Hardship
Why am I delighted? 'Cause the Yankees just won the series vs. Boston.
Why have I been giggling for the past three hours? 'Cause one of the commentators made this remark, without a hint of sarcasm:
"It is a very tough thing to be a very rich, very handsome athlete today."
Yes, the very rich, very handsome athletes are a highly vulnerable population, yet their plight is, sadly, often overlooked. Anyone want to join me in organizing a 5K (possible event title: "The Athlete's Foot Race") to raise money and awareness for this important cause?

I will concede you the morale victory on behalf of your team. Game three was a good, close, rivalry-worthy nail-biter, and the Yankees gutted it out (though A-Rod is still a punk bitch). I myself have many times been proud of the Sox winning a series over New York when, in truth, it wasn't much more than silver lining.
Your grandmother used to be amused by the canned signature intro to a daily weekday radio soap opera called "Our Gal Sunday". I can still fairly well remember it. It came on about mid day. I don't recall the musical signature, but the words were something like: "Our Gal Sunday. The story of a young woman from a small mining town in the west and her search to find happiness as the wife of England's richest, most handsome lord?'"
Pam used to make her distinctive chuckle and remark, fairly frequently, something like, "Well, rich and handsome, that's two strikes against happiness." Or variations on the theme.
Incidentally, another radio soap opera that I think preceded the "Our Gal Sunday" broadcast was "The Romance of Helen Trent". Helen Trent's dilemma was presented, to the soupy music of "Juanita", as: "The story that asks the question, 'Can a single woman find romance at the age of 30, and beyond?"
Phoebe's still needed at 64!
