Mary Worth 3411

I'm sure nothing will give Madi's mood a boost like lunch with Saul AND Mary. I can't think of a better solution. Can you?

Saul always forms opinions of people before he meets them. It’s such a time saver.

Mary will be so surprised when she lifts her glass for a sip and discovers that a moth has landed on the rim.

To echo Carlye's comment yesterday, it would be great to see Madi plop down on Mary's couch and put her shod feet on Mary's hand-crafted throw pillows.

Then, when she was finally coaxed to the table, she'd stare at her phone while picking at Mary's nine-course luncheon.

Does Saul really think that because Madi is on the phone in the next room she's not hearing every nasty word he says?

Per Scottie McW’s suggestion, Mary serves a nine-course luncheon:

1. Salmon muffin appetizers
2. Salmon bisque
3. Salmon squares (frozen since the pool party three years ago)
4. Salmon salad with stale muffin croutons
5. Poached salmon (literally; Mary shoplifted the fish from FoodMart)
6. Salmon and vegetable terrine
7. Salmon sorbet
8. Salmon ice cream with muffin sprinkles
9. Chocolate covered salmon mignardises

Today's Boldface Haiku is titled

"Mary Consults Her Jefferson Airplane Cookbook For Mood-Altering Muffins".

Tomorrow? Mood.
Great! Meeting.
Then...change!

Great idea, Nance! Maybe Mary could invite Grace Slick for lunch also. That would be a fabulous intergenerational experience for Madi!

Some real excitement could be had when we discover that Madi is allergic to salmon.

@Charlie from yesterday, they weren't doves, they were swans. Did they ever get fixed or replaced after Rita the Drunk broke them?

Good idea, Nance! Perhaps if Saul re-visits his own drug-addled teen years, he and Madi can join a protest march and bond over the joys of destroying the military-industrial complex. Or they can just stay home and get stoned while listening to Saul's old Country Joe and the Fish albums. "Gimmie an F!"
