did the right thing.  If your group hadn't stopped to help him, he wouldn't still have his wallet.

Or possibly his life -- had no one checked on him or the wrong people had found him vulnerable ... there are any number of major or minor medical reasons that could have made him drop (even a simple faint could lead to a head injury on a sidewalk) and even a drunk shouldn't be held in contempt and ignored (which sounds like what some of the folks just walking by may have been thinking) -- many stories out there about folks that have died from alcohol poisoning because folks just left them to "sleep" it off. If it is medically-related or alcohol-related, maybe it's a good thing his friend or family literally got the wake-up call, Jose. Awareness is a first step to prevention, so maybe they can try to help make sure he doesn't end up in the same situation again.

Had a good time watching a bunch of ZORRO episodes this afternoon. Mary Wickes even turned up in some.

The quality of the video really is surprisingly good. Apart from a couple of minor problems, they look really wonderful, very sharp and clear.

[Jrand74]

Mary Wickes was in the ANNETTE serial as well.

I have been feeling a little off for the past 2 days. No real symptoms except feeling really tired.

I drove by the closest H1N1 clinic today since they are supposed to open tomorrow. The hotline did not have the proper info and my sis wanted to go tomorrow.

Apparently they only open at noon and are probably giving out the coupons (with numbers and times on them) at 11am. But we are wondering since it is the first day for non-health workers, if people will get there really early.  Or maybe they won't even know it was open (it was supposed to open on friday).

My sis, niece and brother-in-law are eligible for the first group since my othe niece is under 6 months.

The guy had no idea when i'd be eligible. So he had me speak to a supervisor. She said most likely i would only be eligible in the last group (dec 7th). But that things change, so i should keep checking.

[Matt H.]

I also looked at all the bonus features on disc six in the set. There was a (too brief) documentary on the history of the character and the making of the series. Also about why, when it was garnering 40% of the audience in its time slot it got canceled.

There were two of the hour long ZORRO episodes that were shown on WALT DISNEY PRESENTS. (Really just four half hour episodes put together).

And there was Disney's 3-minute introduction of the series to audiences on his weekly show (where he played the theme song for the first time and had  a nice little introduction to the incredibly dashng Guy Williams playing the part.)

[Matt H.]

While I ate lunch I watched last night's NCIS: LA. It's really not a mystery but more of a crime drama series.

[Ginny]

DR Jose - I agree that you did the right thing and hope you eventually hear "the rest of the story."
