Dinero Friday October 22nd – Tomorrow, tomorrow, it’s only a day (or a weekend) away
Until yesterday, our Merry Marco had everything tightly controlled. There may have been some pressures, some of his plans were just about bursting at the seams, but everything was (barely) under control, much like one of Claudia’s blouses. But Chavez “opened the clasp”, so to speak, and now just about everything is out in the open. As such, we may not be too surprised that there are numerous things still “hanging”, and with so much “exposed”, Marco was sure to try to cover up a bit. Tonight we took a breather from yesterday’s delights, as new plans were hatched all over the place. We also had a possible new love connection, one character finally growing some cojones, and a touching moment for two of the characters who have been almost like pinballs in this crazy machine. We also had lots of things promised for “tomorrow”. Here’s what happened.
A lipstick-covered, half drunk Marco is arguing with a disheveled, fully drunk Chavez, having found out that loose lips sink ships, Chavez’s having been sufficiently loosened that both of them are about to go under.
In contrast, Ale and Rafa are brimming with confidence. Although they still have to solve the problems of Frank (Zetina is searching for him), Vicky, Marian and Daniel, they’re happy, because love will keep them together.
Nighttime at the Jimenez hostel, where the ladies get the bedroom, Father-in-law gets the couch, and Ramiro usually gets the shaft. Suegro is asnooze, and our ladies in waiting are waiting in the dark, armed with rolling pins, for the arrival of their whipping boy. Jimenez enters, half drunk, turns on the lights, to be met by his horrendous harem of hostility, his wife threatening with the pin, accusing him of being out with Arcadia again. And how could he cheat with someone like Arcadia? What does she have that I (Elvira) don’t? She shrieks for Jimenez to get out of the house, and just show up every two weeks (quince días) with money. Ramiro first moans that he almost lost his job, but when suegro makes another of his stupid remarks, Jimenez explodes! I’ve HAD it! Elvira tells him not to yell, but he GRABS the rolling pin and yells that it’s HIS HOUSE, and they all had better SHUT UP! You’ll respect me, he roars. I still pay the bills, and I’ve never been unfaithful, never! He threatens the three with the rolling pin, and they cower on the couch like little mice.
It’s over, he adds, from now on, you’ll respect me, or GET OUT!!!! He even throws a few things at them, and tells them he’s now going to the bedroom to sleep. As he leaves, Suegro bounds up, declaring THAT’s a real man! Wish I could have said that. I’m going to sleep in the bedroom, too, and you two cockatoos are stuck in the living room! He staggers after Jimenez, leaving our nightgown-clad nellies speechless.Chavez tells Marco that at least he finally blew off Carmela, the human vacuum cleaner, right? Nope, laments Marco, I actually let her have her way with me, and it was horrible. Then everything’s lost, says Chavez. Marco disagrees, he’ll still get all the money from the sale of the hacienda, and flee to Brazil, woo-hoo! Not so fast, replies Chavez, that low-life Shrimp Man double crossed us, and sold it! Marco’s enraged, threatens to sue the guy, put him in prison, he’ll make cocktail of that damned shrimp! But Marco then realizes that Chavez has very likely betrayed him, and sold the hacienda out from under him. Chavez claims to be Markie’s only friend, but Marco is so mad he falls over the sofa.
Chavez complains that he always wanted to be Marco’s friend, but got treated like an employee, a slave, a wet newspaper on the corner. “And that’s not right, because I see you as a brother”. Marco protests, I don’t have any brothers, certainly not as ugly as you. But then he gets wistful, saying he actually does have brothers, but he hasn’t seen them in a long time. “It’s true, I miss my family, Vicente”. “You called me Vicente?” Chavez gets teary, and our two slimy slobs melt into a bit of a man-hug, they’re down, but they’re not out (yet).Rafita arrives home, greets his Mom and Sis, telling them this has been a great day, only to be startled by Vicky from behind, “Pajarito!!” She’s hopping mad that he didn’t answer his phone all day. Rafa hides behind Leonor and Julieta,
begging Vicky to wait until tomorrow, and they’ll talk. Vicky isn’t too happy about this, calling Rafa unfaithful and a liar, but she agrees to wait, and tells them goodnight. As soon as she leaves, Rafa gets a big smile and tells his Mom they know where to find that swindler from the radio, and she’ll be free! He then notices Juli’s long face, and finds out that both Cesar and Jaime proposed to her. No way! You’re too young! And your career! But this decision will have to wait until tomorrow, too.
