We were in the dining room of a little Orlando restaurant that had a bar connected ...we noticed the restaurant was slowly emptying as people were leaving their meals unfinished and moving into the bar to watch the tv

We thought perhaps there was some big sporting event going on (not being sports fans ourselves) and paid no attention, finished our meals and headed back to the unit

Over the car radio we heard about the low speed chase

And arrived back at the unit to find my parents glued to the tv, my dad so sad saying "not OJ....oh why?"

Monday morning greetings! Today we're prepping for Washington, DC. The only errand I have to do is Staples for a black printer cartridge, which I thought I bought last Friday. When I went to install it, I discovered that I'd bought a color one - holiday head.

DR Vixmom, we'll arrive in the DC area (Crystal City, actually) Thursday, but will be fast asleep by the time you get to Greenbelt. Friday I'll be in an all-day genealogy seminar, but you can wave as you proceed south.

25 years ago today Rob and I were in Phoenix at my Mom's and Richard would join us several days later. We'd been out looking for comic books for Rob, who was almost 9. I think we saw the beginnings of the chase on a TV in some store and watched the whole thing on TV when we got back to Gram's condo.

DR Elmore, I'm sorry we were out of town 25 years ago when you were going through all that with your mother. But I'm glad we were back in time to give you a hug at her funeral.

I never missed HIGHWAY PATROL when it was on. It was produced by ZIV Television.

The Zivs were distant relatives who I didn't meet until the 1980s.

My son, David, is coming over this evening for a belated Father's Day celebration.

Yesterday, he and his musical group were off doing a gig someplace.

I fell asleep ladt night.

Later I woke up with a headache which keeps coming and going.

Jane · « **Reply #43 on:** June 17, 2019, 07:43:07 AM »

Currently it hurts.

DR elmore I too am sorry about your difficult memories. My sister was mad at me for believing my father was dying.

*Hugs* for DR ELMORE.

Yes it was a Friday.....I was playing the middle Audrey II in a production LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS....so we didn't see much of the chase.

This morning was completely different from last week's difficult attempt to get to the appointment.

This morning I left the apartment around 8:25, got to the bus stop just before the bus arrived, got off the bus at 72nd Street and literally boarded the Fifth Avenue bus. I got off that bus at the 42nd Street stop and transferred to the next bus immediately. I got to my appointment 30 minutes early, was seen immediately and was out by 9:45, the time of my original appointment. I had the same easy transfers getting home, so I stopped at the corner bodega and purchased lottery tickets.

I hope Annabelle's trip to the vet this afternoon goes as smoothly.

I hope the lottery winnings go just as smoothly, too!

Wow, thanks to DR Elmore for sharing the memories. Twenty-five years. Quarter of a century. Unreal, man. And so much going on at that very moment.

Not sure if I watched some of the OJ chase as it was happening, or if it was later that evening.

My stronger memory of OJ is the day the jury reached their verdict. I had been on an overnight trip to one of our big customer's annual "Oktoberest" dinner and was flying back from Harrisburg, PA to Westchester County Airport on the most beautiful sunny mid-autumn afternoon. As we were "deplaning" people were saying a verdict had been reached and was about to be announced. This part's silly, but I got over to my car as quickly as possible so I could turn on WCBS ("traffic and weather on the eights") and listen in privacy.

Of course I knew it could go either way, but I was truly floored when I heard it. Without a doubt, it's just as well I heard it alone, driving up I-684.

One of our cast has been in touch with Seth Rudetsky, who wrote "Please write me back and tell me what got the biggest laugh!".

(As far as I know, there are no plans for him to go up to see the show.)

On the day the verdict was reached our law firm effectively shutdown while we all went to the bar/restaurant across the street to have a mass lunch and watching on the tv for the results

The place was packed , once the verdict was announce there were cheers from some tables and dead silence from or mutters from the rest of them

I don't remember much about the actual car chase, except that I did watch some of it on the news later in the day. I do remember the verdict, though. I was here at work and several of us were in our staff room listening to the radio. All of us were very surprised (and not in a good way) at the outcome. $:-\$

I shall have to think about the TOD....I have been in a couple of productions, but I don't think I've seen any.

My favorite is George Washington Slept Here......
