With apologies to Sir Pauls McCartneys:

Ring my friend, I said you call Doctor Roberts
Day or night he'll be there any time at all, Doctor Roberts
Doctor Roberts, you're a new and better man,
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can, Doctor Roberts

If you're down he'll pick you up, Doctor Roberts
Take a drink from his special cup, Doctor Roberts
Doctor Roberts, he's a man you must believe,
Helping everyone in need
No one can succeed like Doctor Roberts

Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you ... Doctor Roberts

My friend works for the national health, Doctor Roberts
Don't pay money just to see yourself with Doctor Roberts
Doctor Roberts, you're a new and better man,
He helps you to understand
He does everything he can, Doctor Roberts

Well, well, well, you're feeling fine
Well, well, well, he'll make you ... Doctor Roberts

For Better or For Worse? That makes me want to buy books! I just hope they have something for me.

Based on the number of books on that book shelf, I'm concerned that Ernie's not staying in a hotel on business, but that his regularly occurring month long trips are nothing more than visits to his second family. Ironically, his other wife is a penny pinching miser, and Ernie has never been able to decide which family he loves more.

Jeff's short term memory loss is fine over salmon squares at the Bum Boat, but in surgery, when removing a kidney, the results are generally tragic.

Mary: "I hope her recovery will go beyond just her marriage and she'll be transformed into a super cyborg with one thousand arms. Think of how quickly she'll be able to clean up her living room!"

Another thing couples argue about is who gets to wear the chin napkin. But in a remarkable display of magnanimity, Mary Worth has relinquished the privilege to Jeff.

Thankfully, Mary Worth is always available to tell you when you have gotten into a bad living situation without realizing it. Speaking of getting into a bad situation without realizing it, did Mary realize her large intestine would be so overcooked?

Jeff: "Waiter, I'll have three salmon squares with a side of cheese puffs and the chef's best cat vomit. And a martini for my lady friend. Did you know, I won the Master's Tournament in 1978?"

It's just another typical night out in Santa Royale.

Oh, Mary, you just can't help yourself can you. Actually, I don't have much to say about this strip; it's just that it has been so long since we've enjoyed a good meal at the Bum Boat, that I needed to post an entry for old time's sake. So many memories. Oh, and look, they've got a new menu, with a drawing of some sort of boat on it I think. Very nice. But I wish they hadn't removed the appetizers; they used to serve the very best spinach-artichoke dip.

Telephone gossip is such an important part of Mary's life that she's even built a telephone pulpit from which to sermonize her scuttlebutt.

Amalfi Memories

It's the two year anniversary of Donna Amalfi's death, and although I'm still a little saddened by the loss, it brought back some sweet memories of Mrs. Wanders' and my trip to Chicago where we stayed at the Amalfi hotel in Donna's honor. For those who may not have been here at the blog in those days, here are my links to those posts:

Chicago: Day 1
Chicago: Day 2

This blog has been a lot of fun for me. And I hope it has been fun for you too. Here's to another 750 posts.