Now it’s tomorrow. We’re at Siglo, and Arcadia gives Beltran a list of candidates for a whole new crew of salespeople. She has to keep the current ones until after the convention, but after that, they’re out, and it’s his job to pick replacements. He wonders about HIS job, and she waffles a bit, then says she’ll probably keep him, since she doesn’t want him to have a heart attack with his checkbook. A few money, money, moneys, and she exits, leaving Beltran a bit shaken at this development.
Jaime’s wearing a suit, standing before three serious guys with white hair. Turns out he’s passed the bar, he’s officially a lawyer! He jumps for joy (and stumbles, of course), thanks his new “colleagues” and turns to his family, which consists of his granny and his cousin. He unfolds his diploma, says he’ll dedicate it to granny, who weeps with pride. Curls is proud, too, having never gotten out of high school. Jaime misses Rafa, Julieta and Leonor, wishes they were here. Curls tells him to go rub (restriégales) the diploma in their noses. Jaime’s not mad, they always supported him, at least until Vicky messed things up. Not deterred, Curls wants to celebrate, and picks up both Granny and Jaime, let’s party!
Doña Arcadia is addressing the troops. If you don’t win the title at the convention, heads will roll (van a rodar cabezas). Marino doesn’t think there’s anything to worry about. They’re like Titans of selling, they’ll win it all. You’d better, says Arcadia, and asks Jimenez to come to her office.
Urdiales is telling Rafa and Ale that he submitted their estimate to his board of directors, and it’s almost sure to be accepted, but they won’t know until tomorrow. They shake on it. After he goes, Rafa and Ale both yell “gol!” They’ll still go to the convention, and they sneak a little kiss.
Frank the Freak is cutting pictures of women out of magazines (don’t we all do that in our spare time?),
when there’s a knock on the door. It’s Zetina (I guess he DID know where to find Frank), who says he came on behalf of Marco and Chavez, who need to see him. Frank just needs a minute to get his things. Zetina thinks to himself, could it be that for ONCE things went right for me?Nope. Two scenes later, Zetina calls Rafa to tell him that Frank’s given him the slip. Dang.
Our two brothers in slime (Marco and Chavez) are out like lights, when Marco’s cell rings. It’s Vicky with a wake up call, in full scream mode (she’d make a great alarm clock), telling Marco they have to meet. Something has to be done, once and for all. Marco hangs up on her, and she REALLY goes crazy! Marco tells Chavez it’s too bad Vicky’s hung up on the idiot Medina, because she’s HOT!
We see the big hands, we see the sleek laptop, we see the boring test pattern on the secondary monitor, and we know we’re witnessing a powerful man.
He instructs his secretary to have an envelope delivered to Leonor Nuñez, with no explanation. This is, of course, what Marian was working on. The man (whose face we don’t see) says “the moment has arrived we’ve all been waiting for”. Not quite. Tomorrow, maybe?Rosaura and Claudia, wearing similar outfits of high waisted dark skirts topped by low cut frilly white tops,
are gossiping as usual. Rosie thinks that rich guy (Urdiales) is giving Claudia the eye. Claudia’s hormones activate, and she “walks” over to him, coyly displaying all her charms. Urdiales doesn’t exactly want a car, he wants a “personalized accessory”. Right. And he’d like to discuss it over lunch. She beckons Mr. Big over to her cubicle first, as we see Carmela enter to pick up her car.
She hears the greeter girls (sorry, I forgot their names) talking breathlessly. Girl 1 starts. “He lasted all night, he gave, he gave, he gave, and never got tired”. He looks fat, but he’s a total athlete, he went up, down, up, down (Carmela’s ears are perking up). Were you satisfied, asks Girl 2? Totally, I couldn’t take it, I said I was so tired I’d have to go to sleep, but he said, don’t worry, I’ll finish myself! What he did in one night would have taken another a week! If only all men were like that.
Uhh, excuse me, asks Carmela. Who are you talking about? Oh, that chubby guy Trapito. Could he do the same job for me? Just ask, but he only works at night. Perfect! replies Carmela, striding off to make a date. Gee, that’s strange, says Girl 2. She wants HER apartment painted, too?
Frank shows up at Marco’s, grabs some whiskey, and Marco has a new plan.
Carmela makes a date with Trapito for the “same job he did for that young lady”. Trapito wonders if he should bring “his things” or use hers. She’ll lend him hers, but he has to keep going all night. He assures her he’s “a machine”. She thinks to herself, finally, a REAL MAN.
Ale calls Marco, urges him to withdraw the lawsuit against Leonor. She’s going to a convention for a few days, but he’d better do as she says, or she promises, he and Chavez will go to jail.
