and I bet he has a lovely accent... I'm a sucker for an accent

Indeed he does.  He was answering a phone call while he was watering the plants, and that's when I heard his voice.  I was trying to figure out if it was "faded Australian" accent or a "faded New Zealand" accent.  And since I was in Australia just two years ago...  Well, that's what prompted the conversation/question. It turned out to be "slightly faded New Zealand" - he's been in the States for about 12 years now.

Done my errands.  Nice mail, but NO packages.  I am beginning to be IRKED, oh, yes, I am beginning to be IRKED.

PUBLICAN, baby, PUBLICAN!

Had a nice chat with our very own Harvey Schmidt.

Give Larry a big birthday hug from me!!

I'll do my best.  It actually may not be today since I have to hang out here for a little bit more - FedEx is running way late.  Ah, well...  And, wow!, it's already 5:20... Hmm...

Where was I?

Ize is not a well woman today.

Even I will admit that without DR elmore's prompting.

Didn't post last night during the Emmys, but gotta say I'm thrilled that Shatner won.  Boston Legal has quickly become my favorite show on TV, and I look forward to new episodes starting up next Tuesday.

Hmmm...technically, doesn't MY WORLD AND WELCOME TO IT also count here?  I'm pretty sure it was cancelled by the time it was nominated.

It ran only one season, so its first season was its last.

Notice I did say LONG-RUNNING to head off this as an example.

Jose, if you're serious about wanting to see it, I have an extra ticket that's going unused.  You can email me at dylan43rd, my AOL address but I have to leave in fifteen minutes.

To answer your question about the Reality show Emmy, DR Jennifer, the nominees' names were reflected in the various TV screens and by the catch-phrases each host uses when contestants are eliminated. But you had to look closely and listen carefully to catch them all.

I don't think anyone was surprised about THE AMAZING RACE winning its third Emmy.

As requested:
The Bears were very special to Derek (and are to me).

Walter (Valter)   TED (Derek's closest) William (Villiam)

     BJ               Sebastion (Seb)               Jackson
                       (honorary Bear)


Ted was the Bear who knew Derek's secrets and shared so much. He taught himself to use the computer and cell phone early this year and sent me many messages from which I knew far more about Derek's emotional and physical state.  (I don't think Derek ever knew but he did say at times he had found his computer still on or his phone had been missing)

Both Valter and Villiam were gifts from DiT at low times for Derek and Myself. They are close friends and still have Totonto accents.

BJ was a gift from Derek to me when I was hospitalised.

Jackson (Named after Peter) is from new Zealand and is Bj's best friend. (Yes I do wonder).  Jackson, BJ, & Valter had visited Derek's Bears at times. They were very good in the car and did use the seat belts.

Seb looked after and watched over Derek in hospital.
There are other Bears in the  house but these group is so very close.

Derek also had a Disney Hippo (Helga) who created many problems for the Bears. She has gone to live with his sister Maureen where it is expected she will learn more manners and not be as bossy.

Shoot!

I'm about to head out to meet DR Jason and possibly DR elmore for dinner and a margarita, and then Jason and I will be heading down to Splash for Musical Mondays.  Ah, well...  Maybe next year.

;)

But Thank You for the offer.

BTW TED now writes to Derek's sister Maureen.  He has permission and needs me to sit him on a high chair so he can reach the computer.  Derek had a laptop. I think the correspondence helps them both.
