So, America West Airlines paid the product placement fee, but People Magazine played hardball and couldn't reach acceptable terms? Your loss People Magazine. Your loss. Even an airline that hasn't flown since 2005 knows a good promotional deal when it sees one.

I'll remember what you said, too:

  • "I wonder if you'd like to join me for local outings?" 
  • "Self-regulation and rules are necessary to prevent chaos." 
  • "There are some things you can only do when you're relatively young." 
  • "John is an expert at what he does." 
  • "Today your real live shopping is on me." 
  • "It'll soon be New Year's Day, a day to make resolutions." 
  • "Some dishes can be made in advance of others." 
  • "Do you see how the end of this avocado gives in? That means it's ripe." 
  • "An asteroid impact led to climate change." 

How could I ever forget?

So I, like you, have been staring at those eggs all morning, and I'm thinking it's true, I've never seen eggs prepared that way before, and I'm wondering if there's a recipe, and how much self-clumping kitty litter it requires.

I don't know which is more surprising, that Olive actually has friends, or that she actually attends school. By my recollection, she hasn't been in class since last November.

At least when Olive visits Santa Royale, stuff happens like flower fairies and heroine addicted doctors and visitations from angels and midnight drownings. You know, stuff!

By the way, I'm glad to see Mary Worth Remix back at it.

Yes, you both see the world as a plaything to be manipulated in your never ending quest for world domination.

We rented the newest James Bond movie, Spectre, last night, and when it was done, my wife and I looked at each other and said, "That's two hours and 40 minutes of our lives we can't reclaim." I only bring it up because throughout the movie I kept thinking this plot is about as compelling as Olive and Mary in New York.

The Empire State Building is impressive, but not any more impressive than Olive's little 'droid friend.

Today's new Jukebox Song is "In Old New York," sung by the Songbird of the South, Kate Smith - one of the great WWII era vocalists. I'm sure Olive is a huge fan. As Mary and Olive continue to celebrate all there is to see and explore in Manhattan, I begin to lose all hope.
