There never was a Stratford Inn, Dr. Robert Harley dreamed it up.  Still, he wishes his wife, Emily, would wear more sweaters, like his dream wife did.  ;)

Then I watched today's THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. Philip and Chance had their father/son talk which was interesting if more reserved than I expected it to be. Philip also had a good talk with his mother, a civil talk for a change without her hurling epithets at him.

Also watched the Luke scenes in AS THE WORLD TURNS. They didn't accomplish very much. Luke is still going to work for Damien.

And I skimmed through ONE LIFE TO LIVE, but there was no Kyle or Fish, so no interest for me.

Okay, I had to call Mark on the phone for clarification. I didn't realize you were already referring to the second Newhart series when you first mentioned the Japanese food - hence my confusion. I thought it was Dr. Robert Hartley in the original series who ate the Japanese food. Oops! Mark tells me even Suzanne Pleshette appeared in that finale. That must have been funny - I wish I had seen it.

Dick Solomon and his family go back to their home planet, but not before he reveals to Mary Albright that he's an alien from outer space.

Oh, Amy!  You must, simply MUST see the series finale of NEWHART!  (not THE BOB NEWHART SHOW, though Emily Hartley's appearance makes it that finale as well in a post-modern way)!  It's one of the most humorous episodes of any television series, what with the Japanese coming into Vermont to build a golf course and of course, the "Japanese food before bed" routine.

I'm hopping off-line to try to pull some words out of my brain to make a semi-sensible write-up of MISS MARCH. This is the hardest part of the job, I find, and unlike some who enjoy poking at poor films, I find it a disagreeable project.

Mike Flaherty takes the fall for the Mayor when he gives the sanitation contract to someone connected with the Mob? Or something like that. And I think Mike moves to Washington DC and takes on some guy named Alex P. Keaton.

Yes, Mark says it's one of the most famous finales ever. He thinks I might be able to find it on YouTube or something like that. I'll try. Hmmmm..."Japanese food before bed"...sounds like a BRUCE KIMMEL song. No wait...that's "Chinese Food in Bed." Sorry.

Here is the website for Stephen Schwartz's opera, Séance on a Wet Afternoon.   There are a few sound clips scattered around the site.

And there are videos on Facebook.

TOD:

I did own a leisure suit.  And that is the closest I will get to ever being trendy.


But just buying it last week, defeats the the trendy part!

I had an e-mail from a CD purchaser telling me she'd purchased two CDs from us and received them a month ago and that both of them arrived with "smashed" cases and that we should be more careful in how we ship.  First of all, why did it take a month to write the e-mail?  Second of all, I'm at a loss as to how to be more careful than using expensive cardboard boxes to ship CDs, other than encasing them in steel boxes.  We obviously have no control over how the USPS manhandles them.  Third of all, we've really only heard about two other cases of "smashed" cases, and since one of them involved six CDs, I asked them to return them, which he did, and I replaced them.  Those six CD cases, which were described to me as "smashed to smithereens", had a couple of hairline cracks - that was the worst of it - and most of them only had one barely discernible hairline crack.  It just makes you wonder - these handful of people never write to tell you they've enjoyed the CD, just that the cases arrived "smashed."  Since this latest gal doesn't want to return them or get replacements, well, I can only imagine how "smashed" they really are.


Maybe she was "smashed."

I forgot to wish ***SAFE & EASY TRAVEL VIBES*** this morning to DR FJL.  I hope that he and his friends are enjoying a fine repast right now and looking forward to a delightful evening of theatre.

Will you see him post-show, DR td?
