Rest in Peace

* QUICK ASIDE *

To live is to love. My sweet angelic grandmother passed onto the next plane on Christmas Eve 2014. She was my everything, my grandmother, mother, all encompassing parent and better yet my love. She had been in failing health for some time but somehow, still drove daily, worked part time and was the matriarch of our family. She is dining with the King of Kings and free from all pain. Hopefully heaven has a TV, so she can watch her beloved Days of Our Lives.

I dedicate all my future blogs in her name.


* QUICK ASIDE OVER *

Making his triumphant return to the Superfriends airwaves is the #1 Superfriend of all time, Brian!

Brian nervously writes down his thoughts for the show today. It has been too long since a show has aired and he feels the nerves clamping down on him.
Meanwhile in the Buck/Pegues abode, Mandy is busily making tuna casserole whilst Rohan works hard on his ever lacking basketball game.
Similarly, at the Peters/Robinson mansion, Christy is dishing up a batch of her gluten-free chocolate chip cookies. Erykah Badu music is blaring in the kitchen and Mrs. Peters Robinson is sexily making the aforementioned cookies.

Without further ado, it's time, it's SUPERFRIENDS TIME....

Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child is wafting through the Superfriends studio. (The Superfriends radio station is actually Brian & Christy's spare bedroom)

Mandy: I like what you have done with the place.
Brian: Mandy, can you wait til the red light comes on?
Mandy: I don't know what you mean? I'm mesmerized by your Kerry Von Erich poster.
Brian: alright, alright! Enough of this tomfoolery, it's time for the Superfriends radio show.
At the helm, is my beautiful wife, Christy, technically directing is North Richland Hill's own, Troy and I'll be here, but without further ado, let's give it up to the one and only Mandy....
Brian throws it to Mandy (finger point and all since she follows finger commands better)
With half a cheeto hanging out of her mouth, Mandy looks on perplexed.
Brian: Mandy, you're on!
Mandy inhales said cheeto without much of a single crunch.
Mandy: well, I think this calls for a special segment of the show. Is it my turn to talk about what I want to talk about?
Brian: yes! That's why I threw it to you...
Christy: my goodness, how did I get talked back into this slop?
Brian: babe, remember you're our new Superfriends Social Media Editor!
Troy: and what am I?
Mandy: well, I think you're a f........
Brian: ok, well we're back to our good ol' times I see. Let's start off with a segment, I like to call; Mandy's minute.
Mandy: wait a minute, I only get a minute?
Brian: well, right now, at the start of the show, you get the first segment and can talk about anything.
Mandy: hmmmmm, well I might need more than minute.
Troy: this is already a disaster
Mandy: pipe down Tiny!
Troy: hey, I've lost 25 pounds.
Mandy: well, you can kiss m......
Brian: ok, ok, looks like your minute is up! That's too bad, I wanted to hear about your secretive tuna casserole recipe.
Christy: ummmmmmm, this is not what I signed up for? I've got some trail running to do.
Troy: yeah, I need to test drive my new Harley...
Brian: fine, we'll meet again next week to discuss our new and improved Superfriends radio show!
Mandy feverishly drives home to have dinner made for Rohan before he gets home from work.

As the studio sits quietly and the air hangs over the room, Brian reflects on another attempt to revive his dream of a radio show with his closest friends.

He turns over a photo of his long missed grandmother. Puts his feet up on the desk and cracks open a cold Dr. Pepper. Instead of drinking the frothy beverage, he pours one out for his sweet grandma.

Next time on the Superfriends- Did Mandy make dinner in time for her beloved? Was Troy able to drive his new Harley? Is Christy going to subjugate herself to more of this riff-raff? Answers to these questions and more, next time on the Superfriends!
