Watched 'The Bourne Ultimatum' in its entirety last night. I'm exhausted.

Re 'Leverage' - how can a company with some 500 employees not have at least ONE person who knows who Emma Peel and John Steed are? On the other ep, what a perfect musical selection to base the ep on. I do like me some 'Scheheradze'.

I do not, however, like my DVR right now. At least with regard to TNT. Leverage didn't record Sunday. It did last Sunday, no problem. It appeared on the recording schedule. But it didn't record. Checking it, it says it's set to record new AND old eps. I set it to record only new ones. And instead it records nothing. Meanwhile, 'Men of a Certain Age' and 'The Closer' were also set to record new eps only. The recording schedule says it's programmed to record old MOCA eps, but isn't set to record new Closer eps. WTF is going on?

Could say that about my Verizon account, too. It's refusing to recognize my user name and password. Same ones that worked fine yesterday, but it won't take them. So I tried signing on with my phone number. It says my phone number doesn't exist. That number has existed and been assigned to me/my family since 1971, thanks. Tried customer support and got a message that they were closed...at 10am ET on a Wednesday. Blast it. 

Got quite pounded upon at PT last night. Last time for a couple weeks, they couldn't squeeze me in the next two, so we'll see how it goes. I do seem to have lost a couple of pounds in the meantime. 

Beautiful day in the neighborhood today. 80, sunny, no humidity. Ah, sweet paradise...

I was going to begin this comment with the words "Men of a certain age......" and then noticed the exact wording is in your journal LOL.
So.....to men of a certain age...in my case 58. "Emma Peel" is a magical name. Ive said too much.

Hmmm, Fitz's weakness identified...*stores info for future use*

My mother is quite a fan of 'Men of a Certain Age', even though the men of that show are more my age (40 something) than hers (almost 70).

oh Emma Peel is only about 10% of my weaknesses. Others include Mary Tyler Moore, Kate Jackson, Pam Dawber (Mindy), Cindy Williams (Shirley in Laverne & Shirley) Lauren Tewes (Julie in the Love Boat)Elizabeth Baur (Fran Belding in Ironside) Erin Gray (Wilma Deering in Buck Rogers).
I am a VERY weak man.

Well, at least you're a weak man with good taste in women you age :)

All those women speak highly of me too.
I could sense they wanted me to rescue them from bullying bosses etc.
They seemed to be reaching out to me saying "help me Fitzjames Horse"

Well I have no idea what Leverage you are talking about or who Steed and Peel are. :)

That works better if the bold I put in showed up clearer :)

Steed and Peel - The Avengers!

Leverage - a very nifty series here in the States about criminals who stage elaborate scams for good causes. Very witty and entertaining.
