We have two furry cats. They're brother and sister. The male is orange and named Sundance. The other is Storm, and is a short, grey overweight female. She's tiny, but fat, and looks like a little furball. I'm not a fan of either cat, and they represent major compromises. The agreement was that I don't have to clean up after them. Of course, sometimes I have to when I'm the only one around, but generally, we try to ignore each other. Saturday was my birthday, but because one of my kids was gone, we decided to celebrate on Sunday. Nonetheless, I moped about all day Saturday, feeling like no one cared about my birthday. I can be pathetic like that. That night, I had trouble sleeping, so I got out a book I bought myself as a birthday present, and was reading in the living room at 2:00 AM. As I sat reading, Sundance walked into the middle of the living room and vomited a huge pile of regurgitated cat food. I thought, "Great. The perfect ending to the perfect day." And then Storm came over and ate the vomit.

I share this story because it isn't nearly as sickening as Zak and Iris today.

The dramatic comparison to be made here is not how happy Iris and Zak are compared to Wilbur, but how much better their food is than PanAm's in-flight menu.

Mary Worth 2755

Wait. I think I see a mountain peak actually hidden in the clouds! They're flying lower than they realize. Maybe Wilbur doesn't make it home after all. Either that, or we have to sit through another "survivor story."

"Fabiana..." [Move other passenger's coat, shove carryon in the wrong way, remove carryon, turn sideways, try again, shift other carryons, push hard, ask little old lady in aisle seat if you can climb in, wait for her to stow her book, unfasten her seat belt, and slowly step into the aisle, waddle toward window seat, plop down, raise window shade, fasten seat belt] "is NOT the 'LOVE OF MY LIFE!' How could I have been so FOOLISH?"

Mary Worth 2753

I don't know, she sounds pretty sincere. It's hard to know since we never saw what they were actually doing, but Wilbur, you may be walking away from the absolute best thing that's ever happened to you.

Mary Worth 2752

For someone who speaks English as a second-language, Pedro has remarkable comedic timing.

Mary Worth 2751

"No, we are cousins. That part was true."

Mary Worth 2750

Happy Thanksgiving, from Mary Worth and Friends!

... And from the Peanuts gang.

Mary Worth 2749

"Where's Pedro?" is the Colombian version of "Where's Waldo." Can you find Pedro on the Bogota Beach?

Mary Worth 2748

I really hope nothing surprising happens after he enters Pedro's studios.

Mary Worth 2747

Dang, I was really hoping we'd get more of Fabiana, but it looks like she's gone for good. I'm surprised that Wilbur hasn't figured that out, but just one block away from Joyeria and she's nowhere to be found.

Mary Worth 2746

Next she'll ask for a boat to sail around Bogota Bay.

Mary Worth 2745

Just like in The Gift of the Magi, Wilbur has sold his silky combover to purchase the ring for Fabiana. Unlike the The Gift of the Magi, Fabiana doesn't care.

Mary Worth 2744

I'm almost positive that Empleado de Joyería is another one of Fabiana's cousins. She's very good at drumming up business for the family.

Mary Worth 2743

Maybe if Wilbur stopped living so high on his Santa Royale Tribune expense account, he wouldn't keep meeting gold diggers.

Mary Worth 2742

I like Fabiana even more today. Boy, she knows what she's doing. She's figured out that this guy could skip out of the country at any moment, and she wants to make sure he is heavily invested in sticking around. A $30,000 emerald ring seems like a reasonable request. Go, Fabiana, go!

Mary Worth 2741

Wilbur has been traveling around the world for over a year, living in hotels and eating room service. So clearly, money isn't the reason for his hesitation as they pick out an engagement ring. Perhaps, deep inside, he still has feelings for Iris. Those two kids have broken up a lot more than they've gotten together, and I for one, can't get enough of their discomfirture.

Mary Worth 2740

When Iris was first dating Zak, wasn't he like 22? It really does appear that our theory is correct: The reason he has accomplished so much so quickly is that he is living in a different time-space continuum than Iris. I've said it before (Sunday recaps), Zak will be Iris's age in time for the wedding. He's flying through time at rocket speed, and she's crawling through time like a snail on a fence. It's been years since I pulled out the ol' Dharma Initiative tag, but I think is appropriate.

Mary Worth 2739

Looks like Zak traded in his new Porsche for my 1997 Volkswagen New Beetle.

Mary Worth 2738

I can't tell you how relieved I am to learn this morning that Zak and Iris really are just drinking coffee. Extra-marital relations are the domain of characters like Charley Smith, Nola Wolvenson, and Entertainer Esme. It's how we know they're bad.

Sometimes a cup of coffee really is just a cup of coffee.

Mary Worth 2737

Don't worry. It's Sanka!

Mary Worth 2736

It's been a busy 9 months for Zak. He developed a game of some sort that has made him millions of dollars; founded and staffed Zakiks Studios; and moved from his parents' house into a 12th-floor luxury apartment. Meanwhile, Iris Skyped with her other ex-boyfriend twice, and Mary went on a four-day cruise with Toby. If Iris and Zak get married, will Zak age at a faster rate until he catches up with her? Will Iris and Tommy have to visit him once a week in the nursing home?

Mary Worth 2735

Wow. This is some kind of retaliation date? This woman is messed up. Wilbur dodged a bullet. And Zak deserves what he gets.

Mary Worth 2734

What? No valet? What kind of dive is La Rosa anyway?

Mary Worth 2733

Let's face it. You've broken up with Wilbur at least twice. Then you broke up with Zak. And now you feel sorry for yourself that Wilbur "broke up" with you after you broke up with him and Zak? I just don't understand women. As portrayed in Mary Worth.

Mary Worth 2732

Interesting because of all the characters in the Worthiverse, these are the two I've missed the least. I hope they get married soon so they can disappear forever.

Mary Worth 2731

Seriously, Zak, it isn't polite to use that word while people are eating.

Mary Worth 2730

Zakiks sounds like a Flappy Bird game, but there's a vomiting cat instead.

Mary Worth 2729

This is ironic coming from the woman who apparently never knows what she wants.
