Did a mile and a half jog, then picked up one package and no important envelope - hopefully the latter will be here tomorrow. This is the second little package from the publisher this week - it's almost like they sent me the test books over again. Unless they're filling my order one book at a time.

The New York Times today is reporting on a new video game called "LA Noire." Seemed appropriate to mention, given the daily theme:

I've been relaxing, which is what I really needed - I fell asleep a couple of times, and watched two motion pictures, both really bad and both part of that BBS box set.

John G. I admire your attitude towards the insulin --- however I should tell you that a friend of mine has been taking daily shots since he was 7 years old at 53 he is still going strong!

JMK - I signed up for ebates a while ago but never used it - thanks for mentioning it again - I just ordered the Vixter's graduation announcements from Shutterfly and got 8% back!

I have an Arthur Laurents story. A couple of years ago my friend from England and I went to see Jane Fonda in "33 Variations" on Broadway. During the show we heard some groans from the row behind us.

At different points during the show a sign would be held up saying "9th Variation," or "18th Variation." When the sign came up "23rd Variation," we heard the man say "oh, no, 10 more!"

After the show, as we made our way up the aisle I spotted Arthur Laurents and pointed him out to my friend, Glenn. Glenn said "that's the man who was groaning!"

We went to the stage door afterwards and after a while the door opened and who should walk out but Mr. Laurents. He started to make his way down the street. A few seconds later his assistant (?) came out, looking frantically for him. I said "he went that way."

I also signed up for ebates but never ordered through that site. I'll have to try it too!
