Hurried out to the Farm Market after the episode ended. They were less than an hour from finishing when I arrived, and it was still busy with people buying produce for their back to school meals and Labor Day barbecues. The fall produce is just starting to roll out. I saw the first winter squash, squash flowers, and pumpkins of the year along with the piles and piles of tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, corn, zucchini, yellow squash, and potatoes. Pears have emerged with the apples, plums, grapes, and berries. I got small gala apples and raspberries again, along with round Asian pears.
I also treated myself to another cream bar from the Bubba's Creamery cart; got coconut this time. Oh yum. I think this one was even better. It was just sweet enough, with tons of shredded coconut.
Since the Kismet Bagels booth was out of almost all their wares, I went down to Haddon Avenue to buy bagels right from their shop. As it turned out, I couldn't get IN their shop. They were so busy, the line was almost out the door. I ended up at Haddon Culinary, which also sells bagels. I did get the bagels and a Coke Zero, but they forgot to put my butterscotch bread slice in the bag.
Rushed back home for a very quick lunch. Started watching Thanks for the Memory as I ate and got ready for work. I go further into this comedy about a writer whose wife goes back to work so he can focus on his novel at my Musical Dreams Movie Reviews blog.
Dashed to work after I ate and just barely made it on time. To be honest, I had to agree with one of my co-workers that we could have been a lot busier on a holiday weekend. Everyone must have taken advantage of the continuing perfect weather and either headed for the Shore, or at least went on outings. I had no trouble sweeping or gathering carts. There was even a Cub Scout and his troop selling popcorn.
Oh, and I got my schedule. I'm mostly focusing on the school opening next week, so I only work on the weekends. One of those weekend days is an 8 1/2 hour day next Saturday! I'm dreading that. They couldn't have gotten the head bagger or someone else to work with me? I haven't done an 8 1/2 hour day in ages.
Went straight home after that and into the shower. Finished the night with dinner and watching the Match Game marathon on YouTube. Tonight we saw episodes that the channel owner thinks are underrated or not discussed as often. My favorite was the week in 1974 with Robert Morse, where the randy little redheaded contestant kept trying to kiss Fannie and Brett. Charles and Richard did their best to protect the ladies. There was also the episode from late in 1973 when Gene wore the gray and white checked suit with the pink shirt and bow tie that, as Brett and Pat Harrington pointed out, made him look like half of a vaudeville team. Gene was still wearing ugly plaids and checks as late as 1978. Mary Wickes insisted when she saw his latest attempt at sartorial splendor that "somewhere a horse is mighty chilly." Jimmie Walker had a crush on a very pretty lady in 1974 who made her own clothes.
You never know what wacky panelist will be in the spotlight next in this hilarious look back!
