Now there’s a useful excuse!
On this date in 1915, transcontinental telephone service began between New York and San Francisco.

Speaking of the Olympics, last night I watched the exhibition of skaters. Dick Button kept referring to ice dancers Davis & White’s free skate to a Phantom of the Opera medley as “iconic” as Torvill & Dean‘s Bolero performance in 1984. And I have to say, I totally agree. It was so beautiful it almost made me cry.

Tonight on TV, we have:
Back to writing tonight. Wish me luck!

I just heard about Nancy Kerrigan’s dad. What ashame. This family has had to endure tragedy again.

I hadn’t heard about the father. Such sad news. I can’t wait for Castle tonight! Something to look forward to on Monday!
I hope you have a good day!

I’ll have to see if the Phantom of the Opera performance is on Youtube. I’d love to see it!
