WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, IT'S SO LONG RED SOX ONCE AGAIN. THE FICKLE FANS OF NEW ENGLAND WATCHED THEIR BELOVED LOSE TO TB LAST NIGHT. WHAT WE ALL NEED TO KEEP IN MIND IS WE'VE WON TWICE OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS - IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FUN TO WIN AGAIN, BUT I GUESS IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE. SO IT'S BACK TO THE PATS ONCE AGAIN (WITH FINGERS CROSSED)

IT WAS A BRISK SATURDAY IN MANHATTAN, YET PERFECT FOR TOURISTS. A GOOD TIME TO TACKLE THE STAIRS OF LADY LIBERTY, A TOUR OF ELLIS ISLAND, THE FINAL SIX FLOOR ASSENT TO THE TOP OF THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, AND A WALK TO THE WTC SITE. ALTHOUGH MOST TOURISTS SPREAD OUT THIS KIND OF DAY OVER SEVERAL DAYS, IT WAS A MISSION TO GET YOUNG JULIA TO VISIT HER LAST TOURIST STOP ON HER VISIT TO AMERICA - AND WHAT A TOUR SHE GOT!!!

THE DOCTOR, WHILE RESTING STIFF LEGS, HAS BEEN BUSY COMPOSING ONCE AGAIN FOR THE GALA SPARTAN FESTIVITIES DUE TO TAKE PLACE THIS WEEKEND. SO GET THOSE VOICES READY AS WE'LL SHARE SOME FUN AND CREATIVE MUSIC MAKING TOGETHER (AS LONG AS WENDELL PACKS THE MUSIC MACHINE)

WITH A BIT OF LUCK, YOU'LL ENJOY SOME OF YOUR ALL TIME FAVORITES (OR NOT SO FAVORITES) SUCH AS RING OF FIRE (WENDELL'S 40TH BIRTHDAY ANTHEM) MRS SPARTAN, SPARTANIAN RHAPSODY (FREDDIE MERCURY WILL ROLL OVER SEVERAL TIMES ON THIS ONE) WE WILL SURVIVE (POOR GLORIA GAYNOR) THE FIRST HIT IS THE HARDEST, MAMA SPARTA, AND WITH LUCK IF I CAN FIND THE WORDS, MAN, I FEEL LIKE A SPARTAN.

BRING YOUR RICOLA - YOU'LL NEED IT!
