Scooter Chronicles

I know a bit about the soap “Days of Our Lives” because my Mom used to watch it religiously. Then there is my wife Marcia who also was a “Days” junky. So tonight, trying to catch up on things, Marcia is watching it on the Soap Network. Because of what little I know, I see the obsurdity of what I am about to explain.

There is a character who is a cop. His name is Roman. He was first played by an actor named Wayne Northrup. So eventually Northrup leaves. The character is very popular, so over time they bring him back, but now with a “face-lift” and a haunted past as a man named John Black, and the actor Drake Hogestyn, with the character eventually being Roman.

Last night Marcia and I watched “Alfie”, starring Jude “I Slept With My Child’s Nanny” Law. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.)

It is funny that we watched this movie now after his indiscretions. We kept making cracks while watching it. Why? Because Alfie is jumping in and out of women’s beds (actually they never seemed to be in a bed while doing “it”), never getting too close, always lying, etc., etc. But in the end, the movie finished up well. You see Alfie grow …… at least a bit. And you see the outcome of his earlier acts.

I have always liked Jude Law. I think he is a good actor....
