Goodbye James Farentino

Margie: James Farentino passed away last week which made me sad. He was a handsome gentleman and I loved watching him on TV. He had a walk that was sexier than Richard Gere's and that's sexy!

Maybe you remember him from "Police Story" or "Dynasty"? He also played George Clooney's father on "ER."

He was married 4 times but only because he never met me. Maybe you remember him, too, because he got into trouble stalking Tina Sinatra. That was a very untidy situation. It never had to happen, though, because he could have called me instead.

Goodbye James.

Edna Nears Home

Margie: How do you folks like my fire? Cousin T came and got it going for me. I have my elderberry cordial and I'm snug and happy. Well, I'm happy for now anyway. It's always lovely when Edna is off on her winter vacation. I love the quiet and doing what I please. I hope she knows I don't want her to come back but she always comes home just to spite me. That calls for another cordial.


Anyhows, the nitwit gets home next week so the house will be a mess again and Edna will gripe and complain from daylight to dark. I bet she cleans up after herself when she's vacating. Vacationing. Too bad she can't find an old man to marry her then she could move.


Here's a roast- I mean a toast. To Edna, the witnit. Nitwit. Wait until I refill my glass. Okay, I toast thee idjit of the world. May you never come back to Jersey. I mean Jericho. I feel dizzy.


I'd best say goodnight friends. Have a good sleep with somebody handsome. Ta ta!

Remembering Bob Denver

Margie: I'd like to remember Bob Denver's birthday today as he certainly gave us some great and funny TV moments. I never missed Gilligan's Island and I still get a laugh out of the repeats.

Happy Birthday, Bob, and we miss you.

National Braille Literacy Month

Louis Braille was blinded in an accident as a boy. He went on to  develop a mastery over that blindness.  As a young man  he created a revolutionary form of communication that transcended blindness. It became known as Braille.

We would like to recognize Louis Braille and his system this month.
