Saw Jay Leno once years ago on the comedy circuit. Said he bought his Dad a new TV with his first remote, but when he went to visit him, he noticed his Dad was still getting up from his chair to adjust his TV. Jay asked him where the remote was, and was told “It’s in the drawer. I don’t want to wear out the battery.” Ha.
Oh, thanks for asking, amk. He’s been doing very good. Tomorrow he sees the surgeon for his first visit, post-op. Gotta say I’ve been looking for diversions all day (and I’m sure he has, too!). Wouldn’t mind if you kept him in your thoughts. You and your family understand the drill!
I just saw the worst non call in a while (should’ve been a RED & PK for USMNT) who are down 1-0 to Panama in the Gold Cup. Was freaking pathetic….and then the ref proceeds to give 2 yellows to the U.S. in the following 2 minutes.

I was wondering the same, amk. Thanks for asking. Keeping him in my thoughts, Jacqueline.
Thanks so very much, Bob. Appreciate it.
Will be keeping both of you in my thoughts, Jacqueline, and please let us know the outcome of the post-op visit. All the very best!!!

Glad to know that he is doing ok. Best wishes tomorrow. May it all be good news.
Thanks again, kind sir.

People who obviously don’t come to TOD for the real information!

Set your clock either way, ‘cuz you’re gonna sleep whether you want to or not! :-)
