You heard it here first
wow!
Actually, it is probably 49 now.. but who is counting?
Saturday 9: Along Comes a Friend (Theme from Kate and Allie) (1984)
1) This week's song is the theme from Kate and Allie, a sitcom that ran from 1984 to 1989. Were you a fan?
2) The show was about two divorced women who live and raise their children together. Were you ever a single parent? Were you raised by a single parent?
3) Allie is proud that she can make a perfect cup of coffee: "Just the essence of the bean. No acidity." Kate is proud that she can belch the alphabet. What are you proud of?
5) Kate was played by Susan St. James. She was familiar to viewers as the "wife" in McMillan and Wife. Without looking it up, do you know who played McMillan?
6) Allie was played by Jane Curtin. She was one of three women in the original Saturday Night Live cast. Without looking it up, can you name the other two?
Well obviously Gilda. And um that skinny one Loraine or someone.
7) On the set, Jane Curtin ran a poker game for the cast and crew. Do you think winning at poker takes more luck or skill?
8) The Kate & Allie theme was cowritten and sung by John Lefler. Years later, Mr. Lefler wrote the theme for the Pokemon show. Is anyone in your life into Pokemon?
An acquaintance and scary enough, her husband too. I'll keep it at that.
9) Random question: What's the last thing you whispered?

No. I was busy being a young adult with my first real job.

nope. nope.

You heard it here first. I am training to do a marathon. Mostly walking however. But, because I was on crutches a year ago- I think that is pretty good :)
4) Kate and Allie share half of a duplex in Greenwich Village. Many episodes had them doing laundry in the basement. Where are your washer and dryer?

Just around the corner from where I am sitting right now.

Oh- was it Rock Hudson or someone?

Cheating skills from what I hear, not that I would know.

Probably some random 4 letter word while stepping on a dog toy or worse, a dog dropping.
Have a great weekend. I am in search of a replacement small dog. So sad. They sure got expensive too. I am also looking into rescue sites around here.

Is Autumn that close? I'd better get busy....
Yes, it was "Rock Hudson or someone." It'd have to be at least someone, wouldn't it, Harriet?
Rescue? YES!