Okay, what Urdiales really wanted was a personal advisor or consultant. He said asesoría, which I thought was an accessory. Well, Claudia fits both descriptions, so we’ll let it go. Generala and Rosaura urge her to go for it with the big guy, he looks rich, not like the losers (muertos de hambre) she’s been going with. Speaking of which, Marco calls, and gets the time and place of the convention. Claudia’s tired of his spy requests, with never any bonus for her. He says they won’t be seeing much of each other anymore. After he hangs up, she thinks it’s too bad, because he did turn her on. She envies Ale, who has two guys crazy about her, when Claudia doesn’t even have one (there really was no reason for this picture, except that I really think Claudia is pretty :))
Rafa wants them to go to the convention in the Pantera, it’s an extension of himself (una prolongación de mi mismo). Ale agrees. Rafa’s happy friends enter. They’re afraid to talk in front of Ale, but says she knows everything, the hacienda was free of the lien for months, and Marco had an arrangement with Carmela to keep it quiet. So, says Dandy, do you believe us now? Well…..yes, but I’m not too impressed with your method (procedimientos) of seducing a woman to get information. The boys look duly chastised.
Todo yo Daniel sidles into Marian’s office, full of plans to recover Ale, and get Rafa for Marian. Let’s join forces. Marian is dubious, why? Because I’m totally in love with you, Marian. Oh really? If you’re so in love with me, why do you want to conquer Alejandra? Good point, but Dan forges right ahead with not wanting to be outdone by that car salesman. How can three sexy women be gaga over that slob, when I, so full of love, don’t even have one? Marian explains why. You act like a child, Daniel, and love is not a game. He’s not deterred, still insists that he can seduce Ale, leaving Rafa free for her. And his plan? Go to the convention. (Okay, we had the famous barbecue, next up, the famous convention. Should be something).
In an outdoor café, Claudia is talking cars, but Urdiales admits he’s already bought them. Then, why are we here? asks Claudia. Can’t you guess? he hints. Well, maybe, but (she actually tries to COVER her boobs here), I don’t go out with married men! How about divorced ones? She lights up, uncovers the boobs, give them a little boost, and asks if he has children. Not yet, but I’m not discounting the possibility. Do you have any candidates to help with that? she purrs. Could be, as they look in each others’ eyes, some fine wine is poured, and Claudia may have finally hit the jackpot, as she languidly waves her ringless, sensuous fingers.
Leonor is watching a telenovela when there’s a loud knock. This time, it’s not Vicky, it’s Jaime. He proudly presents his diploma to Leonor.
They smile, she gives him a congratulatory hug, and he tells her he owes all this to two women. My Granny, and you, Leonor. She gets misty as he thanks her for all the support she gave him. He adds that he’s not thanking her to get Julieta back, he knows that’s his sole responsibility. He had to come, to give her this diploma, to thank her, from the bottom of his heart, because she’s always, always been the mother that he never had. He loves her very much. She cries tears of joy.
Rafa gets a call from Urdiales, the sale is confirmed! So they can go to the convention without worrying about that. Ale and Rafa do “gol!”, they high five, they say they’re invincible, and they kiss. The only thing, says Rafa, is that Urdiales has to go to a meeting in Cuernavaca in two days for the final signing, by the Director of Acquisitions, and Rafa and Ale will have to go there, too. So (I think) Rafa and Ale will go to the convention “tomorrow”, and the next day to Cuernavaca. Let’s hope the Pantera doesn’t break down (or as Private 057 predicted, Rafa doesn’t get kidnapped). Ale’s not worried, if the Pantera breaks down, she’ll help push. Money, money, money, says Ale in glee. For the wedding. But, says Rafa, we’re not going to spend TOO much on the wedding are we? Do we have to have all that champagne? Of course not, handsome, she gushes, I don’t need any expensive wedding, just to be with you for the rest of our lives. But promise me you’ll sing. And I’ll be totally yours. They kiss again.
Vicky calls Marco, angry. So are we going to meet? No, replies cool Marco, I’ve already decided what to do, and I’m not telling you. But I’m going to a convention for a few days. He hangs up. Vicky EXPLODES with rage. If things don’t go her way, WATCH OUT!!!!!!
And Monday? It’s “tomorrow”, and (although they could be teasing us), it looks as if Private 057 is right!!!!!
Vocabulario:
Quince días – two weeks, literally 15 days, but the first and last are counted, unlike the way we calculate it
Restregar – scrub or rub. Restriégales en las narices means rub it in their noses, or in their face
Van a rodar cabezas – heads will roll, you can also say rodarán cabezas
Asesoría personal – a personal advisor, or consultant (not a personal accessory, as I originally thought!) Actually a consultant is un asesor, but asesoría is like a consultancy
Una prolongación de mi mismo – an extension of myself
Procedimientos – procedures, or methods of doing something

