	Fingers are a bit rusty...
	So's my brain, have to kick it into gear...

	Shoulder shrugs, loosen up, relax, take a DEEP breath...

	Many of you may not realize the difficulty that a competitive
swimmer and movie fan goes through on a night when the Olympics and 
the original "JAWS" compete with my two-day-in-a-row video watching time.
And since I stayed up 'til practically midnight so I could watch 
Svetlana Bouganskaia in the floor exercise, everything is a bit 
jumbled up in the ol' noggin, so you'll just have to take it as 
it comes to me...

	Monday and Tuesday on the "Bold and the Beautiful"

	Janet Evans in the 400-meter freestyle.  Every single lap
she built up a body length on the German swimmer, who made most of it
up on the turns.  No wonder she lost (wish I could do a 400 in 4:07).
	Kent Ferguson pulls it out of the fire and makes the top 12 for 
the 3-meter springboard finals.  Sounds like he's been to a few EST 
seminars in the interview.
	Richard Dreyfuss goes overboard to inspect the battered boat,
finds a hole in the hull with a big tooth, and is startled by an ugly
'ol head (one of the great scenes in the history of movies!)
	
	Stephanie tells MamamiaMaria about plans for the party by the
pool.  Also says she's going to invite Jack Hamilton over as an appetizer,
um, make that for appetizers (i.e. early).
	Kristen (she's still here?) comes over to see Clarke in his designer's
hovel.  Clarke is sketching away the hours.  They kiss like two teenagers in
love (she's still with him?  I thought she tossed a drink in his face after
the clock switch!  TDB- totally dumb blonde!).  Kris tells Clarke that she
didn't sleep well AT ALL last night (there was a party going on), and Clarke
suggests she move in with him to relieve some anxiety and stress (and 
tension and a touch of priapism).  She says not 'til you get a life!  Clarke
says he will look in the want-ads.  He does and sees an article about the
Spectra/Garrison financial outlook.  Abstract:   In the dumper.  Clarke is
peeved, because he slept with Sally to make that company great!  He tells Kris
he needs to see "somebody" and will be back.
	Meanwhile at S/G, Jack Hamilton and Sally are distressing over the
financial report.  They're just reporting rumors, Jack says calmly.  The
problem with the rumors is that they're DAMN RIGHT!  SAlly says.  We haven't
got a holiday line or a cruise line or a bottom line or even a good pick-up
line!  Jack says there is a way out -- NO!  NO!  NO!   A thousand times NO!
I'm not playing the ponies at Santa Anita Raceway!  Sally insists.  Jack
says I didn't mean that, I meant rehire Clarke.   Sally says I won't even
consider it.  Darla intercoms in -- Clarke is at the gate.

	Matt Biondi drops from first to fifth in the final 10 meters of the
100-meter freestyle.  Jon Olsen, who the scoreboard says was third, finds
out later he was fourth.  A major bummer -- where have all the freestylers
gone?
	A dumb interview with Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
	Roy Scheider is chumming when Bruce the Shark surfaces.  He backs
into the cabin of Quint's (Robert Shaw's) boat and says "We need a bigger
boat."  Bruce cruises by the ORCA and Richard Dreyfuss says "that's a
20-footer" and Shaw says "25".

	Brooke is in the laboratory and Ridge comes in.  You wanted to
see me?  (She always does).  They Nike, no I mean Converse.  Brooke 
explains that she kept up her end of the deal, she moved back in with 
Eric (shouldn't they install a revolving door at the condo?).  She 
just wants Ridge to keep an "open fly", no I mean "open mind" until the
baby is born and they can establish paternity.  Ridge says it might not
be my baby.  Brooke says that's not the issue -- the issue is that he
never said he doesn't love her.  They still love each other and that's
why she'll never give up!  Ridge says "What's love got to do with it?"
Brooke says ooh, I love it when you sing Tina Turner, and the baby
does too;  he/she starts wiggling like Tina on stage.  Brooke invites
Ridge to experience this, and after reluctance, Brooke puts his hand
on her bare belly -- this was a touching scene, really -- and he
feels the baby move, she whispers "Pretty neat, huh?" and he smiles and 
says "Yeah, pretty neat," and she says "It's your baby, Ridge."  (I liked
this scene.)

	Kristina Egerzegi wins the 100-meter backstroke going away, USA
swimmer Lea Loveless is third.
	Bruce attacks the ORCA while the three men get drunk.

	Clarke comes in to see Sally.  Sally says that this is a
surprise.  He says they haven't talked about visitation rights for 
Clarkie Jr.  She says "Go jump!  You could care less about the fruit of 
your looms, you're here because the vultures are gathering over the S/G
carcass before the body is cold yet, and your lambasted ego can't stand
to see the company fold!  Well, I tell you bucko, I might just let it
go down just to let you squirm on the hook!"  Clarke says you can't do
that -- your life is the company.  Sally wavers.  Clarke says he's doing his
best work -- they could outsell Forrester.  Give me a six-month contract.
Sally thinks it over.  And at the end of six months, if we don't outsell
Forrester, I'm gone.  But if we do -- I get a 50-50 split of the company 
again.  Sally says no way, beat it, get lost, take a hike, don't let the
door hit you on the way out!  Clarke goes, and Sally trembles.
	Stephanie and Felicia discuss their respective love-lives.  
Felicia can't believe that Zach was about to do the nookie with her on the
beach, she left to get the sand out of her suit, and when she came back,
he was GONE!  Steph says dump the jerk.  Yeah, but I'm in LUV with him.
What about you and Jack?  What about you and Zach?  I asked first!  You
don't know enough about him.  Neither do you, nyeah nyeah.  Felicia says
that Zach won't be coming, Sly is "filling in for him".  Stephanie says
that the boys can take care of themselves, but she's old-fashioned, she
worries about the goils.

	Martin Zubero wins the 200-meter backstroke with a final rush
in the last 25 meters, and all of Espana goes nuts.  He sounds like a
California surfer in the post-race interview.
	Bruce dives with three barrels in him.


	Once again, too long for one post.   Tuesday's exciting episode
to follow!
