My Miami U friend Roy comes in every spring with his wife while she's on some United Nations-church work.  Last week I sent him an email about my limited time because of my Encores! deadline.  I sent it to his work email, since that was the source of all previous emails relating to this year's NYC trip.  Last night I learned that he changed jobs several months ago and that email address is now invalid.  WTF?

I was awakened in the wee hours by a cat (not naming any names here) tossing a hairball.

DR Elmore has so much to look forward to!   :)

Thank you, all, for the work vibes. I can’t do anything but do the best I can with the job and continue to reach out where I can.

It's nice to know the Vixter was so well thought of that nearly two years after she left she's still being  asked after

Well it's not nice out, but at least it's not snow

Unfortunately when I woke up today there was a little "surprise".  It's not much snow. Maybe only 1 cm. But it was supposed to rain NOT snow. Not happy I have to get my boots out again. :(

You'd think that they would have invented a way to let people sit in an MRI without that horrible loud noise. I've only had one once. But it was when I had a debilitating migraine. And listening to that horrible noise was the last thing I needed. I almost couldn't stand it (plus I'm claustrophobic).

Larry, such an awful elevator situation.  sorry you're going through that; sounds like it could be terrible workmanship, or is it just a bad elevator?

It's nice to know the Vixter was so well thought of that nearly two years after she left she's still being  asked after

Doing good work, even putting in that extra time, can pay off.  I worked at a summer job when in law school, a really great law firm, and the cases were exciting to inexperienced me at least, so I worked until all hours because I was having a ball work-wise.  The hiring attorney even made a donation to a campus extracurricular group I was involved in, and called me up to have lunch each time he came to campus to recruit in following years.  I chose the CPA-firm route instead, as the CPA firm was giving me a chance to work on the AT&T break-up (which so ended up annoying me as a regular phone customer, but totally fascinated me as one of the great business learning opportunities so i grabbed it; it felt once in a lifetime at the time.  (The CPA firm paid much less but since my parents didn't mind me still living with them at 23, my living expenses were very low).

But years later, a wonderful actress in "The Last Starfighter" premiere (and on the Kritzerland album, so there's a HHW connection) was working at that firm, the firm's name came up on caller ID when the actress called us during her lunch break - and I said to her I wonder if Charlie remembers me from over 20 years ago; she was sitting right outside Charlie's office, so she just asked him, and he got on the phone as if he remembered me from last year.

As Archie Bunker said, a once in a lifetime opportunity - something like that only happens 2 or 3 times in a person's life.  :)

TOD:

BK - It feels (at least to me reading in NY) like you've got so much more exciting stuff going on in your life than you did when the monthly shows started.  Could this "cooling off" thing possibly be a sign to make them quarterly instead of monthly (or might you lose your loyal audience if it's not every month)?

Val says it was something they had overlooked.  It's back and up running this morning.  Everyone on the third floor was pissed last night.  The attitude was, it was out of service for seven weeks and the new one lasts three weeks?

Hopefully, this is the end of the problems for a while.