Great recap
No clue as to Marian's stranger and what he is up to.
Someone asked about Marco's family yesterday. I vaguely remember his parents were in the US and couldnt come to Mexico because they were wanted by the police. Anyone?

Great recap.
I loved the line "barely under control, like one of Claudia's blouses" Too funny!
Claudia never struck me as a gold-digger before, looking for a rich guy, until now. Seems like before she was always after the "muy guapo" guys. Maybe meeting Urdiales is a neat way for Claudia to get married and become more respectable?
I thought maybe Trapito put the girl up to the conversation so Carmella could overhear, but it's even funnier that she was talking about painting. I hope we get to see the outcome of the Carmella & Trapito meeting.
I am dreading that the last week is here.

Thank you for the terrific recap Hombre.
I was quite surprised seeing the "Ay Dios mio" so fierce. I was kind of hoping he will end up with Generala (and Pepeto with Rosaura) but I guess this is it.
Kalum, regarding Marco's parents, at the earlier episodes Marco said they will not be able to come to the wedding because they are in the States, but he commented later to Chavez that they would not let them out of the manicomio.

Thanks for the superb recap, Hombre.
Looks like my prediction was right, Rafa will get kidnapped.
As for the misterious man I will have to agree with Vivi. I think that it is probably Rafa's dad. I really hope so because then Rafa will probably be on the same playing field as Daniel.
I still have some hope for Daniel but we'll see.
If this misterious man turns out to be Rafa's dad I don't see him forgiving him too easily.
Hopefully, Claudia has finally found someone to marry.
If I thinkk up of any other predictions I will comment further.
Signing off... Private 057

Hola Hombre. Another slick opening paragraph, and like Rip, I loved "barely under control, much like Claudia's blouses". Her wares were very much on display last night and if they win her the love of a good (and solvent) man, so much the better. Might as well put those hormones to good use and make some pretty babies.
I was happy to see Jimenez assert himself a little last night, even if it meant waving a baseball bat. And your quip "father-in-law gets the couch and Ramirez usually gets the shaft" was right on. "Nightgownclad Nellies" was also cute.
Got a big kick out of the drunken sentimental Chavez/Marco scenes ("like a wet newspaper in the corner"!) and the Trapito/Carmela delicious misunderstanding. Could it be that both Carmela and Claudia have at last made a love match? We can but hope.
My only quibble: Rafa is still kissing with those virginal tightly-clamped lips. Honestly, does he have a germ phobia or what? Those kisses look to be about as much fun as jamming your lips against a window pane. Jeez. No more galan roles for you, Pedro Fernandez. Not if I'm the casting director.
Have a great weekend Hombre and thanks for jumping in, along with Carlos, to give us these fantastic Friday recaps after Amy had to step down. We have all been the happy recipients of your wit and your expertise with pictures.

Hi Hombre,I just got home and read your great recap. You always have such fun descriptions such as "Frank the Freak" and "the nightgown clad nellies." Your picture placement was perfect. I liked the last Claudia picture as well. And your Vicky bearing those teeth was halarious!!
Loved the Jimenez scene but got a little nervous when he started throwing things. That father in-law is still very creepy!!!
I was on the floor when Carmella was intrigued by our floor models description of Trapito and her thinking something other than what was intended. That should be fun.
I agree with Judy about the Rafa and Ale kisses. It was kind of like in the beginning when he would kiss Vicky and there was no passion. I guess we got spoiled when they were on the beach in that one episode. These last few kisses were very lukewarm. How ever they are very cute together otherwise.
I also Echo Judy's sentements in thanking you and Carlos for stepping in for Flores. As well as thanking Judy for stepping in mid way as well.
Just a week to go. Oh my I am getting sad to see this come to an end.

