DR Jane - thanks for the reminder.  Fortunately, I've been following this new eating strategy long enough that good choices are coming pretty naturally.  And we checked out the hotel fitness center on the way in from dinner and our walk  ;)

We made it to Page Five! I'm too tired to dance right now.

DR Ginny - Another great place to check out in Savannah is the Gryphon Tea Room.  It's owned and operated by the Savannah College of Art & Design.  It's a beautiful room, and the food "matches" the decor.  You can go for either Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch or Dinner, but they also serve an Afternoon Tea if you're in the mood for a light meal.

I am watching "Salt," which isn't as good as the reviews had led me to think. It's OK, it's just not all that involving.

Musto has weighed in on the All That Chat hacking


All That Chat, the breathlessly readable site known for dissecting shows in previews, critiquing writers who actually get bylines and salaries, and posing questions like "Are there gunshots during Long Day's Journey Into Night?" was recently hacked and is now asking readers to chip in for a security service to monitor the site.
Talk about breaking the fourth wall!

Meanwhile, this just came in from a reader:

"I wonder if it's worth investigating that the hacking of ALL THAT CHAT might have been deliberately malicious, rather than just a prank...

"Not to be too paranoid, but certainly there are a few producers in town who have benefitted from the site being down this week.

"If this was done with malicious intent, rather than a prank, it's a crime. It might even be a crime in the latter case.

"In all seriousness, doesn't the FBI investigate cases like this?"

Good points.

Julie Taymor, was it you?"

Is All That Chat back up and safe now? I haven't looked at that for a long time.

Wonder what the response a newspaper would be to a hacking such as the one on All That Chat? I doubt they would ask for people to help pay for the security. Yet more and more websites are asking for subscriptions to help defer such costs.

I don't read All That Chat, but would you be willing to contribute?

I heard that, too. From a guy in a mental hospital. He also said that he invented those posters that are one big picture made up of a bunch of tiny little pictures. He was about six when those were invented.

I think Laura's there, therefore she is.  Or I am.  I forget which.

Bruce please do not put your heroine in padded shoulders again.  Some of her clothes go beyond fun vintage.

Shoulder pads scare me

Tomorrow I think I'll go finish putting the new computer table together for the library at the office and set up Edith's new computer.  I need to transfer her stuff (desktop etc that aren't shared on the network).  Is there an easy way to do that - PC  Windows Vista to Windows 7.    She is really going to be surprised.  She knows I'm thinking about it, but I don't think she'll believe I did it.   Her old computer will go to the library/conference room.   She needed the new one, but it is also a step I had to take if I'm going to take on an intern at some point this year.

I think it was the shoulder pads in that dress I was wearing that made that drunk guy think I was a lesbian.
