We're back in the Big Apple this week, and fortunately there's a baseball game to keep us occupied. It's not just any game though; it's the bitter National League rivals, the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants, from the Polo Grounds (7:55 p.m., WPIX). You'll note that the game is proceeded by the pregame show with actress Laraine Day, and if you're wondering when she switched over to a sports host, it's because she's married to Giants manager Leo Durocher. In other family matters, Margaret Truman sits in for Edward R. Murrow on Person to Person (10:30 p.m., CBS), and her guests are: her parents, former President Truman and Bess. Talk about a cushy assignment! And the Thomas Dodd guesting on People's Lobby (7:00 p.m., WNHC) is the father of future U.S. Senator Christopher Dodd, who would go on to be the head of the Motion Picture Association of Amerca. See if you can find any other favorites from this week!

Very,very off-topic:
ReplyDeleteLast time I wrote, you congratulated me on "things getting better" with my confuser.
Not long after that - things got worse.
I'm writing to you now from a Google "Guest Blog" (or whatever they're calling it), on a grand-spanking new laptop that I had to buy when my old one died on me.
I'm in the process of trying to get this new demon machine to work properly; whether you get this or not - that's in the lap of the gods ...
My current status:
- I still can't access my Emails: When I try, I can't remember my passwords (any of them.
- I can't access Amazon: same reason.
- My only working phone is a '60s vintage wall phone with a rotary dial: no push-buttons (so no prompts) and no texting, thus useless for changing anything.
I have no idea of how to handle these conditions; the only thing that seems to have worked is Google Guest, and the jury's still out on that.
OK, I gotta see if this works, so everything on my end is up in the air.
Count three and pray ...
One . . . two . . .
