"Sole Survivor," by Asia. I'm putting together a sci-fi sort of playlist for my iPod.

Glad to hear you're doing well, Jerry, and a very happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well. The album sounds cool - I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

(Erin and Nora are sorting through the their library - a job that has been put off for several months.) Erin: You know, I bought some of these books a month and a half ago and I still haven't read them. Nora: I know the feeling. Should the Saiyuki books have their own shelf or do they go with...

I just went to see "Pirate Radio" tonight. I thought it was really, really funny - and of course the soundtrack rocked.

Yeah, mention your screen name in the school and you'd be out the door in a heartbeat. Poor Beaker - will you ever win?

Well, I'm sure a lot of you guys have heard by now that one high school in Massachusetts has banned Beaker-speak from its hallways. It looks like the kids planned to go off in a chorus of meeping in the halls one day, and the parents and administrators freaked out. "Too disruptive," they said...

Oh, brother. If the principal thinks he's going to keep order by banning "meep," he'd better think again. You'd think that school administrators would have bigger fish to fry these days. Meanwhile, up in heaven, I wonder what Richard Hunt thinks of this?

In one episode, it seems that there's a nod to Richard Hunt and Placido Flamingo. In one scene we see Nitya Vidyasagar, as Leela, reading a biography of Placido Flamingo - penned by Hunt.

Cool shot; I'll have to try to see that eventually. I have the book, just not the DVD set. And for once, it was someone other than Richard who showed up late. ;) Oh, and Marianne, I had a chance to look at the essay you sent me - check your PM box in the next little bit.

The book came in the mail today, appropriately enough. I've read through it a few times already; it's pretty cool. Marianne's right; most of the stuff of interest to the RHLC is on Richard's main page, but on pages 90 and 91, there are a few tiny photos with Richard in them. One's a group of...

Happy birthday to Sesame Street. We could do a chorus of "Sunny Days," except that it's kind of cloudy here. And at 40, the show's aged very well. So let's have a toast to all the Muppet people, human cast members, writers and crew, both past and present (and while we're at it, future).

Nice, nice - many thanks, Ed. Nora: (reading SH book) "She gasped, 'It was the band...the speckled band!'" Beige: (drinking coffee) What's that about, a rock group with freckles? Scooter: Nope - they think it refers to someone's scarf, but the speckled band is really a... Storyteller: No...

I just placed an order for the book last night, so it should be arriving within the next few days or so. I'll keep my eyes open for any notable quotes or photos.

Beige: Ooh! (starts to attack muffin) Storyteller: Beige, stop, that's for Erin! Beige: Come on, she won't notice that a crumb's missing! Nora: (checking on cake) I think you were going to take more than a crumb...and by the way, where is Erin? Scooter: She's out running errands, she'll be back...

Hi, Sara - yes, we've been holding our own all right. Glad to hear you and Rob had a nice Halloween...and I hope everything works out for you both.

(The gang's watching the Alice Cooper episode of TMS.) Nora: You guys were right when you said that year's Halloween episode was completely different. Scooter: Yeah, took us weeks to get all the scorch marks out of the proscenium...and I kept expecting to see those monsters every time I went...

(Gang has been seeing trick-or-treaters through the haunted house in room 7.) Scooter: (dressed as Dr. Who, holding a bowl of candy) Bye, thanks for coming, be safe! (to others) Did you see that one girl who had a pencil sticking out of her head? Erin: (dressed as a secret agent) One way of...

I haven't dressed up for a while for Halloween - for the last 10 or so years, I've been more of a behind the scenes person - helping out at our parish's Halloween party or keeping watch on the front porch with the candy bowl.

Hey, Carrie, nice to see you back - haven't seen you for a while. And hope all's well with you, Marty. Yeah, I like the look of rugby shirts - they make you look like you're ready to go out and kick a soccer ball around. And Richard sort of fits the profile of a soccer or basketball player -...

If you ever go back, here's a few other things you might want to look up. There's the former Henson townhouse up at 117 E. 69th Street. They've taken out the stained-glass windows so it might not look terribly obvious. Just look for a building with dark-colored bricks and white columns - if...
