DR Vixmom the doctor seems to be thorough. Did you like him?

Yes he really listened to me, he had my records from my general practioner up on his screen and was asking questions...

Back from JFK, and boy, was this one a trip. Someone had turned their car over on the Van Wyck down near the Belt Parkway, and the traffic was backed up to the World's Fair site. It was brutal.

I'm pretty good at building in the right amount of extra time whenever I drive into the city, because you NEVER know what you're going to get -- most times, it's nothing or very little, but then something like this happens and it all pays off. It took me one full hour to get into the airport from where I saw the brake lights ahead. It's also a good thing I wasn't hungry or thirsty or needing a bathroom. Brutal, I tell you.

Noted:

1010-WINS ("traffic and weather on the ones") pronounces it "Van Wick".

WCBS 880 ("traffic and weather on the eights") pronounces it "Van Wyke", which I believe is the more correct.

On that note (you'll have to guess which one), I bid you all a good night.

I know eventually we will see The Darket Hour.

That long delay and you were not late,, I am impressed.

Keith finally sounded better today and coughed less.

I am still the same, never sure if I am coming down with something or not.

Page five? Really?

Okay, I'll take the heat, I'll take the blame - I've been errant and truant since Numero Uno, which I'll talk about in the notes. As soon as I got home I went to the mail place, then came back home. It was already four by then, as we didn't leave for lunch until two. Once home I got involved in merde, then some long conversations on the telephonic device, one of which is going to involve a decision about taking on a project I may not want to take on to quite the extent I'm being asked to think about, but we'll have a meeting about it and see.

Then I had to work at the piano and I finished a song I've been working on and then I just sat on my couch like so much fish and watched two count them two motion pictures.

Hello, George.

Hi, Tom.

TCB · « **Reply #136 on:** February 27, 2018, 11:37:50 PM »

I decided I needed to check and make sure we were at a “safe” post total.

George · « **Reply #137 on:** February 27, 2018, 11:40:02 PM »

I think we're safe.

I've been sort of watching the closing ceremony of the Olympics.

Is GRUBHUB a national chain, or is it a Northwest company?

George · « **Reply #140 on:** February 27, 2018, 11:40:57 PM »

I made my own DVD of the opening ceremony, so I also want the closing ceremony.

George · « **Reply #141 on:** February 27, 2018, 11:41:11 PM »

I set my DVD burner to record the program when I went to work this morning, and now I'm going through and cutting out the commercials.

It is a rather expensive way to get food delivered.

I need to try and get some sleep. Good night, George.
