You're in LUCK! <Well.. lemme amend that... unless ya consider a
sinus infection to BE lucky!> (grin).

The PD segment of Leeza is going to air anytime from today thru the
next three weeks, or so we were told.

I have no idea if it DID air today, 'cause dammit, I forgot to stop
at the market on my way home from Paramount Studios yesterday and to
pick up some cat food.  When I woke up today, I rushed downstairs and
flipped on the TV, to check out Leeza, and both Scooter and Buzzy
none-too-subtly reminded me that they were awaiting their breakfast!

Without even stopping to take my meds, I rushed out to the market
intending to just get some cat food, and here I am, $52 poorer!
Needless to say, m'dear, as long as I was already IN the market, I
did some marketing!

Hope you're feeling better!
