Now watching a silly but effective noir called The Scar with Paul Heinried and Joan Bennett. She's definitely wearing Hedy Lamarr's old hair.

I have a meeting of the bored today.

Since my Windows 7 computer will not connect to my printer - I will have to write my Promotions Repor in long hand.

Groan.  Computer vibes!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  Something like that only happens two or three times in a person's life!
