Elaine!
As I was drifting into consciousness this morning, I was wondering about a plot hole in The Graduate. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, and maybe I am forgetting something important. But aren’t Benjamin’s family supposed to be good friends of the Robinsons? Wasn’t his dad Mr. Robinson’s partner? How did they explain that they weren’t inviting them to Elaine’s wedding?
It was 6:30 or so, and I was happy to be awake, for whatever reason, so I went upstairs (Dubs and I are spending a couple of days in Portland, Maine) into the cupola of the place we’re staying and watched the sun rise over the port. Lots of cranes and brick houses and chimneys. I could upload pictures if I had remembered my camera cord. Now I’m waiting for Terri to get ready so that we can go to breakfast, and thought I’d check to see if there’s wireless. There is.

The Danforth’s got it all.
Funny that this little Elaine thing occurred to you just days before we watched that episode of Northern Exposure where it’s referenced. There’s another coincidence for you, maybe.

I’m glad you mentioned it. I thought about posting it, but I decided that I’d look like a dork if I posted about seeing a Graduate reference, like I’m all hung up on meaningless coincidences that I think are meaningful. But it’s worth a comment!
