Mary Worth 3598

I don't know whose picture that's supposed to be (Jeff? Gary??), but that is the best turtleneck I have ever seen on a man!

Noon??? That's getting pretty late, would 10AM work?

By some incredible, unbelievable, remarkable twist of fate, Mary just happens to have two spare tickets to the Therapy Dog Exhibition going on over at NeverChangingView Hospital!

Noon? Let's see... That would be lunch time, wouldn't it?! I'm happy to bring a nice salmon casserole along also!

That’s a rare early picture of the young, beardless Hemingway wearing a turtleneck.

When he arrived in Paris in 1922, his new friend Gertrude Stein, said, ‘I gotta tell you, Ernie, the literary people are all laughing behind your back. You have to get a new chemise, toute suite, if you want to be taken seriously. Aww, big guy, I didn’t mean to make you cry...”

Many years and wives later, Hemingway was able to grow a manly beard and he then wore turtlenecks exclusively, even though it was very warm in Key West.

Fun fact: failed actor Saul Wynter once competed in the annual Hemingway lookalike contest, wearing a false beard!

Yeah, shouldn't Mary specify what exactly she's bringing over? What if she shows up with a notice of a rent increase while they're expecting leftovers? Might harsh the mood.

And look at the curious arrangement of Mary's apartment. The mirror or whatever that is and the table or whatever that is are not centered on each other. And the photo is perched precariously on the edge. (Might that be a photo of the late Mr. Worth?) Was there an earthquake this morning? Finally, what's with the garish yellow in the mirror/picture frame? Mary doesn't seem like a thrift-shop chic kind of gal.

The guy in the photo is Mary's new boyfriend, Arturo, whom she met online.

It's unnecessary for Saul to mention that Eve is coming over with Max at noon tomorrow. Max is ALWAYS with Eve, just like Greta is ALWAYS with Saul. And why is Greta tucked under Saul's arm -- did she forget how to walk, or is she too exhausted by all the woofing she's done?

HelenClark, you may be onto something with the therapy dog connection. If that plays out, we'll know that Mary was spying on Eve and Saul on their last aimless wandering.

Just how many turtlenecks is Dr. Jeff wearing in that photo?

Jerry Smith said...

Of course Eve is bringing Max over! What if someone should take a shot at her?

The question of the day is, what will Nance do with a one-word haiku?

It's a new dog. Gotta be. Saul and Eve have rhapsodized over dogs until Mary decided they need a third one for their menagerie.

@KitKat - Maybe. Or it could be the nearly empty bag of Gravy Train that she's been hanging onto since she dumped Chester the beagle 14 years ago.
