Well, there are Shirley going to be no packages for moi today -- a tragic pronouncement, since that includes the new laptop "guaranteed to arrive by 8 pm".

Thanks for the Spotify tip, DtM. It's good/bad to know. And I'm sorry/grateful.

Sounds like maybe the proofers should take another look. And have a couple more people read it, too. The more proofers the better.
After reading today's notes I would agree with DR Laura. Read it out loud. Get a few more people to proof it. As someone who reads a lot I think it is important to try to get rid of as many mistakes/typos/errors as you can Good luck.

Has "Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean" ever been released on DVD? I remember seeing a regional production of the show just after leaving college and really enjoyed parts of it. I can't remember if I ever saw the movie all the way through.

I just read that San Francisco International (SFO) has canceled 67 flights into and out of the airport because of the winter storm in the northeast.

Wow!  That was fast.

I used to do publicity for Junior's.

That is a good looking pizza.

It's drizzling but not really snowing in lower Manhattan. "They" say it won't start getting bad until around 7 pm. It's not quite sleet and not quite snow and not quite rain. And it's not even THAT cold, it's 33 (a degree above freezing) and when I came back from lunch it wasn't bad outside (except for the wet).

"They" (HR) said people who have travel issues may begin leaving at 3 pm or earlier if they need to do so. Since I'm a half-block from the office, I don't need to take advantage of the offer.

My new (actually used) computer with Windows 7 is quite nice. I spent part of the week tweaking it and I'm happy with the results now, including putting this picture on my desktop as my wallpaper (see the next post).

It's now snowing a bit more. I can see it from the window of the office. It may turn into Nemo later in the evening. If so, we are stocked (Anthony joined the buying frenzy earlier this afternoon) and we have 18 episodes of The Grand to watch and plenty of books to read and if we need more to watch we can turn here (watching on the laptop)

I am home. Around 11am I called my friend Bruce at Rodgers & Hammerstein about my stopping by and dropping off some music, and he suggested we meet for lunch at 1.  So, I met him at a restaurant on 7th and 28th Street and we spent a jolly 90 minutes over chicken pot pie and cheesecake, We then caught the No 1 subway to 42nd Street. There, he left the station and I crossed the platform and got onto an express train to 72nd Street. I came out of the station and got right onto a No 7 bus that dropped me off at my doorstep.

It's a mess outside so I've put the laundry on hold.

I'm in for the duration.

Looks like I forgot to log out when I left for the hairdresser.  From there, I picked up my sister at their hotel and we went to the Vera Bradley enabler retailer, Michael's, Panera for lunch, Half Price Books, and Starbucks.  She's napping at the hotel and she and her husband are coming over later for a pizza dinner with Richard and me.

It has been, DR JRand.  Despite the almost 10-year difference in our ages, we get along quite well.

I see they are advertising Roku players.  I love my Roku, you can see all the streaming from Netflix, rent from Amazon and many many other services HULU etc all on your TV instead of your computer

Anthony's mother asked about getting a Roku. I gave her a subscription to Acorn for Christmas. I may get her a Roku for her birthday and have the Geek Squad install it (since they are on Long Island and we are here in the city).

Congrats on your milestone post, Cillaliz. (I don't know how to do the picture.)

And we're supposed to work on non-snow days?  ;)
