I just finished watching Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip for this week. This  weeks show was great,  much better than last week,  you should really watch it. I neglected to mention that Studio 60 had been picked up for a full season. I hope that it builds an audience.


I forgot to mention in my previous post the excitment of chasing down the Nicky, Nicky Nine Door hoodlums. We have been having a bit of trouble lately with the doorbell ringing and no one being there when we answer.  When I pulled into the driveway tonight my headlights illuminated two kids hightailing it across my driveway and down the street. I parked the car and after checking that I could still see them I ran down the street in the direction they had taken. I silenced the pocketful of loonies and toonies that I had to not give the game away. I was far enough behind them that I'm sure they didn't know I had followed them and thought had made good their escape. I expected to see them disappearing in the distance as I rounded the corner at the cross street. Imagine my surprise to see them crouched down on the sidewalk. Evidently there level of fitness wasn't much higher than mine. I stopped crouched down and confronted them. I suggested that they avoid my house in the future. It was all very civil, no harsh words were exchanged. They seemed a bit rattled, apologized and we parted. My wife thought I had let them off too easy but they seemed contrite after I caught them.


When I got home my wife informed me that it was the second time that night that the doorbell had rung with no one being there. Their insistence that it was the first time that they had rung my doorbell made more sense. Of course they were lying. Maybe getting caught will make it less fun for them and they'll find something more constructive to do with their time. I think I'll dig out my video camera and point it at the front door just in case. The next time they drop by I can catch them on tape. Then I'll atke my tape to their high school and show it to the principal, that should convince them of the error of their ways.
