I woke up about seven and just stayed in bed - many things on my mind, some of which are bothering me - and which I'll have to do something about for my comfort zone (has to do with all this helper stuff).  I'm beginning to read through yesterday's stuff and then I will mush on.

Yes, where IS everyone today?  This will NOT do.  It's noon already and we're still on page two.  I feel a bitch-slapping coming on.

THe network at my place of work has been so incredibly slow today that I can barely do a stick of work, let alone surf the web.  It's finally running a little faster, but only just...

Snow is headed our way in the South of Jersey.  I'm planning on leaving the office early so I can partake in the ritual of panic buying at the Shop-Rite.

Hi, DR Ben!

Here's something fun:

Birthday Best Sellers


LOL!  The #1 best seller the week of my birthday was none other than DR ZHIVAGO--the very book I decided NOT to read on the train last week (I decided I had no desire to read about people who are freezing and starving to death in the midths of January.  I'll wait to read it when the weather's nicer.)

Okay, so much for leaving early--I forgot that the system clock on our PCs is five minutes slow--I've missed the next train out of here!

I've done seven pages, so I'll take a break, go to the mail place, shower and get ready for rehearsal.  I may do another two or three pages if I have time before rehearsal - that way, I won't have to do any tonight.

I am finding it hard to believe that we are still on page two.  And we'd better get us a frenzy or three very soon.

I highly recommend the new ShowTime series EPISODES - I think MR BK might be especially interested in this skewering of American television.


I am also watching the Van Williams GREEN HORNET marathon on Sy FY.

Bruce Lee only comes up to just over Van Williams' shoulder.....he must have been sort of short.

THE GREEN HORNET had a lot of interesting guest stars.  And co star Wende Wagner was very beautiful.

My favorite line so far:

Van Williams as The Green Hornet to Bad Guy Jeffrey Hunter:  Okay. We'll do it your way.  But don't get cute.