Thanks so much Hombre. Thanks also for the vocabulary.
Judy B. I was thinking the same thing about Rafa's kissing ability. Does he normally do novelas? Maybe he was afraid his wife would be jealous or because he is married he felt uncomfortable. He does need some pointers.
Marco and Chaves are so funny together. I guess they will be the perfect couple in jail.
I think they waited too long to introduce Rafa's father. If it is him, Rafa, Julieta, and Lenora would probably be unable to forgive him in so short of time. After all they have been struggling all these years and there he sits rich and not helping them until now. He had better have a good story.
Can't wait for the convention. Don't like it that it looks like somebody kidnaps Rafa.

Hombre, once again you've nailed it.I love your use of Claudia's assets as a metaphor for the contents of this episode. Like Claudia herself, you captured and held my attention. Excellent.
So Claudia also captured the attention of Urdiales? Well, good for her. interestingly, she didn't hve to expend a lot of effort or compromise herself. He more or less jumped into her boat.
Hurrah for Jaime. His abuela is precious, and his scene with Leonor brought tears to my eyes. Just one very minor correction and only because it's link to the episode I recapped last week. The show playing on the TV in the background wasn't a TN but a cooking show featuring none other than our old friend Chef Oropezca.
So Her Royal Majesty really does plan to fire everyone after all? Yikes!
Kidnapping? Yikes!
Hombre, thanks so much for offering to help out with next weeks two hour finale. This'll be fun.
Carlos

Will you guys be recapping the telenovela with Eugenio Siller called Aurora?

I don't know any plans to do this at present. Nor have I seen the show advertised on nivision. Originally Melinama only sought recappers for the 7,8 and 9 pm shows on Univision. Since then it's expanded somewhat because recappers have volunteered to do other shows. But I haven't heard anything about the Eugenio Siller telenovela.
Good morning, all. Thanks for the comments.
Kalum, we should find out Marian's plan soon, but we may never know much about Marco's family (although some later comments filled in some of the info).
Rip, I'm hoping that Trapito can, in fact, please Carmela with more than just painting.
Maria, as to Jimenez, I guess they're showing us that if he acts like a man, his wife will treat him like one, and the two could be happy. I think Elvira does love him (but they really have to do something about those in-laws!)
Private 057, great job on the kidnapping prediction. I still think it's not the mysterious man himself, but what's in the envelope, such as a check. But I'm usually wrong in my guesses.
Judy, I agree about Rafa's kisses. But some have pointed out that most of the chaste ones have been when they could have been caught at any moment. Maybe when they have total privacy, the kissing will improve.
Pata, there are so many great shots of Vicky going crazy, it's hard to choose. She really has an expressive face, and is doing a super job of acting like an obsessive (but still somewhat attractive and appealing) nut.
Lynda, I also think Marco and Chavez would make a great couple in jail, which is where she should end up.
Carlos, thanks for the correction as to what Leonor was watching. I really didn't even pay attention, and just assumed it was a telenovela. That's so funny it was the chef we had last week!

Anon, Judy is right. It's unlikely Aurora will be recapped, because it's not going to be on Univision (I think it'll be on Telemundo). Our community is not big enough to recap shows outside of Univision (and many of us get only that channel). There are exceptions, such as El Clon, where a group of people decided to do it on their own.
I personally like many of the more edgy shows on Telemundo and Telefutura, such as Munecas de la Mafia, El Cartel, Rosario Tijeras, Sin Senos No Hay Paraiso, better than those on Univision. But there aren't enough of us to recap those (and my schedule doesn't permit me to recap anymore for a while).
There are other sources of recaps on the internet, such as esmas.com, but often these are in Spanish.
Aurora does look like a good show, though.

Hombre...I forgot to mention earlier my delight in your title. Love that song (it's perfect for "belters" like me and Vivi) and that was a great title.
On Rafa's kissing, even in the office, those could be soft-lipped kisses, and fast can still (sometimes) be sensuous. But he just clamps his lips shut like some nervous 6th grader playing his first game of Spin the Bottle.
Okay, rant over!

Thanks for the recap Hombre. I too enjoyed your analogy of the episode to Claudia's blouses. And though I haven't been able to partake in the handiwork of you and Carlos, thank you both for your recaps.
I hope the mystery man is not Rafa's father. I don't see how the writers can make a family reconciliation credible without having the dad have a fugue state.

