Gee, that's a surprise!

I guess I need to watch Min and Bill again. I remembered it being quite the tearjerker when I first watched it decades ago, but when when I watched it again in the 80s or 90s I thought it contained more slapstick comedy than I recalled.

We last heard from Barry four days ago when he had this to say: "Hey everyone, I apologize. I moved and I had my cable and internet turned off on Monday and with everything else going on in my life ( I also quit my job and don't have one yet! HA!) I totally forgot about checking in here."...
