Well,that's ok, because I was thinking all week that I need to be ready to go at 7 p.m. my time and suddenly today realized that if it's 8 p.m. EST, it's 6 p.m. rat cheer, rat now. So ...

I don't know about the taping thing. I'm not well set up to do that -- just a cheapie Radio Chak portable (apologies, LEJ) -- but I'd love to, so I will give it a shot. If anyone has a better idea, I'm game.

Thanks, Joe Offer. That was a lovely thing to say.

Maybe I need to rethink this bubblewrap thing. Maybe the slinky black sleeveless dress, with a bubblewrap cape and my faux diamond earrings ... DAMN, I wish I'd gotten that feather boa when I was considering it. But then you'd hear me going ptooie! ptooie! all night as I tried to keep the feathers out of my lip gloss...
