My 50-something friend Nancy and I decided to introduce her mother to the magic of the Internet. Our first move was to acess the popular 'Ask Jeeves' site, and we told her it could answer any question she had. Nancy's mother was very skeptical until Nancy said, 'It's true, Mom. Think of something to ask it.' As I sat with fingers poised over the keyboard, Nancy's mother thought a minute, then typed,

'How is Aunt Helen feeling?'

A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and requests a $5,000 dollar loan for an upcoming trip out of the country.

The bank agrees but tells her she must give them some collateral before they give her the money.

"No problem. Here's the title to my Rolls Royce, it's parked out front."

The bank gladly accepts and gives her the loan. As the blonde is leaving they all joke about how she left such an expensive car as collateral for such a small bank loan.

After a week had passed the blonde returns to the bank to repay the loan and the interest. The interest came out to be $17.53. The loan officer asks her "Miss, why did you need the $5,000? We checked into your account and saw that you are a very wealthy lady."

The blonde replied, "Where else in New York City can I park my car for a week for only $17 and know that it will be there when I get back?"

A man is walking down the street with a case of beer under hisarm.

His friend Doug stops him and asks, "Hey Bob! Whatcha get the case of beer for?"

"I got it for my wife," answers Bob.

"Oh!" exclaims Doug, "Good trade."

Back from a nice lunch at Oakland's "Il Porcellino" Italian restaurant.

Today, I had the "fritto misto" and a side salad. The "fritto misto" consisted of prawns, eggplant, artichokes and garlic....lightly battered & fried.

Quite tasty!

Friday greetings!

Vibes for Mr. Richard Valley, with whom my niece Laura and I had a delightful dinner about a year ago, at Joe Allen following BK's reading in NYC.

I am late dropping in here because I had to be at the Dayton Marriott by 7:30am for the Ohio Library Council Southwest Chapter Conference, so had to leave home in what seemed like the middle of the night, in a thunderstorm. The conference was surprisingly good - here are the sessions I attended:

"Cod, Smallpox, Murder, and More...Popular Historical Nonfiction" - the guy talked about books like Devil in the White City and The Professor and the Madman and handed out a great bibliography. Anybody want a copy?

"No Free Lunch: How to Work with Patrons Seeking Free Money" - presented by the person who does at Toledo Public Library what I do at Dayton Metro.

"The Courage to Weed" - presented by my boss and his wife

A truly frightening presentation by the chair of the OLC Government Relations Committee about a state constitutional amendment that will be on our November ballot - a tax-relief measure that would severely reduce state funding for local government functions, including public libraries.

The preacher's Sunday sermon was 'Forgive Your Enemies'. Toward the end of the sermon he asked his congregation, 'How many of you have forgiven your enemies?' About half held up their hands

He then went on to talk another twenty minutes about the need to forgive and then again asked, "'How many of you have forgiven your enemies?"

As it was past lunchtime, this time about 80 percent held up their hands.

He then went on to talk another twenty minutes about the need to forgive and then again asked, "'How many of you have forgiven your enemies?"

This time everyone raised their hands except one small elderly lady.

"Mrs.Jones," inquired the preacher, "are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"

"I don't have any." she replied, smiling sweetly.

"Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual. If I may ask, how old are you?"

"Ninety-three." she replied.

"Oh Mrs. Jones, what a blessing and a lesson to us all you are. Would you please come down in front of this congregation and tell us all how a person can live ninety- three years and not have an enemy in the world."

The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said:

"I outlived them all."

The skies continue to darken...and the air is much colder now than it was this morning.

Thank goodness we don't see snow here!

I have high hopes -- yes HIGH HOPES -- of getting my "autographed" CD set of "Goodbye Mr. Chips" today.

It was mailed a week ago today via UPS...and I've been tracking its (lack of) progress since then.

It was pretty much stuck in Virgnia until last night, when it miraculously appeared in California. It is, allegedly, OUT FOR DELIVERY as of 8 a.m.

When I see it I'll believe it!

I'm rather looking forward to a nice movie weekend...I have DVDs of several classics, including "The Little Foxes," "Dark Victory," "Arrowsmith," "Stella Dellas", to watch.

If I watch the first two, I may end up pulling "The Letter" and "Now, Voyager" just for fun.

RATS! I knew we should have gotten tickets for Company at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park:

This was also front-page in this morning's Cincinnati Enquirer, which says it's sold out here.

DH Richard and I are off to Oxford, OH, for a concert by the Miami University Men's Glee Club. He will go up to sing traditional songs, the Fight Song, and the Alma Mater when they invite alumni at the end of the show.

Bye for now.

Will they let you "stand by" to snap up seats left by no-shows and cancellations?

Jennifer your correct we didn’t get WB. Guess we do now-just in time to watch the Pepper show

. If I hear the show improves drastically we might give it another try. I complain Keith turns shows off too quickly-this time I said I couldn’t watch anymore the opening was so horrible.

There's a new episode of "The Ghost Whisperer" on tonight.

I've never been disappointed by that show...at all.

The UPS guy is in the building...but he's loaded down with boxes that are way too big for a little 3-CD jewel box.

Sigh!

Sigh!
