Typed in the search term “By the bye, how is the Countess?”, a phrase well known to kids of the 1950’s. It was Moe in the 1935 Three Stooges short “Hoi Polloi”! Google search suggested a scene from Downton Abbey – yada, yada, yada. Nah – it was Moe!

Last time it was seen from this Earth was 1986. The birth year of my youngest son. Who, because we agree wildly different, is as unseen as Halley’s. I won’t be alive (age 111) at Halley’s next celestial visit. My hope is, sons are.
