It's official -- I have a cold. It's in the throat right now - I have a very deep, some might say, sexy voice. I'm taking aspirin, drinking tea with lemon/honey and getting my rest. I have a feeling that my nephew, Jacob, gave it to me. Then again, maybe I wore myself down with all that driving this weekend. I'll probably never find out. I don't have a lot to say today. I know I say that a lot and then go off on my commute in but this time I got nothing. When I went back to Ohio, I picked up my old record player. I told you I bought an LP because it wasn't available on CD. Anyway, I'm hooking the record player up to my receiver last night and there's no place to plug it in! It has a digital this and a digital that but no love for my turntable. That's messed up! In society, have we progressed beyond the point where we no longer need phonographic inputs on our receivers? Would it really have put out Sherwood if they would have just added 59 cents more of electronics? I can take a phone call in my car, while I'm driving but I can't play a freaking LP in my living room?! Is this America?

Talking about the highway reminded me of a story. On my way back from Ohio, at certain points, I had the old car up around 85mph. At one of these points, I look over at the median and see a police car just sitting there. I blew past him at 85. That's quite the feeling, your heart stops and you're focused on the rear view. He didn't come after me - I couldn't believe it! I so deserved that ticket! I'm going to slow it down from now on, that was too fast. That was almost a story, ha ha. If you watched the show last night you heard Dave talk about our Scenic Designer Kathleen Ankers' passing. When I started off in the mailroom 6 years ago we were on the same floor. She was always so nice to me, always had a kind word. I'd ask how she was and she'd always say, "Just lovely, my dear." She was cool -- My condolences to her family. That's it for today. God Bless America!!!!
