Windy Matches

Began the morning with breakfast and The Busy World of Richard Scarry. Impressed by how Mr. Parcel brings packages to the neighborhood, Lowly and Huckle become "Triple A Deliveries" and do some delivering themselves. After an argument over which package to prioritize, Huckle claims he can do the delivering himself...but finds it's a lot harder to do everything alone. "Stanley's Amazing Photo" will be of the Wright Brothers' first flight, if he can convince his boss that it's the real deal. Sally, Huckle, and Lowly become "Lost In the Swamp" while looking for their granny's house. Mr. Cat follows them to help them out.

Headed off to work just as the cartoon ended. Work wasn't bad when I got in, but it picked up considerably as the morning continued. One manager told me to do returns, which I did...only for another to claim the carts were empty. I should have been doing the carts all along and left the returns to a weekday when we have time to do them. Rushed out after I finished sweeping and just got them all done. At least it was a nice day for all the rushing around, blustery but sunny and warmer, into the lower 60's. 

Soon as I got home, I changed and put on Dot and the Koala. I go further into the fourth entry in the Australian Dot animated film series at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog.


Stayed at YouTube to finish the night with today's Match Game marathon. Considering how often Gene insisted people weren't supposed to be eating on camera, there was a lot of food talk on this show. Charles got caught several times eating during the show. Once in a syndicated episode, a kiwi seller brought his bright green, fuzzy wares for everyone to try. At the end of another syndicated show, Betty White and opera star Diana Sorvino handed spaghetti and meatballs out to the cast. 

Another time, Richard ate the apple someone gave Brett. There was also when Avery Schriber ate his bad answer, and Gene ran over and beat up a cameraman to get him to turn away, and the episode with many jokes about Fannie Flagg's t-shirt with fried eggs in the obvious places. Lyle, a go-getter from Las Vegas with the worst toupee this side of Howard Cosell, annoyed the heck out of the panel (especially Ed Asner and Richard Dawson) in mid-1976. 

Come to our dinner party and enjoy the kiwi and spaghetti in this marathon that's guaranteed to make you hungry!
