Wait Wait Don't Tell Me

WSHU and SCSU are hosting a live taping of "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me," September 23, in New Haven. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased online.

Mom

Web pages on chair lifts produced by the Google Directory. Need to find an objective evaluation of various types, though. Consumer Reports? Nothing there. (Aug. 25, 2004)

Here's a PDF version of the Connecticut DMV form (i.e. "1-B") for replacing a lost license. And here is the list of ID's the DMV will accept. One needs at least one item from each category, and it appears that an expired passport isn't sufficient for category 1. However, it does suffice for category 2. We'll need to get a valid passport, social security card, or birth certificate. Click here for NYC birth certificate application (assuming that Mom really was born in NYC)

The concensus seems to be that Whitney Center is the place to go, if you can afford it. Tower One doesn't seem like a bad place at all, though. Just that the rooms are smaller and the lifestyle more casual. Here's the Tower One home page. "The renowned architect Charles Moore began construction more than 30 years ago. His and the others' dreams of a safe, cheerful, comfortable home in the Jewish tradition has come true." They have 367 apartments. Address and phone number are: Tower One/Tower East, 18 Tower Lane, New Haven, CT 06519, (877)372-1629 Here's another description from the United Way website. Ashlar Village in Wallingford, Connecticut also looks good, but it's probably too far from New Haven to be practical.

Submitted 7 rolls of negatives to CVS next day service. I believe they're sale price will be 25 cents per print. This seems to be the same price as if we sent the rolls off to Mystic. Digital photos seem to be by far the cheapest way to go, especially if we use Dell ("Shutterfly"), Sony Image Station, or Kodak.

I've uploaded pictures from Steven Bernstein's and Christina's Farewell Party to Dell Picture Studio, which is much easier for me to use, perhaps because I've got a Dell computer? Need to keep in mind that only IE and Netscape are supported, though. Unfortunately, the auto-focus on my camera didn't work, and the pictures are unusable.
