   “If in the first act you have hung a pistol on the wall, then in the following one it should be fired.” -Anton Chekhov

   Thanks, Bill. I knew the quote, but had no idea that it was connected with Chekhov. I had always associated it with movies rather than plays.

   I have a feeling that even absent the lawnmower, Tomato Dad was going to meet an unpleasant (well…) fate, and given how ripe he seemed to be, pretty soon.

   I’ve looked at Piraro’s “selfie” panel at least three times now, but it still doesn’t come even close to working (for me), because the woman in front looks too much like a caractiture of “Hillary”.

   P.S. Turn the t-shirt into a blazer of the same pastel green, and it would have been even worse: “Angela (Merkel)”.

   Bill: Were you aware that today (January 29) is Anton Chekhov’s birthday?

   No. But then again, he forgets my birthday every year.
