    Has she even mentioned to Dale that she will be coaching the football team that she will be reporting on? Didn’t they teach anything at all about “ethics” in those journalism classes at Iowa? That’s bad enough, but I have to wonder whether she will in fact wind up coaching basketball and softball or baseball as well. The Thorps will never miss an opportunity to get someone else to do their jobs for them, at a strictly nominal wage.

    Heather and Marjie press together. Now that it’s late August, Heather’s first assignment will be feature on Milford’s newest football star. What say you posters as to who and what this season’s angle will be?

    Marjie is changing her tops as fast as Heather thinks over whether to accept the job offer, wearing black yesterday to white in P2 today and back into black in time to get “friendly” with Heather in P3 (music cuing in the background – bow chick-a-bow-wow…)

    P1, Hmm, the shadowy figures in the background look an awful lot like a certain former president and his favorite intern. She’s even assuming the position.

    P2, A word both Dale and Marjie were hoping to hear. Let the orgy begin!

    P3, Now, let’s get you out of all of those hot clothes.

    If she’s good enough, perhaps she’ll earn that promotion to be the Library reporter.

    Well, on the bright side, with Marjie leaving, I don’t have to think about and double check if I spelled her name correctly every time. And speaking of double checking, double check that you’ve read today’s Mopped Up Thorp, because you’d hate to miss it. And amazingly, I resisted the temptation to imply anything sexual about P3.

    Marjie: Please, call me Marjie. Oh! I have a great idea. Let’s have a sleepover at my place tonight. Lots of fun things to do. I’ll grill the steaks. You can bake the potatoes. Say around 7pm?

    Heather: I just love sleepovers. I’ll go by my house and grab my things.

    Marjie: Of course, neither of us will get much sleep tonight.

    Heater thinks: I hope the reason for “not getting much sleep tonight” is not her lack of cooking skills..

    No discussion about salary and benefits?? No HR person?? How much travel to cover the pro Milford teams?? Or does Milford have only HS sports?? So many questions. So few answers

    Now that you’re employed here, this is considered sexual harassment.

    Heather is on pace to have a V8 moment pronto when she has to reveal to the new boss her side hustle as an unpaid Thorp lackey.

    It’s a conspiracy to destroy Heather’s future as a good journalist. Heather will spend so much time with Marjie that she will be fired. Marjie will then get her old job back thereby eliminating the competition. Heather will coach at Milford and will become a well known coach. She will make more money than working for the newspaper. Could it happen? Only the artist knows and isn’t talking.

    So this must be the end of the summer drama. I’ll say the start of the football story begins in P3 tomorrow with a “Meanwhile…”, or on Monday with a change of scenery to the new transfer kid.

    Heather will find it hard to remain objective regarding Gil & MHS. Friction with Marty Moon coming up!

    Interesting. When she hugged me, I had to call her “Mistress Ducey.”

    P4 “Congratulations and welcome to the MilfStar Heather, Marjie, why don’t you give Heather a tour of the building? Oh and Heather, when you meet Dalphne Dufont down in the newsroom, let her know I pulled the job offer and gave it to you”
