On CBS® television, the two best day-to-day afternoon serial dramatic programs are available for everyone to enjoy and more importantly take that enjoyment a step ahead: talking about issues before they come to your house (or my house).  I lost my favorite medical doctor in 1998 because of the disease call multiple sclerosis.  Losing Dr. “G” was the first time I saw true boldness in a man who could have made excuses for things that did not show to me any disease at all.  He is the first person I think about before criticizing someone about “fake crutches” or “hypochondria” without knowing what their *real* condition was.  On the Young and the Restless®, Melody Thomas Scott, the matriarch of the Newman family has just been diagnosed with this killer disease – topical, well-played, and sadly still incurable as the actress Melody Scott does not have the disease yet her character Nikki Reed Newman is doing that which Dr. G did – hiding it from her loved ones and anyone.

On the Bold and the Beautiful®, Heather Tom is playing the role of Katie Logan-Spencer, a woman who after suffering from postpartum depression whose character now has a three-fold problem: 1) she has lost her sex drive, at least temporarily; 2) she is married to the highly sexed and driven William Spencer II who is most highly sexed and expects same from Katie and worst 3) she has a sister, Brooke Logan-Forrester-Forrester-Forrester who at 51 has lost her husband from a reason we have yet to learn to an Italian cooking school.  Brooke, we have come to learn is the most attracted to one particular type of man – one with, as Brooke says herself, in a squeamish plot played by Katherine Kelly Lang a “stallion” male sex organ.  Brooke has seen it and now she is shooting for her brother-in-law – unless she can restrain herself.  Already Brooke is staying up nights reading a book called, appropriately STALLION.  These are the types of family dynamics and sexual preferences on their own, if brought up in the abstract, become most uncomfortable to speak about.  Laughing through it and talking about it is easier than talking about such proclivities straight up.

WARNING – today’s topic suitable for 18 years of age and older.

After watching the Young and the Restless episode, I turned to my wife and said, “have you ever see the movie or so you know the joke the ‘Aristocrats‘?  She had not.  So I asked, did the character actually open the first part of the show say what he did?  Do you remember? (the Phil video, chart explained).  She said no.  I said, man, (we even call our wives “man” in the – I guess if I was married to a man I call him man too – whatever). I said, I don’t know – I entered the second sentence word for word, and my Google results were all radically sexual – from sex addiction to dangerous sexual practices.  That is a thing that all should know about the English language.  It has the *fewest* words that define actual individual things, yet with the most words of any language, we have the most synonyms and shared meaning elements than any other language.  What does that do?  Logically it keeps lawyers in business because the definitions of English words are not *all* forms of algorithms.  Still, with lines like that, you wonder if there should be a rating on the show.  Maybe I got the dress rehearsal version and got fooled. Barring such circumstantial oddities, I never even made it out of the Google area that gets *out* of [unusual] sexual practices – I think that was page 3 and thought – great, the Thought Police are watching.  Having fun maybe?  Very racy.

TAKE ME HOME – tempo by Phil Collins. Even within the Power the Newman Family Company Business, *There’s No Place Like Home” Michael Muhney as Adam Newman Is Coming Home | Improving speed blindness a day at a time.

The redeemed Adam Newman – played by MICHAEL MUHNEY – has been through hell, and now wants to go home.  Interestingly, the CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch will not enter his private plane unless this song, precisely measured for speed herein.  He will wait until Phil’s 1985 Grammy® Award classic is playing.  goo.gl/zYOtz

When I met Phil, he said, “yeah – ‘Take Me Home’” is my favorite song.
