I was just thinking how we haven't seen Mary read emails in a while. This is thrilling! Today marks the official start of a new story and the possibilities are endless. However, I suspect she is off to the Philippines to rescue Wilbur who has just sent her a distressing message and needs money.

Please, please, PLEASE let it be our old pal, Ken Kensington. If she leaves for NY now, we'd surely get to see more of NYC at Christmas as she gets off the plane (floating heads!).
I keep hoping against hope that someday a new story line will reintroduce my favorite character of recent times, Aggressive Aggie from Pax Wellness. She'd certainly add a new note of aggrieved entitlement to the rarefied air of Charterstone...
Isn't it reassuring that Mary is such a technological conservative? Not one of those newfangled laptoppy-thingies for her, let alone one of those suspicious, flash-in-the pan tablets. We can take comfort in Mary's desktop PC with a giant keyboard assembled with dominoes. Some day she may upgrade to Windows XP, but she doesn't want to rush into anything.
Is is significant that Mary is contemplating MAKING a trip rather than TAKING a trip? And, although the thought of another fling with Broadway legend Ken Kensington is appealing, I think Mary will visit Bobby and Gina Black, who need Mary's help straightening out their wayward teenage daughter, Brandy Belle.
Always glad when we have a guest appearance by Mary's Giant Keyboard, backed up today by big black executive desk chair and tall bookcase loaded with heavy gray tomes. And it all seems to be situated at the foot of Mary's bed. Now that's restful sleeping decor!
In the background we hear Mary's 33K exernal modem whir and buzz to life!
Here's a fun activity most of us can participate in:
Place your hand lightly on your keyboard (sorry, phone or tablet people, you can go find a keyboard somewhere, like maybe the one that the guy behind the counter at the DMV uses...he'll let you use it for this experiment) with your wrist about even with the spacebar.
Now, note the location of your fingertips, particularly of the index, middle and ring fingers. Are they resting on any letter keys? If they are, Congrats! You have a Mary Worth keyboard (or maybe very tiny hands).
Did they every come up with the keyboard equivalent of the Jumbo button phone?
I knew I'd seen a keyboard like that before.

And what's up with that chair?? Where did the right armrest go?
But at least we're heading into a new story so...yay. (I'm not anticipating good things here so no caps for that expression of enthusiasm.)
ROAD TRIP! Yay! (I'm hoping for Syria.)
Start spreadin the news! Its time to visit NYC for more Ken Kensington muggings and John Dill cakes!
Why does Mary have a Scrabble board hooked up to her computer?
Nah, Wilbur is in Turkey.
Oh, noes, it's Olive.
Flower fairies! Yay! Tummy brains! Yay! I love the way Mary says LEAVING in bold.
Having given up on the Bum Boat's dreadful seafood menu, Dr. Jeff has opted for dessert and is eating an entire pie. I'm in favor of that! However, it's hard to tell from his expression if he's appalled or excited by Mary's announcement.
Wait. We learned during that dreadfully stupid story line that Olive had a psychic connection with Mary. So why did she have to send an email? Why not just rely on the ol' "brain-o-gram"?
At least with this turn of events, it's unlikely going to be a romantic dilemma for the old bat to 'consult' on... THAT'LL be a refreshing change.
