Mary Worth 3498

Dear Ms. Moy,

The Condo Board is please to acknowledge your request that "Drive All Night" by Bruce Springsteen be added to the clubhouse jukebox. Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Wanders watched Blinded by the Light on Friday night and staged a small sit-in until unnamed holdouts on the Board conceded. Thank you for your recommendation.

Sincerely yours,

The Condo Board

They're frolicking! FROLICKING! They're like a couple of teenagers! I love how Joe Giella has carefully hidden Adam's cane-hand and cane beneath the water to add to his youthfulness.

And Karen Moy has made a Jukebox request, "The Second Time Around." I'm so glad she did because I learned something about the song in finding it. We all know it was a huge hit for Frank Sinatra, but the song was first introduced by Bing Crosby in the film "High Time," which I hadn't realized. You know the song, but probably not the film. This early Blake Edwards film came out in 1960 and also starred Fabian and Tuesday Weld, and featured a few other familiar faces including my kindergarten crush, Yvonne Craig (aka Batgirl). But I am especially fond of it because it was filmed at my mother's college and she shows up in a couple of crowd scenes.

Oh, and edited to add (thanks to an anonymous poster):

Meanwhile, Dave is telling his buddy Mike, "And our dual incomes will let me finally achieve the lifestyle of my dreams!"

In honor of Amy being able to quit her job, I've added the song Pretty Woman to the Jukebox.

But, really, I can't say it better than Josh did today at the Comics Curmudgeon.
