I'm am also happy to see this.  We are closing in on AW and
I hope someone at NBC is noticing that their baby DOOL is

What's I think I love about this show, they are so witty.  You have to
listen and pay attention.  They treat their viewers intelligently.

Well this is better news.  I hope she stays.  The politial

hope they (the storyline decision makers) don't kill it.

Gif had the manager let him into Trisha's hotel room so he could surprise
her with a nice lunch.  He told the manager that he was her fiance.  When
Trisha came home she was angry that Gif was there.  She told him she wanted
to be alone and that they could only be friends.  Gif acted like it was OK
but he went home in a fit of anger.  When he got there he argued with the
portrait of Trisha.  He hallucinated that Trisha told him that she loved
him and only him and that Christopher was keeping them apart because
he was a bond to Trucker.  He proceed to go to an adoption agency claiming
that his sister had a baby six months ago and had tried to take care of
it, but just couldn't do it anymore.  He became enraged when the adoption
agency informed him that his sister would have to personally come to the
agency for counseling and signing of the papers that he (Gif) could not
take care of it for her.  A woman in the waiting room of the agency
overheard the conversation and followed Gif out.  She and her husband
had been trying to have children for years and had just found out it
would take 5 or 6 years to get a child through adoption.  Having heard 
the agency turn Gif away she ask him if they could arrange a private
adoption.  Gif said she would have a baby within the week.

Isabelle went to the bowling alley to get Dinahlee to help her find Clay.
She and Dinahlee argued and Dinahlee told her she'd never help her -
that Clay left to get away from his own mother.  She made some wisecracks
about Isabelle's mothering abilities and Isabelle slapped her.  In the
meantime Gwyn is off with Armond at Tim's old home trying to find out who
he is and what Isabelle is hiding.

Leo proposed to Ava and at first she told him she had to think - but then
decided to go for it.  They're so cute together.  Casey found out and got
very upset, but Allie talked to him and tried to help.  Allie and Casey 
appear to be becoming good friends.

        YES, those brackets were my editorial comment and NO, I

        Patsy was really getting into her role of portraying this

        The only thing I heard about Arleen Sorkin is that she
        would love to come back to daytime on a more permanent
        basis but DAYS has only asked her for 8-10 scenes.  It
        doesn't seem like she's going to be on that much.  Where
        is she?  She wasn't given a reason as to why she was
        axed from "America's Funniest People".  She said she
        figured the show just wanted another female to stand

Actually, she said that he wouldn't call the FBI if he was involved with
taking Glory.  I'm surprised that the he was able to get the FBI involved
so fast -- that would make me very suspicious.  Isn't it at least 24 hours
before the police will act on a missing person?

I tend to agree with you on this one.  I was incredibly disappointed with 
ConRail also.  I don't quite know why she has this problem of not knowing 
when to keep her mouth shut.  Moreover, if she was so convinced that Cork 
would figure everything out anyhow (as she explained to Scooter) why did 
she jeopardize her relationship in the first place?  The poor kid showed a 
serious lapse in judgment here.  Now who is she going to date, Archie?

Oh, I MISS Steve!  I wish they'd never killed him off -- not
only was the actor that played him absolutely gorgeous, but he
and Trisha together were the cutest couple (maybe that's why they
killed him -- the two of them were rather "blond and bland" at
times) -- how did he die, anyway?  I can't remember now, but I
DO remember that was part of the reason I stopped watching the

Well, ahem....

...I dropped The Kid off at her institution of higher learning (UNH in
Durham, NH) *TUESDAY THE 25TH*!

Of course, she was going to Freshman Camp first, but classes start for
her on the first of September.  They start here at Plymouth on the 8th
or 9th.

Maybe PVU is on a quarter system?  Have we heard them mention
semesters?

BTW, when I dropped Amanda off, neither one of us dissolved into
tears, so I think we did pretty well.  I miss her (it's just me and
the cat now), but I haven't had time to get lonely!  Any other ratsers
with college-age kids out there?
