Nero Wolfe: "The Impolite Corpse"

A woman calls him because a murder will happen (this happens often, actually).

A boss, Mr. Channing, is putting out a memo that all employees must take their one-hour lunch breaks. C-razy.

Oh, but he's also eliminating optional shoe shines. That's just stingy.... Of course, Mr. Channing actually sounds like a bit of a douche who gets murdered.

Aw - but Nero Wolfe has actually walked out of the house (away from his orchids) because he's been told his assistant (Archie) is in danger. Awww.

Oh, and it's an "Impolite Corpse" because the man who was murdered was sitting down - didn't stand up to greet his murderer.

Whistler: "Hired Alibi"

Paul brings home Joe (a hitchhiker who's wanted by the cops for murder), in order, it turns out, to frame Joe for embezzling (I think).

Ok, the guy lets the man stay at his house with his daughter.

And Paul is pacing around and freaking a bit, and sounds like a guy in love with another one. Hopefully, Paul will get his just deserts.... Yup - it's because he let a guy live in the house w/his hotty teenaged daughter. Dumbass.

Ok - weird: the Old Time Radio program ended & for a split-second I imagined telling mda that I was going to go up to bed. The old chemicals in the brain that carry sense memories and things you're used to doing must have just gotten picked up & started moving/doing their thing before I remembered where/when I was. Like when you put your keys away, but you do it so often and so automatically, that you can't even remember doing it later. Well, I didn't cry out in pain and that's a very good thing.
