Miss Myrtle-Belle is certainly a cutie. Wish I could take her into my home. But my bird would not be happy with that.

DR TCB "only once"!!  I don't think I have ever seen a major performer more than once, and felt darn lucky for the once. ;D

Sad about the drugs & alcohol.  I always thought ditching Debby was the cause of his decline though it didn't seem to hurt Liz.  I enjoy listening to him on the radio.

I had a fabulous day learning about Mortar. I'm really not being sarcastic.  It was great fun.

Didn't like the sweater, so it's all black for me today - nice black t-shirt and pants.  I guess gone are the days when there was a Gap on every block in NY.

The only Gap in mid-town Manhattan now days is the one between David Letterman's teeth.

Oh I forgot to mention that my lab work came back and my doctor was thrilled with my results, especially the Cholesteral counts!

I just received an exciting email.  The Dog Whisperer program donated $500 dollars to the Romanian Animal Rescue.  In honor of our daughter-in-law's birthday (9/22) those funds will be used next month to spay and neuter the dogs in her home town of Tecuci. :D

Thanks Laura.  They rescue group just trained one of the local vets to spay & neuter properly.  When Craig lived there he couldn't/wouldn't take his cat to be spayed.  The group has trained a number of vets in various towns throughout Romania.  They find the ones with the best abilities and the desire to learn.  I've heard many vets in some of the small towns don't/didn't use anesthesia.

Well, I'm now off to see Lord Franzannian's Royal Olympian Spectacular Vaudeville Show!  A local storyteller/actress created this local vaudeville (it's more burlesque, though ;)) and it'll be a lot of fun.  This is the fourth year and I've seen them all.

Until later!

You know, when you take away most of the people who contribute to this site and put them together for an evening, well, you get no posts. Hope the signing has gone well and the after party is great. Can't wait to read what happened.

I am the first one back from the HHW gathering this evening.

A wonderful time was had by all and I'm sure that the others are still playing at Joe Allen's.

The reading was funny and informative and quite good. There was a small, but appreciative turnout. There were some folks I don't know but Bruce did (Crista Moore being one of them).

After the reading we moseyed on over to Joe Allen's on 46th Street and 9th Avenue (from 40th Street and 8th Avenue). The group consisted of Deb (VixMom), Vixter, Anthony, Jose, Bruce, Julie, Fred (FJL), Larry, Kevin and Me. We all had wonderful meals and some even had dessert. Bruce got a wonderful ice cream thing for the table and we all tried it. Vixter and Jose and Kevin took pictures so something should be posted at some point.

Mr. Kimmel was exceedingly generous and took us all out for dinner, unbeknownst to us until the check came! Thank you Bruce for your amazing generosity. It is much appreciated.

All in all, it was a wonderful evening and now I must go to bed. I'm an old man and it's past my bedtime.

Before I go, congrats TCB on the medical report!

Why when I hit the unseemly button on the second part of the notes, it took me to the archives instead of the today's discussion board?

Thanks, Ben and Jose, for the full URL for BK's interview. I tried to get there "manually," but couldn't find my way through the very dense ABC website. I've got it now!

Back from Joe Allen.  What a lovelier than lovely time!  There were about twenty people at the signing with many people who said they were coming not showing up, and a few that I didn't know were coming showing up, like my pals Jessica Rush and Crista Moore.  I read the usual sections, talked for a bit and then signed books.  Then some of us went to Joe Allen for our meal.  I'll write more in the notes.
