   I notice that the “Urgent” pie is on track to hit Jay square in the face!

   Interesting how the “Do First” pie contents spread so much they made Jay’s hair purple.

   Yes, I’m glad to see that Wally is wearing gloves. I thought so before, but wasn’t sure until today’s strip.

   This makes me think of when I was in Europe, and in turning on the TV I saw that several languages were featured among the various channels. I knew enough to recognize French, German, and Dutch (even if I didn’t understand them), but one totally mystified me. It turned out it was in English, but the characters were speaking with such heavy brogues that I could barely pick out a single word. I certainly could have used subtitles then.

   “Easter Vacation” was always one week when I was in school (public schools, California, 1960’s), and it was always the week before Easter Sunday. I never heard the term “Spring Break” used until college (except in the context of certain movies), and that was the break between the winter and spring quarters, which would sometimes coincide with Easter. However I never heard of anyone getting two weeks off for either Easter or Spring Break before (I’m definitely envious)!

   Wait a minute! No one has mentioned Lee Meriwether! I agree that Julie Newmar is and will always be the best, but Lee Meriwether is certainly an honorable mention and in my opinion was the second best; as far as I’m concerned she was better than any of the later characterizations.

   I originally got a cell phone as it was very important for family communications, especially when traveling. However I resisted having one for years as a reaction to my original exposure to them: When the agency I worked for first got cell phones, they of course all went to the top managers, this being when cell phone use was quite expensive (at least for our contracts). Stories abounded about managers sitting at their desks using their cell phones, when the landlines (less expensive to use) sat idle. Cell phones would have been much more useful for those of us in the field, particularly for safety. Even where we worked, coverage was reasonably good and much better than our old radios!

   I liked the convenience of my old flip phone’s small size (the smart phones are a bit too big), and I even figured out how to text on it, although that took a lot of time. However I finally went to a smart phone and coincidentally that was about the same time that I needed something more current to do things that I could no longer do on my old PC. So things have worked out all right for me with my limited usage.

   Computers will simplify our lives and end paperwork forever… and television will be a boon to culture and education!

    Suddenly Miss Phelps is looking pretty good! And I agree, the whole arc has been fun and interesting.
