Hurried out after the cartoon ended. It was later than planned, and I had errands to run. Started by dashing quickly into WaWa for money. I got a Pina colada smoothie, too. Yum. Sweet, cool, and more like a milkshake than a smoothie.
The Collingswood Farm Market was still busy with people buying produce for barbecues and birthday parties, despite the late hour and it being very humid and much cooler. Cherries, raspberries, and strawberries are gone, but I did see the first local cantaloupes and Granny Smith apples of the season. Grabbed nectarines, blackberries, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, and a chicken empanada for lunch. Wanted a pretzel ring from the Lost Bread Co. booth for a treat, but they were out of them. Their rye brownie was even tastier, thick, rich, and fudgey. Stopped to buy individual carnations from the plant seller for a friend who loves flowers and has been working very long and hard lately.
Went straight into Donald and the Wheel and lunch when I got home. I go further into this Disney educational short with several catchy songs at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog.
Headed to work soon as the cartoon ended and I got organized. I took my bike and arrived just in time. Though I did have to put away a cartful of meat and seafood someone didn't want, I mainly swept the store or pushed carts. The carts badly needed to be done. There were none left when I got in, probably because the head bagger was in a register. I didn't have help until about a half-hour before I left, and that was only because they pulled the guy working self-checkout to go outside. Frankly, by the time he got outside, it had long slowed down, and I was just about done with the carts.
At least the clouds we had all day cooled things off. It was in the mid-80's, normal for this time of year. It remains killer humid, though. It spit a little bit late this afternoon, but I never felt any other signs of rain.
Rushed home and into the shower, then had dinner and finished the night watching YouTube. Tonight's Match Game marathon also incorporated episodes of various versions of Password in honor of Bob Newhart, the beloved TV and nightclub comedian who passed away on Thursday. Newhart first turned up on the 60's Password, playing against Eydie Gorme in one of his earliest appearances.
Though Newhart wasn't quite unbuttoned enough for Match Game, other actors who appeared on his shows did turn up there. Marcia Wallace and Bill Daily, who starred in The Bob Newhart Show as Bob's efficient secretary Carol and nutty neighbor Howard respectively, were semi-regulars on Match Game and The Match Game-Hollywood Squares Hour. Daily quit after Squares Hour, but Marcia Wallace not only continued appearing through 1991, she was one of the best things about the 1990-1991 run. Long-time TV character actor Tom Poston, who would later appear as handyman George Utley on Newhart, did one week on Match Game in 1976 and another on Squares Hour in 1984.
Honor the buttoned-down mind of a man beloved by too-tall elves and globe-trotting librarians alike in this hilarious and rare marathon!
