Blessings: June 2019

Let's get ready for summer with a fresh batch of blessings!

1). Blessings to former Trapper John, M.D. actor Charlie Siebert, whom Maria and I saw playing a mustache-wearing carnival worker on Murder, She Wrote. Siebert, a regular on The $25,000 Pyramid, was a prime suspect when the corrupt carnival boss/CEO was found dead. Also, his wife had a relationship with the Cabot Cove police chief years ago! Will this romantic backstory compromise the investigation? Spoiler alert: No, it won't. 

There was an additional storyline involving tax fraud, which I enjoyed. Blessings to Charlie Siebert's agent for landing him that role! 

"Lethal Soccer Mom" Draws a Red Card

A colleague of mine recently recommended "Lethal Soccer Mom," a Lifetime movie he assured me was a complete trainwreck. I kept looking for a repeat showing but couldn't find one. Fortunately, my colleague found that it was airing again last weekend! With my curiosity piqued, I watched "Lethal Soccer Mom" and was blown away by how utterly stupid / completely enjoyable it was. A film right up my alley!

Blessings: December 2018

Let's wrap up 2018 with a fresh batch of blessings!

1). Blessings to "Style Weekly," a publication serving the Richmond area with both serious news and the latest social gossip. I oftentimes read "Style Weekly" on the train and was thrilled to see this classified ad:

I Firmly Reject ABC's "Proposal"

You can imagine my excitement when I saw a commercial for "The Proposal," a new summer dating show on ABC. "The Proposal" is a godsend for singles who don't have 8-10 weeks to fall in love on "The Bachelor." Rather, two people go from complete strangers to engaged within an hour. And what's more: One of the people is hidden in a pod and can't be seen until the very end. It's a real-life fairy tale romance!

I sat down on the couch, armed with a pen, notepad, and low expectations.
