Hurried off to the Collingswood Farm Market after the cartoon ended. The Farm Market is down to its last three weeks. It always ends the Saturday before Thanksgiving. As such, there were far more booths selling crafts than there were dairy or produce. Grapes, corn, and the dairy booth are gone, but I was still able to buy whole wheat bread, a tasty soft pretzel ring, sweet little Empire apples, and crunchy Asian pears. I even found a Christmas present for Lauren at one of the craft booths.
Stopped at WaWa for a drink on the way home. Considering the Farm Market was hopping, they weren't bad. I was able to pick up a Cherry Coke Zero, use the self-checkout registers, and move on quickly.
Went straight home after that. Watched Care Bears Family on Tubi while getting ready for work. After they have an accident on their roller skates, Gram tells the cubs the story of the "Perils of the Pyramid." Two brave and careful cubs help Professor Brave Heart learn that it's better to look before you leap when they enter a pyramid full of traps in order to find a lost crown. It's "Bedtime for Care-a-Lot" when No Heart puts the Care Bears to sleep with his sleeping sand. If Bedtime can't wake up his friends, they'll sleep forever!
Hurried off to work after the cartoon ended. I thought I was supposed to be helping in the floral department today, but for some reason, I ended up bagging, even though there were already three baggers. While I did sweep and gather carts, I spent most of the day shelving a full cart of unwanted items. I wish the managers would make up their minds. One tells me to do one thing, another says to do something else, and then someone else will give me still another assignment. They really need to start getting organized over there and making a few ground rules about who is in charge of what.
The weather wasn't even all that great. It was cool, cloudy, and windy all day, though not as cold as it had been earlier in the week. The sun didn't even try to come out until late in the afternoon, when I was riding home.
Went straight home and into Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile on Amazon Prime. I go further into this adorable adaptation of the popular children's books about a singing crocodile who lives with a family in a New York City brownstone at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog.
Worked on writing after the movie ended. Cora prefers spending time in the library or the kitchen, helping with meals, than with her status-obsessed fiancee. She's also glad to catch glimpses of the hunchback, who chops wood and cleans pots in the kitchen. The housekeeper scolds him for being slow and lazy, but Cora sees the heavy loads he carries and thinks he's a very hard worker.
Finished the night after a shower and dinner with friends at YouTube for tonight's Match Game Saturday Classics marathon. Comedian and impressionist Richard Paul was one of the most popular semi-regulars of the late 70's and early 80's. He started off early in 1978 when Richard Dawson was still on the show, and actually appeared on Richard's second-to-last week that June.
He did most of his best work in 1979 and during the syndicated series. In fact, he appeared in one of the best episodes of the syndicated run. Betty White turns up in a red dress to show off her gams, and Sharon Farrell accidentally ends up on top of him when "mud" is the answer for what type of wrestling should be an Olympic sport. He was on the 1979 episode shown on Buzzr a while back where Darryl Anderson showed off his putty nose and an especially witty contestant claimed she wanted to be Charles Nelson Reilly. He really loved his hats and goofy Hawaiian shirts. He sported an Irish brogan on one episode and a straw cowboy hat in at least two others. Once, he traded the flowered shirts for a t-shirt that said "Sho Bizness Is My Life."
Head to Carter Country and beyond with this sweet and talented country comedy charmer!
