The Best Laid Plans...

"The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley..."
(Translation: "The best-laid plans of mice and men
                      often go astray.")
"To a Mouse," Robert Burns

This week I had planned to write post for the anniversaries of several classic television shows, starting with The Golden Girls on Sunday. My annual "Rule, Britannia Blogathon" begins tomorrow. If all had gone according to plan, I would have written about Gidget, Hogan's Heroes, and Honey West as well. Unfortunately, one of my favourite composers, Bobby Hart of Boyce & Hart fame, died, and so I preempted my Golden Girls post. I thought that I could possibly write The Golden Girls post later this week. Unfortunately, two of my other all-time favourites have died: Pat Crowley and Robert Redford. As a result, I had to change my plans. I went ahead and wrote my posts on Gidget and Honey West out. I also wrote my eulogy for Pat Crowley, an actress I have admired since childhood. The "Rule, Britannia Blogathon" will begin tomorrow and I will write my post for it. I will eulogize Robert Redford early next week. Robert Redford is one of my favourite actors and directors, and a man I admire immensely. I would prefer to take time and write a eulogy worthy of him than rush and get one out right away. I will also write my Golden Girls and Hogan's Heroes posts next week, as well as a post on The Rocky Horror Picture Show (which turned 50 this year). Anyway, I hope your week has been less hectic than mine!
