The MIT chapel hosts services of many religions, plus weddings and occasional non-religious events. Maybe Mary was imagining that there were only non-sectarian services. If she can't tolerate a chapel that sometimes has services that are not her particular flavor of Baptist, she can go soak her head as far as I'm concerned.

It could be worth keeping track of the writers, actors, et al., to see what they do in the future.

That's exactly what Hetty's father did to her mother.
Thank you, I did not remember that.

Hetty could have been worse off. At that time it was not unusual for a husband to have his wife put away in a madhouse: for being depressed, for not acting like a doormat, etc.

The coach intended harm, the gf did not.
So maybe the coach gets whatever the sentence is for Manslaughter in the 2nd Degree, and the gf gets off?Thank you, I wondered about that too. Coach Dad intended harm (temporary harm?) but not necessarily death, and did not know about the medicine the gf gave the victim. Manslaughter 2 sounds about right. (IANAL)

Maps of the Day: Travel Times from NYC in 1800, 1830, 1857 and 1930
Even in 1857, railroad passengers could have traveled from NYC to Michigan in 2 or 3 days.

Sad about the cancellation. This show reminded me of Psych, which got a much better chance. I just hope the writers got the bad news early enough to write a finale without cliffhangers.

Week 32: 4/5, two *
Friday I said Harlequin (being aware of the old stock character but not the movie) which doesn't count.

159. ALPHABETICAL AMERICA - Until Alabama became the 22nd state, this one was first alphabetically (Connecticut)
This was also an asterisk -- they all wrote Arkansas.
ETA: For today's FJ, I said Harlequin. Would that count?

Could "Harlequin" be accepted for FJ? The pronunciation could be the same.

Among the thousands of people who applied, likely there were other mysteries that were different and more interesting, but that the researchers were not able to solve.

If Hetty hanged herself, wouldn't the rope make marks higher up, under her chin and ears, where they would not be covered by her clothing?
If Sam or Jay researched old newspaper reports of Hetty's death, or her death certificate, I wonder what they would find. Some old newspaper stories include a lot of detail, but others might gloss over the cause to spare the family.

Knowing Chuck Lorre, I'm a bit surprised that Abishola didn't force Bob to sell the family business so they could move to Baltimore.

April 14-20, 2024, is National Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week in the U.S. I hope the episode mentions this.

My ravioli was Rao's Four-Cheese. They are pricey for a frozen dinner so I was extra pissed about that. Glad yours stayed on the plate.
I hope you have a dog or other animal that would happily eat floor ravioli.

You can try searching on the J! Archive (tiny search box at the top of the page).
Thank you. I looked at that, but thought it searched only one season at a time. Turns out it does search all seasons, and I found the information I needed.

Is there a place to search for a contestant's name if you don't know which season they were on? I found https://www.jeopardy.com/search but it does not seem to work. adTHANKSvance!

A poltergeist is a noisy or unruly ghost or spirit. People who believe in them say they like to make unexplained noises or move things. I once visited some people who said their house had a poltergeist. I sat in front of a bookcase, and a book fell on my head. The people said that book must have something very meaningful in it for me. I read the book, but nothing. (The house was old and a bit rickety, so that's my explanation.)

S07.E09: A Fancy Article And A Scholarship For A Baby
in Young Sheldon
I had email before 1990, from my connection to a university. Email may not have been the standard method for academic communication in 1993, but it did exist.
