And the genius is back, having fixed Richard's computer. He's now explaining how to prevent the problem from happening again.

And I found Page 3 here at the Apple Store!

Bye for now!

I have been informed Susan's funeral was at 10:30 this morning in New Jersey and her burial will be tomorrow in Kedumim, Israel.

I'd heard about the Israel thing. I'm dropping a note to Bert I. right now.

I just looked at our last e-mail correspondence - in August, and it does look like we sent her four books - I have an e-mail to the helper telling her to come get them and ship them, followed by "let's do it quickly - she's very ill." So I obviously knew she was very ill, but I'm positive she never mentioned it was cancer.

Wow! DR MBarnum and DR edisaurus in one fell swoop. Is the sky falling in?

Jerome Kern's ROBERTA is ready for rescue. The facts are in, the numbers are in place.

My mistake, service in NY was yesterday & in Israel today. My friend in Israel was as shocked as we were. I'm sorry she didn't have the information in time to go to the funeral in Israel.

She mentioned the seriousness of the Stenosis, not that she had cancer. She saw a specialist when she was in Israel & never mentioned the results to our mutual friends there.

DR Jane, the bathing cap does not keep my hair dry. And anyways i always shower and shampoo after swimming.

But most people who swim a lot do wear bathing caps at my pool. For me it keeps my hair out of my way. Even if i have it in a ponytail. The front part would still get in my face. With a bathing cap you can focus on swimming instead of pushing hair off your face.

Sorry DR Jane.

Nice to see DRS MBarnum and Edi.

I'm receiving many nice emails back from my high school classmates. Most of whom were also in Jr High & elementary school with us.

If it doesn't protect my hair I won't bother. I still have to stand to catch my breath so I don't mind having a bit more time while brushing my bangs back.

Speaking of hair, I'm off to get a hair cut. Later we have out of town company arriving.

I am truly devastated to read of Susan Gordon's passing. Susan was one of the first people to befriend me here at HHW. We spoke on the phone several times. We had what we thought was a great idea (I still do), but then the stalker came on the scene; and I believe Susan became a little nervous with people she hadn't actually met. I wil miss her. Perhaps I will sort through my DVDs this week and pull out THE BOY AND THE PIRATE to watch this weekend.

I have a feeling many Susan movies will be played in many homes over the next few days.

Just saw a dear friend at LGA airport. He cut my hair for over 20 years, but said that if Bush was reelected he would move back to his country of origin, Argentina. Haven't seen him since until today so that was quite an unexpected treat!

Your notes about Susan were very lovely, BK.

I'm sitting here crying as I type. Keith & I are so very sad today. He has known Susan since high school & I have known her since 4th grade. Last I spoke to her I knew she was seriously ill, but not without hope or that she had cancer.

Bruce, your notes this morning were very moving & a nice tribute to Susan.

Hugs to you and to Keith, Jane. My sympathies

Betsy and I reminisced about our chats and emails with Susan last night. Susan used to call Betsy regularly for help with MS Word, of all things. I remember one nice phone call or maybe AOL chat with JR and Susan when I was trying to get my Farmer-Garland musical off the ground and Susan said she wanted to play Judy's mother. She also tried for some time to get me to adopt a macrobiotic diet, which I soundly rejected (though I did try a few macrobiotic dishes along the way).

That is where I went wrong. I thought I was supposed to adopt a microwavotic diet.

I will probably engender discontent among those in the know here, but I watched MEMPHIS last night (which I must review) and I must say I found Chad Kimball incredibly annoying. I'm sure he's sweet in person, but that ridiculous patois he did just drove me up the wall.

Why did Chad Kimball have to leave the show?

Back from the four-mile jog, just remembering the Susan good times, which is what, I'm sure, she'd want.

How serious was her stenosis (he asked fearfully)?

Went to a steak restaurant where the steak was served on a hot stone but it was extremely disappointing. Poor quality and over priced. I find it so difficult to find a decent steak served up nowadays.

The worst meal I ever had in London was a steak dinner. I expected it to be wonderful because the restaurant was called Black Angus (which is the name of a chain in Washington).

I too never knew the complete reason (or the extent of the problem) when Susan left the board. I know several of us wrote to her trying to convicne her to return.

We communicate for awhile after that but somehow we drifted apart.

Sleep well dear sweet Susan.

Thank you. It is nice to be where others cared about her too. She had a habit of calling late for us when she should have been sleeping. She began calling when she was in San Diego visiting her mother & was on the same time zone as us. It feels strange knowing she won't be calling again.

Very true. I've been doing the same thing.
