Fashion Guru to NYC Police; Great Comet and inane orders
Why did a New York City policeman ask Dan to be his ‘fashion guru’? And was Dan riding a horse when it happened? Who are Natascha and Pierre (and Josh Groban)? Was the Great was the Comet of 1812 more impressive than Comet Hale-Bopp? Could it play an accordion? How did Dan get trapped talking with a person who ‘owned' two bed and breakfasts in Illinois, a fragrance business in New York, a race car engine factory in Chicago and had a monopoly on baggage carts at O’Hare? (She also had a reservation for a Motel 6.) Which one of (the many) ill-advised executive actions had a personal impact on The Martin Family?

Gravity and Tiger’s cars; weather snarls (some) marching travel

Who managed to lose the front license plate before he could figure out how to install it? And, is THE LAW that mandates a front license plate actually enforced in California? What is a California Legacy License Plate? (And is it really Gluten-free?) Does the American Healthcare system offer a sure-fire, quick way to recover from the flu? Who chants the mantra: “Sit down and Wait?” In a contest for steering control of the tricycle would you support Tiger or Dan? Read More...
Elvis, Yoda, test pilot and mime share sugar cookie photo op
Can holiday tradition (a double batch of sugar cookies) withstand challenge (a single batch)? Can sharing be taken a step too far? Will Melika’s costume closet, eh, room, eh, warehouse provide adequate inspiration for the annual Martin Family photo? Who gets to be Elvis? Will Tiger use The Force as Yoda or will force be needed to persuade Tiger to be Yoda? Can Nazy replicate a baby pose from the 70’s? Read More...
