This should be a wonderful next few weeks, full of wonderment and wonderlous wonders. I wonder if our wonderful wonderers will wonder about wondering at a wonderlicious Broadway wonder like Kinky Boots.

Mary Worth 2196
I am thankful for today's classic dialog. The fact that Mary is in New York City for the sole purpose of spending time with Olive, and even living with her, makes today's Moyisms even more Moyish than usual. I love that they are actually already on a local outing when she asks. I am excited by the vagueness of the number of weekends Mary plans to stay, and the suggestion that Mary plans to spend every moment Olive is out of school on the town with her.
Just for fun, I ran Mary's sentence through Google Translate a few times and then back into English, and it came up with, "Olive, what should we do for fun while I'm visiting you?"
Two years ago, on Thanksgiving, Mary was also in New York City, enjoying her post-mugging lunch:
It reminds me that I never reported on my experience in our local community production of Footloose. I'll just say, it was a defining role for me, and truthfully, the time of my life. So glad I let my neighbor convince me to audition, even though I hadn't done anything like it for 18 years. Now I can't wait to do it again!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

"The last time I was in Central Park, I was mugged. Let's revisit it. But with you, Olive, and your SPECIAL GIFTS, I feel so much safer."

We all could use a little Mary in our lives. She helps us do our best and makes us feel better. And children are naturally drawn to her... or unnaturally.

I can certainly see why Olive invited Mary to come visit her: She always lets her order extra platitudes on her sundae.

"Speaking of local hot spots, we would love to take you and Olive out to A Local Hot Spot for dinner tonight. No wait, I meant Eddy and I are going to A Local Hot Spot, and would love to give you and Olive some alone time in our moneyed apartment. Get used to it, dear lady"

Oh, look, what's-her-name forgot what's-her-face's name. But that little kid remembers because she has a second tummy in her brain. Er, brain in her tummy.

The taxi driver who indelicately comments on your friends' wealth always deserves a little extra in his tip.

Has there ever been a more pitiable character than Turban Taxi Driver? His look of abject suffering says it all, "This is the longest fare of my life, but the meter isn't keeping pace. Somebody get me out of this cab!"

So, what have I taken away from all this? Apparently, Heloise is polite. This story has made me a better person. Thank you.

Well, at long last our Mary Worth/Phantom cross-over comes to a close. What an exciting week it has been. I thoroughly enjoyed the creative shared experience of Mary and Heloise. How fun it was for me to meet a character from a comic strip that I don't care about.

While Mary Worth continues to chat delightfully about the essential joys of human interaction, the "Phantom" has apparently grown bored with this Rashomon story and returned to its previously scheduled programming, which will no doubt feature human interaction of a different sort.

This cross-over story is as pointless as actually getting to know someone you are sharing a cab with in Manhattan.

I knew this was going to be a cross-over story, but I didn't know there would be actual cross-dressing!

Well, today is the day that the entire Worthiverse has been waiting for. It was recently leaked that there would be a Mary Worth crossover with another comic strip, and today we learn it is the Phantom!
Of course, I don't read the Phantom, so I really could not care less.

"You are Mary Worth, right? I dreamed last night that I was to text a remarkable child named Olive when I picked you up, and let her know you are on your way."
