Me again. My husband just ordered TiVo so I will be able to see Greg's episode of Conviction after all.

It is sad that he is not coming back, but his devotion to his family is one of things I love most about Greg.

Well, I made Chocolate Peanut Butter Bonbons! I will give them to Greg tonight, along with a copy of Shani's report and a thank you letter from her.

Just a quick head's up for fans to keep an eye on the Conviction news / Greg's tv schedule listings on his web site over the next few days. It seems that his "True Love" ep. may have been moved up to an earlier date from April 21. However, I'm seeing conflicting info on just what the air date is exactly. I've seen Mon. April 10, Fri. April 14, and Sat. April 15 all listed (including on NBC's media site). I am awaiting a reply from a PR person at NBC ... hopefully they can give me a **definite, for certain** air date / time for the episode, which of course will then be promptly posted on the web site. I'll try to remember to post here too.

Mamie, my fingers are crossed since I know it may be better for you if it is moved up!

Malki ... you may have to reprogram that tivo. lol

Stay tuned, folks ... :)

That's wonderful! Afterwards you can say he made his Broadway debut at the Imperial Theatre! (You better make sure you have your video camera with you!)

Today's the day! Mamie, I said something to Yoni about it being his Broadway debut and he said "what's a day bue?" I hope he actually does it, you never know when he will change his mind. Also, his allergies and asthma are bothering him so who knows what he will be like this afternoon. I just hope Greg still talks to me after his encounter with the little monster.

Hi guys! Here goes. Greg told me earlier today that we had to finish our tour by 5 because the cast (and crew, I believe) were taking a picture for the Broadway Yearbook. That being the case, I made sure we were there a little early and we waited outside. A guy had come out (not Kevin) and I told him why we were there. He told Greg that we were there and then told us that Greg wanted us to wait on the stage after the show while he changed. Then the guy told us that Greg said we can go up to the dressing room. We went up and waited for Greg to open the door. Along the way, Yoni was intrigued by the tv/computer monitors that we saw. We went in to the d.r. and Greg asked Yoni his name and Yoni shook his hand and said "hi, I'm Yoni!" Greg then said hi to Shani and Eli and showed us around a little. We set up the webcam picture and he asked if the kids could have chocolate. Yoni was still waving at the camera so he took the picture of them waving. Then he opened the cookbook I gave him and I think he thought it was cool. (It was a SKIPPY cookbook. All recipes with peanut butter) He took a picture of that too.

Then we went down to the stage. Yoni asked him about all the monitors he had seen etc, so it took a minute or two. We went onstage and Greg showed the kids a bunch of stuff, yoni talking/asking questions the entire time. We went down further and we saw the orchestra pit (which Yoni loved) and the people who take care of the wigs. They all loved Shani's hair. Then there was an announcement that everyone should be onstage for the picture so Greg walked us to the door. Yoni realized that he didn't get to sing so he started to whine a little (they had all been pretty good until then) so Greg, doll that he is, offered to bring us back in when the photo was done. We went out and waited. A few minutes later Greg took us back in. Most of the cast/crew left (JP walked right past us) but when we got back to the stage, Norbert was up in one of the boxes, on is phone, and I think there were a few others milling about who left (except one woman, also up in a box - I didn't see her so I have no idea who it was). Yoni decided that the stage didn't really look like a stage. I explained that from the seats in the audience it looked like a stage. Then he announces that he needs a microphone. I found a pen in my bag and told him to use it as a microphone. (He later told me that he didn't want a pen, he wanted a microphone, after all, he said, Greg had one. Greg had been putting away his bodymic when we got there, something that you would never think Yoni would understand). Then he sang. (The Big REd Car by The Wiggles) The entire song (except the Jeff part). He got stuck in the middle but kept on going. We were all hysterical. Greg was singing along. Apparently Norbert and the woman in the box were laughing as well. Then we said goodbye. Yoni would have stayed. He shook Greg's hand and said thank you (without prompting). That's it.

I just told Greg that although Yoni does not truly understand what he did for him today, one day he will understand it and how special it was. As always, I felt bad for keeping him there for so long but he didn't seem to mind. You know what touched me the most? The fact that Greg got down to Yoni's level, twice. Not everyone would do that. He really is special and if I didn't already love the man I would now.

Just a head's up for Greg's fans who may be going to see the film World Trade Center - as you know, he worked on it for one day last October. So you'll know where to look for him, I've added info to his site that should help. Follow the link in this post. I'm seeing it Wed. night around 7 since I won't be able to make any earlier showings that day.
