I can't help it - I'm so excited for my brother, Cory. Today was match day for med students and he just received word that he gets to do his orthopedic residency at USC. SWEEET. I mean let's face it, his daughter, Chart, looks great in a swimsuit . . . she'll fit right in. (Sure, this is an old picture but at times like this . . . it can totally be recycled). I'm sure we'll find time to do a lot of visiting - especially during the Chicago winters!

Wow! Congrats, Cory! This is really going to be awesome for you because I'll probably come visit you in LA, too. Maybe you can realize your other career aspiration and drive the city bus to make some extra money while your learn medical stuff. Is there any chance you will be moving to an apartment like Jack, Krissy, and Janet's in Three's Company that was right above the Ropers? Remember that episode where there was some crazy missunderstanding and wacky hijinx ensued? That was a good one. There were always lots of entertaining things (and crazy missunderstandings) going on at that Santa Monica apartment complex and you don't want to miss out on that.
Oh Toddcat - it is so obvious you have never met Cory for the following reasons: 1)He never reads this blog, 2) He is much too righteous to have watched "Three's Company" and 3) Although he still dreams of being a bus driver - he has decided to instead pursue a more stable career. A surgeon - where he can write us all the prescriptions we want!
Come and knock on my door....we'll be waiting for you...where the towels read hers and hers and his, three's company too.
The strange thing is that in all the episodes that showed the inside of that bathroom (and there were a lot of them) I never once saw monogramed towels.
Leave it to you two to totally take something awesome and turn it into something ridiculous. Thanks, thanks a lot.
Kitty, I don't know what you are talking about. Just like the old saying goes, ridiculous is in the eye of the beholder.
Two thoughts: (1) Congratulations, Cory! You are in for some sensational fun in the sun--or at least your wife and daughter are and they're happiness is your happiness, right?; (2) is being a surgeon really more stable than being a bus driver? As we can see from Gray's Anatomy and Scrubs, doctor's lives are all a little helter skelter and you never know what kind of emotional or moral crises might arise. But being a bus driver -- you route in life is mapped out for you. All you have to do is open the door and stare indifferently and shut the door and drive.
Uh, Abby, you are either out of your mind thinking that driving a bus is safe and stable or you have never seen the hit movie (although it was crap) Speed staring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. It sounds like someone needs to get to her local Blockbuster and start learning what it really means to be a bus driver in today's world.
Now there's someone who would make an excellent bus driver -- Keanu Reeves. He is the king of the indifferent face--regardless of what emotion he is supposed to be portraying. Even Joan Rivers's face has more variety of expression than Keanu Reeves.
Also, no I did not see Speed, but I maintain that doctors face more danger and drama than bus drivers. The weight of the evidence is behind me. How many hit shows have there been about doctors, both tv and movie?! About a million. And the type of danger and drama is more serious on the medical shows -- physical wounds will generally heal but emotional and spiritual wounds can last forever.
I may have to weigh in with Abby--I mean being a surgeon can even result in having to see the insides of someone's body. The chances of a bus driver having to move someone's small intestine out of the way are slim. to none.
Congrats Cory!
Ladies, there is a very good reason you don't see more shows based on bus driving and that reason is that driving a bus is so intensly dangerous and dramatic that the special effects budget would be outrageous and would make it an impossibility to produce such highly dramatic shows. If I were casting such a show, however, I would choose Meredith Baxter Birney as the driver who is always getting involved in her passengers' lives, Angela Landsbury as the know-it-all bus mechanic, and Bruce Valanche as the sassy dispatcher. Now that has "hit" written all over it.
Toddcat - your casting is all all wrong! Jessica Fletcher was BORN to drive the bus. I can see her now just driving around being awesome. Meredith Baxter Birney would play the passenger (one of the several a-list celebrities) on the show with whom Jessica solves her problems as she drives around the city. Bruce Valanche is not fit for viewing - so I say strike him - he can write the script or something. The sassy bus mechanic should be played by that one guy from "One Day at a Time" Schneider. Now that sounds good - and could possibly put us all to sleep.
So what I'm hearing, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that you see this show as a highway verson of The Love Boat with Angela Landsbury (Jessica was a character, Kitty) in the Captain Stubbing role and Schneider as Gopher. Now we just need a cruise director, or in this case a bus ticket seller, and we are ready to hit the road.
