   	Aw, now, see, I didn't know that.  While I was off in Singapore   
   I didn't keep close track of the characters as discussed around here,   
   and one- or two-week visits home gave me plenty of room to miss him.   
   Plus I don't think I've seen 30 Rock yet ...

   	You could be right.  Neatly enough on Tuesday I saw him as   
   a guest on the repeat of a November show.

   	And now the question is why can't Tivo figure out I would want   
   to see things like that?  Rhetorical question, I know.  The Tivo is too   
   busy recording every 'This Old House' ever made for my dad.
