Ski over to 44 x 10 for dinner! Is it still there? Hi everybody!
Morning folks! Getting ready to hunker down over here.

Hey Bongo! 44 & X is still there, but now I prefer 44 1/2 which opened a few doors down.
We are apparently getting sympathetic rain out here in SoCal.
Be safe, warm and dry Adults - and Boobs, I think this constitutes a business expense.
Cool. Stay safe everyone. Yes! Total business expense. Charge away Boobs!!
They just told us that whoever stays in the Hotel even gets a lieu day.

BWG - are you at the office today?
Have fun - I love a blizzard as long as there is power!
Cold here - maybe 1" snow in the last day!

We just got an email from IT regarding a new new text style program that is "really lacking in functionality". I've decided that is a perfect description of me today.
Confession (which only the Adults will understand):
Saturday night, at the intermission of the final performance of The Last Ship (which was beautiful), I got on line for the men's room and when I got to the front of the line, there at the two center urinals were Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka.
David finished first and as the other urinals were still occupied, I took the urinal next to Neil, who kept looking straight ahead. Not wanting to do anything embarrassing, I said, as nonchalantly as I could, "Oh, hello!"--which of course was the MOST embarrassing thing I could have done, since it sounded like we knew each other. (Which we don't--unless you count my prior intermission-stalking of him and David at the Emma Thompson/Bryn Terfel Sweeney.)
At any rate, my "Oh, hello!" forced him to look over at me, and when he realized we didn't know each other, he rolled his eyes and finished his business and went to wash his hands.
At any rate, I usually pride myself on being able to pull off nonchalant celebrity encounters, but this one had been a bust. So when we walked past David and Neil in the lobby toward the end of the intermission, I said to David--very casually this time!--"We loved your show at 54 Below."
We then proceeded to have a nice conversation with David, although not with Neil, who probably still thought of me as the Stalker from the Urinal.
Thanks for listening.
PJ, you're lucky when Neil turned to look at you he didn't turn his whole body. Oh wait, nevermind.

PJ - I love that story!
The first time I went to the Tony's with Addy I was awkward when surrounded by celebrities. The next year - and all succeeding years - I learned a tactic when/if I ran into sonmeone and made eye contact. To avoid looking like a star-struck fangirl, I would smile and say "Hi - great to see you again!" They usually smile back and figure they must know you from somewhere but they can't remember when or where. One gentleman flashed a huge smile and said "Goodness - you, too! It's been too long!" I got a huge kick out that one!
Mooney, I do the same thing. One guy actually asked my how long I would be in NYC before heading back to LA. He even told HC it was great seeing him again. Poor HC was so confused. LOL

I need to try that, but I really only see politicians in the loop.

It's kind of fun to "out act" the actors.
Well, maybe if "Great to see you again" works for Moonie, "Oh, hello!" is not so bad.
What's really bad is what some guy did while we chatting with David about his 54 Below show. This guy pushed toward Neil and said very loudly "Hey! It's Doogie Howser!"
David gave the guy an acid look (which was wonderful!) and said, "His name is Neil. Neil Harris."
The guys was insistent. "Yeah--but he played Doogie Howser!"
David, who had obviously heard it all too many times before, came back with "Yeah. He knows that. But his name is Neil. Neil Harris."

Yeah, well I don't know that I'd say "Great to see you again" to a man who was urinating. Timing is everything.
When I go to a urinal I don't talk, I look straight ahead and pray a fart doesn't slip out.

Sad little life I have with farting old lawyers that need to retire or at a minimum die. At least he is down the hall and has only a few files with us. We actually finally have a cordial arrangement.
We have a senior lawyer here notorious for his gassy shares. Thank goodness his office has a door.
I just have to say my police department has the best folks running their FB page. Humorous mixed with the serious in their updates. Nice bit of levity.
Everyone seems to look forward to their updates all the time.

Is your police department next to your Quick Chek?
It's up the road a little bit from a Quick Chek, but not my QC. They're a little bit down the road from where we get on the Parkway by me, by my Rite Aid.
Silly.
