This is getting on my noives, à la the Cowardly Lion. I continue to lose large spans of time, and I never know what day it is any more!

Wow, right?!
Please let me know via email if you want either of these collections and I’ll be glad to send you the files. Thank you for your cooperation.
Oy, everybody. There’s an earthquake going on in Britain! Prince Harry and his bride Meghan have announced their resignation as senior members of the royal family so they can move to America, eat hot dogs and teach their baby Archie how to surf. (Only part of that sentence is actually true. Archie is still too young to surf.) But the resignation, moving to America and (maybe) the hot dog parts are authentic … and the rest of the royals are having cows about it, especially the Queen, because Harry and Meghan’s big news comes just a few short weeks after she had to kick Prince Andrew out of the royal family due to his ties to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. So there’s that.
So the Queen has a lot on her plate right now, and Harry’s unexpected defection just made it worse. Rumor has it that he and Meghan want to move to Los Angeles. (My personal guess? Beachfront property in Malibu.)
TV’s most iconic cool dude, Edd Byrnes, 87, died yesterday at his home in Santa Monica, California. Byrnes gained fleeting fame as Kookie, the ultra-hip, wisecracking parking attendant on the jazzy 1950s/60s ABC detective series “77 Sunset Strip,” which aired from 1958 to 1964. Kookie parked cars at Dino’s Lodge, a fictitious Hollywood nightclub owned by Dean Martin. Dino’s served as a backdrop for the show and was next door to the private detective agency run by Stu Bailey (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) and Jeff Spencer (Roger Smith).
In later years Byrnes played smooth-talking Vince Fontaine, the dance contest host in Grease (1978).
Naturally, Byrnes also made the rounds as a special guest on dozens of TV series over the years, including “Murder, She Wrote,” “Fantasy Island,” “Burke’s Law,” “The Love Boat,” “Quincy M.E.,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “Police Story,” and so on. There’s no way to know if any of these appearances brought in enough dough to live on, and now it’s a little too late to ask Kookie, because he’s dead. Thank you.
We’re expecting a severe weather hoo-hah beginning later tonight! This includes big thunderstorms, strong wind, tornadoes, flash flooding and hail, starting around 5 a.m. Friday and continuing through noon on Saturday. I’ve asked Sam to wheel a few emergency oxygen tanks into the family room so he won’t have to hunt for them if we lose power. It’s always something …
I guess I’d better move along. Thank you for reading this, and please remember Harry and Meghan in your thoughts and prayers tonight when you’re through remembering the Alamo.
