UPDATE for TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1992

bwa hahahahaha

Last week you thought I'd only be around for a week.  And yesterday
you thought you'd only have to put up with me two WEEKS in a row.
Well boys and girls I have something REALLY scary to tell you, now you
have to deal with me two DAYS in a ROW!!!!!  This is going to be quick
because it's late and I have two days off coming.  I don't want to
spend all my time doing your update.  SORRY :] :]

{ my cynical (or insightful) comments are in brackets }

OUR TOP STORIES TODAY
 
     * House shopping - couple 1

     * House shopping - couple 2

     * WOOPS - make that house shopping couple 3

     * "Hi there little brother"

* House shopping - couple 1

     The realtorbusters are hanging around the realtorbuster (RB)
branch office.  { Translated that means that Brooke, Edmund, Tom,
Livia, Derrek, Lucas, Galen, and Mimi are all at Brooke's office }. 
Terrance reads the copy of his article for the school paper and they
all love it.  They tell him it's ready for press and he leaves to meet
the 3:00 deadline.   

     Lucas and Mimi are leaving for their appointment with the
realtor.  They are an recently engaged couple.  Lucas, being the
succe$$ful architect that he is, will be willing to buy any house that
his love wants.  Derek is a bit -- unhappy about the situation but he
doesn't make any complaints and Lucas and Mimi go house shopping.
They act like they REALLY love the house and the realtor tries to get
them to look at ANOTHER house that's JUST as nice in a different area
with MUCH LOWER taxes.  Lucas asks Mimi how she feels about the house
and she says she LOVES it.  They make an offer of the asking price and
the realtor goes to the car to make a call to the manager.  

* House shopping - couple 2

     The remaining RBs are hanging around Brooke's office, waiting for
Trevor and Nat to come to be briefed - they are to be the next couple
to shop for the house -- HOWEVER

     Nat and Trevor show up and Myrtle's.  They give her the bad news
and Ceara is dead.  The funeral is closed - immediate family and
close friends only so they don't want anyone else in town to know for
now.  Myrtle, Nat, and Trevor leave for Corinth and Brian promises
he'll take care of things and he won't tell anyone.  Trevor calls
Brooke to tell him he and Nat can't go house shopping.  

* WOOPS - make that house shopping couple 3

     Well, we've just lost the white couple so after a bit of
discussion it's decided that Brooke and Edmund will be the recently
engaged white couple looking for a house.  Livia and Tom notice that
Brooke REALLY doesn't want to play happy couple with Edmund but she IS
an investigative reporter so she goes to do her job.  

     We never hear what the realtor told Mimi and Lucas, and we never
see Brooke and Edmund with the realtor.

* "Hi there little brother"

     "Ted" is hanging out at the hospital with his mom.  They don't
have the test results back and "momIII" tells Tad to go look at the
babies.  

     Dixie goes to visit Palmer, Opal, and "Peter William".  Gloria is
there and when Opal tells Dixie PWs name Gloria looks like someone
pumped all the air out of her.  ANYWAY, Opal is going on and on about
how happy she is and Dixie starts to cry.  She misses Jr. SO much.

     Tad is outside Opal's room and hears Dixie crying - for some
reason { Twilight Zone music on } he starts to hear Dixie's voice
singing "You Are My Sunshine."  

     Dixie calms down a bit and Gloria takes PW to take him back to
the neo natal unit.  As she leaves the room she runs into - who else -
TAD. She asks if he needs anything and he says "Coming from someone
that looks like you that's a loaded question (beat) sorry."  She
mentions the Cortlandts { slight memory nudge there perchance? }.  But
he says he was just walking around.  He looks at PW and says somthing
like "Hi there little brother."  

     Tad goes back to his moms room (he can only visit her for 10
minutes every hour).  She's VERY sick and will HAVE to stay in Pine
Valley for a few WEEKS!!

     Dixie comes out and is crying in Gloria's arms.  Brian comes up
and Brian and Dixie go off together.
