Angels of the Morning

Began the morning with breakfast and The Busy World of Richard Scarry. Big bulldog Mr. Tough substitutes for Huckle's teacher Miss Honey while she's away. Like Billy Dog in the first season, he seems demanding at first, until the he takes the kids on to find fossils and show why he's been pushing them. The pharaoh demands that Imhotep build "The First Pyramid" as a monument to him. Imhotep gets so caught up, he neglects his son Timhotep. The boy, however, is the one who makes him realize what's wrong with his design. Speaking of Billy, he's nervous when his mother goes on "The First Date" at an amusement park with a gas station attendant. He considers the date to be a test, but let's say the fellow passes with flying colors.

I wasn't sure what Mother Nature was going to do, so I took Uber to work. Though the driver arrived in five minutes, he didn't know about the repairs on Nicholson. He went all the way around to the Black Horse Pike, and I was almost late. I had a harder time getting a driver at 5:30. The first one canceled, and the second took fifteen minutes to arrive. At least Nicholson was open by then, and there was no traffic going home.

My 8 1/2 hour shift was quiet until the evening rush hour hit around 4-4:30 and everyone stopped for groceries on the way home. Thankfully, other than putting a few cold items away, I spent most of the day outside pushing carts or sweeping inside. It showered very lightly around 11:30-12, but was otherwise killer humid, cloudy, and far cooler than it has been, in the lower 70's. 

Worked on the inventory after I changed. Started the soundtrack CDs with the animated Disney Aladdin, the original animated Anastasia, Animaniacs, and the 1982 Annie. Anastasia was a Christmas present in 1997, the year the movie came out. I loved the movie and its soundtrack so much, I begged Mom for it all that December, and I've had the CD ever since. I don't remember when or where I got Annie from anymore. It was either the Borders that used to be just outside of the Hamilton Mall, the FYE at the Hamilton Mall, or an early Abbie Road find when he was still in Collingswood. 

I broke for dinner promptly at 7 PM. I wasn't going to miss tonight's Match Game Syndicated episodes. They got to that wild week with Ginger, the sweet contestant who gave some of the strangest answers I ever heard. Even she realized how strange her answer to the question about what a jock centipede wears on his feet, and then there was how Roger Dobowitz spelled her answer...

Finished the night after a shower on The Roku Channel with Charlie's Angels. "Angel Baby" gets fairly dark for this show when a young Air Force officer whom Kelly helped out during her years as a cop ends up in jail after trying to find his pregnant girlfriend. She was going to give her baby to a shady company that claimed it would find a family to adopt it. Turns out it's a front for a traffic in black-market adoptions. Kelly goes straight to the heart of the matter as an unwed mother, Sabrina and Bosley pose as a wealthy couple hoping to adopt a child, and Kris as a desperate woman trying to ferret out the head of the organization and the murderous thug who works for him.
