Friday, September 23

Well, we have had a very eventful day. We stayed in Burbank last night, close to everything.

Today we went to NBC Studios and took the tour in the morning. Jenny and I had done it before but I was more than happy to do it again, because I love things like that. Dana had never been to anything like that before, so off we went. We also got tickets to the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. The taping for that was to start at 4 pm so we got there at 1:20. They have a place for you to sit down outside, with water, lemonade and bathrooms.

I have been having trouble with my left leg, which is ongoing, sometimes worse than others. I have sciatica, arthritis, and have had landed on it 3 times. Anyway, poor me, but the point is that I had Jenny's cane with me since it was worse again today. They took one look at the cane, and we got the royal treatment. We were first into the studio and we were seated on the floor - well - on chairs on the floor!

If you watch Jay at all, you will know that when he comes out he high fives the people in the front. So - if you see it later tonight, or go see it on the website after tonight, you may see me right up there as one of the first ones - would depend on where the camera was. Dana may not have gotten into the picture, since she was not quite as aggressive at getting up there  as I was.

Anyway, the guests were Hugh Jackman, Maya Rudolph (an alumnus of SNL, and played the bride in 'Bridesmaids'), and musical guest was Tony Bennett! It was a fabulous time.

So then we had to get over to our new hotel at the airport (LAX). Thanks to the GPS we got here, though we did get off the freeway a couple of times through misunderstanding 'her'. Without a word of a lie, there were at LEAST 3 million cars on the road, all going 300 miles an hour, and all wanting to be in my lane at any given time. It was Mr. Toad's wild ride. When we got here, all we could do was laugh.

In the morning I am picking up Erin (our oncology coach), and going to San Diego for a few hours. Dana is going to stay here and go the the pool etc.

So that is it for today. We will tune in again tomorrow and try to get some photos posted.
