Here is a question for all feline lovers:

Re: folks who love, but are living a life without, cats....are they what are referred to as "lapsed cat-licks"?

Well, after looking at a map last night it seems that all our sundried HHWers outside of New York are also out of the way as one drives to Fort Atkinson, WI. Anthony will be taking the northern route on Interstates 80/90 and then switch to 90 and 90/94, finally ending up on 94 to get to Fort Atkinson. All you Southern Staters (TD (PA), Ginny and Richard (OH) and Jack (IN) missed out on a visit from Anthony. Gas prices being what they are, side trips to Pittsburgh, Middletown and/or Mooresville don't look likely.

It's also not easy to get to Madison (the largest city close to Fort Atkinson) by plane if I want to visit while Anthony is in Wisconsin. I finally found a couple of good fares with nonstop flights but who knows what they will be like in a month or two. Most flights have at least one stop and some have 3!!! One of them takes you from LaGuardia to Boston to Cincinnati to Madison with a plane change at each stopover with total flying time hovering around 9 hours and that's without any delays.

Other weekend DVR-cache catchings-up observations:

Possible SPOILAGE

Ddldlfkelrkl RR ;dflg;lk l'lk'r Q akjg;lkjqiu QwertyWordyDirtyBirdie singdawmarjoriedaycoleslaw.
"Ghost Whisperer" -- I always enjoy the show, but I am increasingly puzzled by the presence of Camryn Mannheim in a totally NOTHING role. And is this show going to actually "go" somewhere in this truncated season? By now, we should be in the middle of a shattering season-ending story arc. All we know for certain, though, is that Melinda is "ready" to have a child.

"Moonlight" -- I thunk it more than a week ago and I think it even more now: That new guy in the DA's office is most certainly being played up as a competing love interest for Beth's affections. His role in the first episode was far too developed to be just another character in the story -- he was far too invasive into Beth's activities and far too suspicious-seeming of Mick's involvement in a murder case that he wanted the police to be left alone to handle. At first, I thought they were setting him up to be one of the bad guys...and then it became clear he was being thrust into our living rooms as a "new character" in the series. Thursday night's episode solidified that first impression for me...and previews for this week's show absolutely confirm it. Whether he'll be allowed to live beyond the end of the season is the only question mark lingering in my mind. And so it goes, like the river flows, and time rushes on all the livelong, singdong Day.

End possible SPOILERS

DR Ben - being somewhat familiar with that part of Wisconsin since Richard has been a student there for 2 years, I'd recommend flying into Milwaukee. The airport is very easy to access and very convenient to I-94 westbound. You'd probably find better flights into and out of there.

Also, someone at the seminary told me about a shuttle bus to Waukesha from O'Hare in Chicago. Waukesha isn't too far from Fort Atkinson.

Ben · « **Reply #126 on:** May 07, 2008, 10:05:42 AM »

Ginny, thanks for the information! I'll look into it. I don't even know if/when I'm going, just that it will probably be sometime in September. I can certainly do a shuttle bus from O'Hare to Waukesha.

And the older you are the more expensive it becomes. My company doesn't offer it and I've been looking into it. Every year you wait adds about another $1000 to the yearly cost. Ouch!!! I don't wanna get old

Yeah! Just put me out on the porch of the HHW Group Home in a rocker next to DR MBarnum and I'm good to go.

Interesting reading the transcript of the "online" chat last night with Mr. Stephen J. Sondheim.

Since they didn't present the questions to him in advance, and the session was limited to one hour, not too many questions got answered, while they were waiting for him to type out his replies.

Ginny, I had a similar experience on a cruise--I think mine was on a Holland-America cruise. But the lady I saw said she'd been on far more than four cruises. Given how many ships have been added in recent years, your chances of getting a healthy discount are now even greater.
