TOD:

I'm not savvy or learned enough to dabble in stocks, though through various circumstances I do own an odd lot of them. 

I guess my most interesting stock is Disney, which started out as two shares that my sister gave to me as a Christmas gift.  Over the years, Disney split its stocks again and again and again and today those two shares have multiplied into 56 shares (though judging from the annual dividend they pay, it's not worth a heck of a lot.)

SUGAR was just dropped off at my mailbox.  I will listen to both discs while I'm washing/scraping/sanding my bay window today.

I thought Sugar was out walking with DR Kerry ;)

Wow - if you want to read about a case almost identical to mine:

Michigan State Coach Mark Dantonio's Heart Attack

If he's now on all the meds I am, players better not smack into him on the sidelines - bruising, you know.

His behavior over the question of who did what to "My White Knight" is absolutely pathetic; he's one of those fools who believes something despite all existing naterial that contradicts his opinion.

Anybody gonna watch any of the new or returning show premieres tonight?

I heard that The Event and Lone Star are supposed to be quite good. So i will give them each a chance (although The Event is gonna repeat on Saturday night which is when i'm gonna record it).

Tonight is the premiere of Chuck, Dancing With the Stars, House, Castle, Hawaii Five-O...

TOD - I have a small mutual fund IRA that we set up years ago through a local bank.  It was great fun to watch it grow throughout the '90s, but recent years, not so much.  At least I haven't lost any principal and I won't have to support myself on it in my dotage.

We have lost so much money on stocks and bonds that I don't even like to look at the statements any more.

TOD, I have my Thrift Savings Plan that I had when I had my cushy federal job.   I took out 1/2 of it right before the market went down, so I was lucky - but there still isn't much in it.  I don't look at it very often.  it's growing slowly but surely.  I no longer can add to it and everything else I make is going back into the business. So....I guess I'll just keep on working forever

Good Afternoon!

And my shower is still drip-drip-dripping... At least the landlord pays the water bill.

Jane - I finished The Thirteenth Tale- I would recommend it for your book discussion group - in fact I wish I belonged to a group with whom I could discuss this book

I'm excited you said this.  I just began reading it and so far feel this may be it.  Actually, I felt that way before checking it out from the library.  Thanks to DR td's comments though I now need to look at "The Historian", not that I have any time left to do so.

bk - I think you should be asking for NON-TRAFFIC AND NON-STOPPED PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION VIBES for your upcoming visit. Over the past week there has been some more "emergency work" on the NJ Turnpike, George Washington Bridge and in the Lincoln Tunnel. And the 1 Train will not be operating again this weekend. And now the Harlem River Bridge is currently closed due to a massive fire on the piers underneath the bridge. -There's no Metro-North service in or out of Grand Central until further notice. In any case...

~~~~~SMOOTH TRAVEL VIBES TO YOU~~~~~

And Sammy just knocked on my door to inform me that he's going to start the repair in a bit... Which means he'll have to turn off the water to the building... Take out the defective valve... Go up to the Bronx to get the new valve... Come back and replace the valve... Then turn the water back on.  ??? ??? ???

Needless to say, I don't want to be here for any of it.

By the way, that birthday card above pictures the exact way I was required to greet DR Elmore when I was staying at his apartment last NY visit.

And he never even bothered to read the damn newspaper!
