It's ROKU DAY ... According To The Talents Of The Spectrum ...

________________________________________________________________________________________________


Because 
I am brain-dead
when attempting
to follow
a cable TV company's
simple instructions
to improve services,
a Spectrum technician
will be here 
at noon
to install a 
very special device
 
It will significantly improve
our television options
from what we 
presently have
:::

Since I best understand 
things in code:
this improvement
will be parallel to
converting from
picking your nose
to 
dancing with 
Beyonce

:::
We  were told
that this conversion
would involve
a $45 installation fee
BUT
—face-to-face—
with a representative
at the downtown
Long Beach
Spectrum Studio
changed things:
 
One quick wink
from Oliverio
(and a flashing
of his new dentures)
inspired a high-five
from their rep
and a waiver
of the fee
:::
 
My understanding
of "streaming"
is that
all I will have to do
is wiggle my nose
and the ghost of
will personally appear
in our living room,
serving Hors d'oeuvres
 
Simultaneously
 our TV
will alternate scenes
of 
with scenes 
of
or 
clips of 
Sidney Portier
from
+
 or
whateva 
 
The only problem I foresee
is when the actress 
portraying Samantha
(Elizabeth Montgomery)
(in ghost form)
is in the same room
with Mrs. CarPeo:

Only one 
of those two women
wrote a Bewitched script with
students
and I love 
this woman 
madly
 
However,
it is not
my smarter half
who might very well
be reading this page
while holding a switchblade
that has my name on it

  1. That Sidney Portier is mentioned here
    involves more than his being
    one of the greatest actors
    of all time.

    In the two of his films listed above,
    he accomplished a rare feat:

    In BLACKBOARD JUNGLE,
    he is just another punk student
    in a school overflowing with them
    BUT... in TO SIR WITH LOVE,
    he portrays a teacher more beloved
    than any other, in a classroom
    that has no shortage of punks.

    He is not the only actor
    to masterfully portray 180-opposites
    in a pair of films but my having allegedly been
    a teacher...Portier's duality
    strikes a very deep personal note
