At the end of each episode, the announcer would ask a series of questions about the characters, ending with "And what about Naomi? For the answer to these and other questions tune in tomorrow for another episode of <I>As the Stomach Turns</I>."

I was just remembering how when I was in Chicago I used to watch the TV weather and always noticed the time of the sunset gaining minutes as winter slowly faded. It somehow made winter a tiny bit more bearable watching Spring slowly creeping in. Now, though, I don't notice it at all until the shortest day when I almost always think to myself, "Gee it's getting dark early..."Arthur Schenckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568299067544221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34249799.post-81486975752178951522007-06-22T06:42:00.000+12:002007-06-22T06:42:00.000+12:00You have to look on the bright side.
