I've been looking at this "raccoon" story. PSE&G have not said how they knew it was a raccoon. Did they go to the substation, open the door, and a raccoon ran out? Do they have it on video?

It looks like they got their hands on a raccoon that was killed in a trap and posed it in front of something power-y looking. Smells more like a cover-up than ever.

Ike isn’t here but this might be apt for him: Was walking near the south end of Sunset Park. The “weird” part near the BQE, train lines and near Bay Ridge. And there are huge megaphones playing played to death Christmas music to pretty much nobody.

One of the most saddest Christmas things I have ever seen/heard…

Bad Krampus Zero:

When I lived in Seattle one of the local movie theaters showed a double-feature of "It's A Wonderful Life" and "Holiday Affair" [with Robert Mitchum!] on Christmas. That was my Christmas tradition. One Christmas I also went to the Varsity Theater to see the new Gamera movie.

One Christmas the Young Fresh Fellows put together a two-night showcase at The Crocodile called "An Evenings In Edenbrook Forest." One of the Fellows had bought a set of godawful plastic medieval knight costumes at a thrift store and they needed an excuse to wear them during a show. That was the impetus for the showcase.

Okay, that was a downer. How about the time 10 years ago when I saw a very realistic Santa with a roll of bills in Rockefeller Center almost getting into a fight with a parent?

Don't fall into the "named show" trap, Therese!!
Some shows are good just as the host! Gaylord Fields, Irwin, Irene Trudel, Scott Williams, Brian Turner, etc.

Seriously, as a Jew-boy raised in Brooklyn my memories were just tons—and I mean TONS—of buildings filled with those electric Menorahs that have the orange light on them. I mean that’s my Hanukkah Harry memory right there.

I thought "Therese" was a good name. Are there any good nominations yet? That convey the spirit/style/vibe of the kind(s) of name you're looking for?

Following California's recall procedure, I vote "No" on changing the show name, but if it is changed, I vote in the 2nd question for: "Nothing Succeeds Like Therese".

"Nightlight with Therese"
"Way Past Bedtime with Therese"
"Weekend's End with Therese"
REALLY: What's wrong with "Therese"? The show doesn't have a "theme", which is really what a cute title communicates.
The identity of the show is your tastes and personality, like Gaylord's and Irene's and Irwin's shows; and those are some of the classiest shows, like this one. Sorry, but "Therese" is the classiest name you could have, and maybe the best. just sayin'

Like you my first choice is the current one: "Therese".

You could call it "Stan", but that name's taken.
