No joy

I got a late start this morning. Since we were down to straight white grapefruit juice, I decided to start things off slowly by taking a look at the special features on the DVD that Billy Friedkin sent me. I would have sworn that Allan Pakula directed it but anyway. I switched on the old Mitsu TV in the billiards room and got no joy. Just a ten second high-pitched tone that probably stirred the coyotes. I will wait for Manolo to take a look.
