I have some good shots of the estate, tidal pool, and "beach bar" but no way to post them, I'm afraid.

Hi Sam,

I didn't see any renovation work taking place. Looked like there were a few windows boarded-up and blue tarps covering some areas - the kind used to cover storm damage. I did see one person on the property pushing a wheel barrel. Also this funny interaction...

There were two young women (mid-to-late 20's) sitting on the wall by the tidal pool. They had a dog with them. Two other dogs showed up on the other side of the fence on the estate, a lab and a french bulldog. The girls' dog and the dogs on the estate were sniffing each other through the fence. I, of course, said the most logical thing, "Is that zeus and Apollo?" They looked at me kind of funny, obviously not getting my joke, and said "no, that's Jake and Henry." I walked away feeling rather old.

LOL! Kids today, they just don't know what they are missing. Just imagine what they would have said if you had asked one of them to do a "snorkel shot" with you in the tidal pool. ;)

It crossed my mind to make that request. One of them certainly had the perfect "gear" to pull off the "snorkel shot".

I like your avatar suggestion. Can you come up with the shot of Henry doing hand stand push-ups on the beach?
TM: Hey Henry, how about a little one-on-one?
HL: One-on-one with who?
TM: With me.
HL: Oh come on, you gotta be kidding.

I liked this episode, it was pretty good and another one I enjoy from first season. I thought the idea of these rich, bizarre, women liking to play these role-playing games was interesting.

Judith Chapman is also a good actress, and she guest-stars again later in one of my all-time favorite episodes: "The Woman On the Beach"!

LOL! :lol: Yup...even in the dark I'd know that "garrish" color was all around me. :wink: Magenta works with some things/places...but not for complete walls of a room/house. :shock: Despite how "hot" the decorator was, I'm surprised Higgins allowed that color to be used for all the walls. :o
