Remember we are at a LAKE HOME??  Maybe I just get the wrong impression, but it looks like Johnny is ready to apply for a job!  Or maybe he and Ann Marie are going out for a fancy dinner at the local supper club!  Senator Mason seems to be the only one who is down with chillin’ at the lake…

That is one hell of a door bell, too!  DING DONG it says… before Mark and Senator can respond to Ann Marie’s Gracious offer.   Darling, now that’s a funny last name, although not entirely unusual… like the last name of the family in the story Peter Pan…  Or perhaps it’s simply a term of endearment.  Hard to know in these exchanges.

Oil!? Mark Exclaims, as if he had never heard of the stuff…  but in the foothills of the Great Smokey / Blue Ridge Mountains? You bet, Mark.  It’s already happening!
