MANY HAPPY RETURNS ... AT 7TH AND MONTANA!

It was Many Happy Returns this morning at 7th and Montana ... in more ways than one. Howard and Cathy made the scene, fresh from a busy summer in Colorado. All I can say is, they must have made a bee-line for Our Favorite Starbucks, because they didn't even stop at the Bagel Nosh of Beverly Hills to re-load on Cinnamon Raisin Bagels.
Our Friendly Neighborhood Femme Fatale -- an actress known for her work in softcore adult films as well as for her real-life role in the sexual harassment scandal that brought down the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard last year -- also made the scene looking every bit the stunner. The Blonde Bombshell has fallen head-over-nine-inch-heels for Gordy the Dog. There was so much heavy petting going on this morning that I wouldn't be surprised if Gordy files harassment charges of his own.

And last but not least, Valerie Harper, the actress who played "Rhoda" on TV's "Mary Tyler Moore Show" and later on her own spin-off, regaled the crowd with tales of her recent trip to New York. It seems she was in the Big Apple during Hurricane Irene and, even though the City emerged relatively unscathed, she wisely kept the bathtub in her hotel room filled with water at all times in case of emergency. As she put it, you never know when you'll need a supply of water on-hand to keep the plumbing going. In case you're wondering, she meant the hotel's plumbing, not her own ...!
