George write last night: "Of course, I haven't purchased ANY lottery ticket in YEARS, but why can't I win anyway??"

This is one of those quirks you wish they'd get resolved once and for all.  It's unfair to people who don't buy tickets, isn't it?

Jen came down and looked over my remote. She said that she didn't think the remote was the problem; it was the cable box, So, she rebooted the cable box, said she had to get back to a meeting - she has an advertising firm, The Watsons - but she would com,e back after and take the cable box to Spectrum for a new one and a new remote. About 30 minutes later, I checked the TV, which had taken forever to reboot, turned it on, and everything worked! All is good, thanks to Jen.

Great news, Larry!  Jen is a gem!

MichaelG will you have Indian food while you are there?

Ha! That’s what I am doing now, waiting for the check. I’m following suggestions from Chetna Makan’s series on Indian food in London. So far so good.

Yum :)

We never ate there, however, our favorite Chinese retaurant was Joyce Chen's in Cambridge.

Joyce Chen was very good. But Mary Chung was a favorite MIT hangout.

Keith, my husband, doesn't recall hearing about Mary Chung when he worked in Cabridge.  Often when we went to Joyce Chen's she would walk around chatting with customers.  I still have the little panda bear pin she handed out after seeing the bears.

I have a gift subscription to give away for The Borowitz Report (David Borowitz, the humorist) which I believe is in the form of an email newsletter.

Any DR interested?

When was he there? I think it opened sometime around 1979-1981.

Made some decisions, went to the mail place, got Taco Bell for food (1000 calories exactly), ate it, and look how late in the afternoon it is.

We were only in MA a couple of years, somewhere between '81 & April of '83.

We lived in Acton.  We hated leaving.  Special was swimming in nearby Waldon's Pond.

Richard went to the doctor today and they ruled out things that can be tested for.  Seems he has just a nasty cold.
