Remains of the Day (05/19)
















"Triangle Troubles"Who remembers the "Three's Company" episode where Jack Tripper (John Ritter) pretended he lived alone when he fell for a woman (Barrie Youngfellow, who later played Jan on every season of "It's a Living") he believed was old-fashioned, but it turned out she also roomed with two people of the opposite sex, neither of whom was a stick-in-the-mud florist! 











Variety: I have to say I've been deeply moved by Benito Skinner's "Overcompensating." Although I was nothing like his character, even the most effete boys are largely presumed to be straight by default, so everything he's going through -- being asked about girlfriends, etc. -- still touches a painful nerve I had largely suppressed. (Note: I think how timeless the topic is allows me to look past the fact that the timeline/era doesn't always seem to quite add up.)




The EthicistIs it ethical to buy used books and music? (I'll save you a click: YES.)


Hot Cat of the Day: "Wait a second."


Song of the Day: Such a thrill to see (on YouTube) 'Til Tuesday reunite at the Cruel World festival for the first time in about 40 years. (They covered “Drive” by the their new-wave heroes!) "Coming Up Close" was always my favorite song of theirs, so now it's your SOTD!


Sending my love to President Biden and his family during this most difficult time. xo
