Oh, Deb, I hope Dad's hand heals quickly!

thank you

he is feeling a little better at the moment after soaking it in cold water and taking some OTC pain meds

we are afraid the days to come will be worse as it appears he is going to end up blistering a losing the skin on his palm...

he refused to go to the walk in clinic around the block

Larry, I hope the egg passes quickly.

Also, I hope the tsursis with Roberta and Philly resolves itself.

Thanks! The egg tasted like no other egg i have ever had, but I'm not showing signs of nausea or anything. We'll see.

The ROBERTA tsuris will continue longer than I'd like; the one whose wrath terrifies me is my producer, and she is not going to be amused.

We watched

Variety Girl

It's a 1947 Paramount all star bonanza. Some of it is funny but it's 90 minutes and it's too long by about 30 and some of it's pretty bad. Anthony liked it much more than I.

With the new television and antenna we now get Channel 50 which is a NJ public television station. We get Channel 13, the NY PBS but we don't get Channel 21, the signal isn't strong enough. Anthony is watching a Midsomer Murders right now on Channel 50. It's nice to get 2 different PBS stations. I wish Channel 21 would boost their signal. They are about 45 miles away. If we had a roof antenna we could probably get the station but it's not our building so I can't put an antenna on the roof.

channel 21 is about 10 miles from here  in our preVixter days  Vixdad and I used to work their begathans for them answering phones and such like I also did a couple of late night live on air spots  ( I was terrible)

because of this I was also asked to take part in  BBC documentary about Americans watching Are You Being Served 


That's also how we got to meet John Inman and how he came to ask for my autograph  :)


actually this had nothing to do with what you were talking about, does it?

What are you doing for it? Apply lots of neosporin to it for any possible infection; should it be wrapped?

I should have known it was going to happen!  I do one play, and now I am being pressured to do another show.

Fantastic! Of course you are going to take the job.


I don't want to.

Is it O, Calcutta?

(I later saw what it was, sorry. I didn't read these in order.)

Went out to go to the last barbecue place on my list that's in town and, wouldn't you know it, they were closed until next week. Ugh. Thankfully, I have been there and I can write something.

But I was forced to go eat at a new restaurant that features lots of cured meats. The chef is also a cancer survivor, so he has named the place Cured.

I had some fun bites, including a dish called whipped pork butter. I skipped the house-made donut bread pudding with chocolate soup and dulce de leche ice cream, though. Another time, ChasSmith. Another time.

Hey, Tom,

I'll be over as soon as I get a car. After our trip to and back from Minnesota with the stops in Wisconsin I don't think Anthony is up for driving and I don't have a vehicle. If I stop in Iowa, I'll bring Cilla with me since she has a Roku and she can make sure I'm doing it correctly while we munch on veggie pizza.


Sounds like a deal, Ben!  Make sure you get a car that has heated seats. To keep the pizza nice and hot.  To make sure Cilla is comfortable.

And since I have no cat sitter, I'll bring them along!


That would be terrific.  Nicky would love the company.
