Mary Worth 2112

"This is part of my job, to kiss up to the NEW UNIVERSITY DIRECTOR! My job description is very specific. I have to invite the University Director to dinner and ask him to move into my apartment building."

There's been a lot of debate about what Hilton Berkes is actually the director OF. This fall, he will make his debut with "Death of a Salesman."

Ian's new Mantra: Toby will understand.

Toby will call Santa Royale Fried Chicken and the liquor store--both deliver.

The look on Hilton Berkes' face says "Oh yeah, I'm cashing in on the sweet rewards of my new job. A free dinner!"

I wonder if the young lady is in one of Ian Cameron's classes. They're both lugging the same unwieldy textbooks around. I'll bet the young lady's companion with the fancy phone has been bugging her to abandon print books and get down with e-books. She's resistant, just like Mary Worth. (She has a point, something is lost when you read Dr. Ian Cameron's 3 volume history of the harvesting of peat moss on a Kindle.)

The Director may get a free clown painting too along with dinner.

KIan sucks up to The Director (tm J. Edgar Hoover) in desparate hope of getting the tenure he was denied when he dumped his first wife for a blonde grad student (Amber, whom he dumped for Toby).

Ian, not Klan! (That's another story altogether, set in the 1960s, when Ian was a teaching assistant at Ole Miss.)

Let's all hope that Hilton Berkes, the new DIRECTOR of THE UNIVERSITY, will have a little too much to drink and will make a pass at Toby after dinner. Dr. Cameron's rage is always a crowd pleaser for faithful Mary Worth readers!

I'll hae Charterstone's unofficial manager efter ye!