Hombre, your opening paragraph was fantastic and I loved the rest of the recap and pictures too! My favorite picture is the one of Marco falling over the couch. I was laughing so hard when that happened!
I'm very intrigued by this upcoming convention. It seems like everybody and their mother are going to it. Should be a lot of fun to watch.
I hope we get to see what happens between Carmela and Trapito. When I was watching I was thinking the same thing as Rip, that the girls were purposely talking so Carmela would overhear.
Way to go Jaime becoming a lawyer! The scene with him and Leonor was so touching. Now he just needs to get Julieta back.
I've said it before, but I still don't want this show to end so soon. It's so much fun to watch! :)

Hombre, thanks for the perfect recounting of our soon-to-be-ended saga :(( I chuckled at your title. I enjoyed the descriptive scenes as well as the pictures and vocabulary. I especially liked the picture of Claudia and Rosaura as "twinsies". And, I will try to remember the phrase "Una prolongación de mi mismo "--I think it could come in handy.
I was glad to see Jimenez stand up for himself, but if the consequence of this is sharing a bed with his suegro--eeewww!
I just loved Marco's body language when he was telling Chavez about Carmela. Marco can be so funny. He was also amusing when he was talking to Vicky. I liked him calling her "la intensa".
Tracie and Carlos, I'm with you on the poignancy of Jaime thanking Leonor. And I'm glad he was sure to make her know that it had nothing to do with Julieta. Jaime was very sweet.
"Frank the Freak is cutting pictures of women out of magazines (don’t we all do that in our spare time)?" This was a giggle. What was this about?---I'm afraid to ask!
Pata, I was down ROFL with you! The whole Carmela/Trapito situation was a hoot. I'm still smiling when I think about it. Can't wait to see what happens.
Good for Claudia. I was glad that she told Marco that she wasn't going to be his spy. And, if Urdiales like her, the more power to her. Hombre, I liked when she pulled her blouse up and then pulled it back down when she found out Urdiales was divorced.
Judy, "Those kisses look to be about as much fun as jamming your lips against a window pane." , LOL!! Really, what is the deal here?
The previews show Vicky doing her crazy finger thing again.

Hombre- I could easily tell how much you enjoy this show and this episode from your recap. You captured so many of the funny, funny scenes, the touching moments, and of course the beauty of Claudia (just for the heck of it). :) Thank you!
Rip- Claudia has always been a gold digger, in that she wanted to find a rich man to marry her and give her a good life. That's why Ale told her long ago that the way she was going about things (going out with every Tom, Dick and Harry, including married ones) wasn't going to get her that. She needed to be more selective. But Urdiales just landed right in her lap. Good for her. She's a good person at heart, just misguided at times.
Loved Jaime and Leonor. I think he actually went right out and got a copy of his diploma for Leonor to keep (it wasn't the same as the one he got from the professors and it was glossy), and Granny has the other. And we saw Granny for the first time! It was so funny when Curls just picked them right up, one under each arm.
Marco and Chavez are just a riot. Will we see Marco's family this week? I also can't wait to see the Trapito and Carmela pairing. I think it will make them both happy and satisfied. :)

I don't think Arcadia intends to fire everyone at all. Remember she is building a new dealership (which only Jimenez knows about). She'll need a whole new sales team and staff...
Hi again.
Karen, I'm so dumb I didn't even know what a fugue state was. Now I do. And I agree with you, how can it be Rafa's father? But stranger things have happened.
Tracie, I also hope we get to "see" what happens between Carmela and Trapito, but maybe not with a close-up!
Barbara, who knows what Frank the Freak was doing with those pictures? Since this show is sort of naughty but still shown at a family hour, they just let us use our imaginations (a fashion scrapbook, maybe?) :)
Vivi, good idea about Arcadia and the new branch. You always think outside the box, and I bet you're right!

Hombre: I wanted to stop by and say how much I enjoyed your recap. Your pictures were absolutely brillant! I laughed at Vicki's (thinking it was probably NOT Carlos' favorite). Of course, your vocabulary was wonderful as always.
One of your many lines that had me smiling was "A lipstick-covered, half drunk Marco is arguing with a disheveled, fully drunk Chavez, having found out that loose lips sink ships". Excellent!
Thank you Hombre. You always put so much heart into your recaps - evident and appreciated by all.

Diana, no it's not a favorite (the Vicki photo) but it's the one I would have used as well... it captures her mood.
There was dental analysis today over on LldA. Vicki certainly displays healthy dentition. Her dentist can be proud.
