Hello, early-birds. Oh, wait—there's no one here but me! I've cleaned up the shanty, stocked the "medicine chest" with Sly Weasel™ and Beyond Water™, and set out some scrumptious hors d'oeuvres: kippered antelope, catfish rollmops, possum fritters with a watercress garnish, Drunken Goat Cheese in Drunken Sheep Cheese's clothing, Hardly Hamster™ tartare, Beyond Mouse™ Swedish meatballs, and Implausible Vole™ in blankets. YUM!!

The reason we have "albums" and "labels" on today's playlist is because of a legal requirement for a music business extortion racket called Soundies Exchange, or something. We objected, but in this rare instance Courtney was overruled by management.

Hiding in plain sight was all many had, and for some incomprehension was the closes they could get to acceptance. I get the feeling that a fair number of people knew (or assumed) what was going-on in a 'Boston marriage', but a fair number had no idea…

Marco: I read this to Gus. He said: "Why, of all the unmitigated audacity! I wonder if this 'Marco' has any idea of the scope of my philanthropy?" Personally, I don't. But just the other day I heard him refer to himself as "the real heroes." Plural. That ought to tell us that Gus considers himself a man of prodigious accomplishment. In light of his volatile temperament, we are disinclined to argue.
