When we left MadMen7 last year, Don had finally shed his Dick (capital D), and returned to being fabulously Draper. Roger took advantage of bittersweet circumstances to enter the M&A era keeping Sterling Cooper intact. Under McCann Erickson. As the 1960’s ended, everyone was gathered around their televisions to watch the first lunar landing in awe. Bobby Morse took us and Bert out in style. The Moon Belongs to Everyone. The Best Things in Life Are Free.
It is next year. Episode 8. bAd Don is back. Yay! If that’s all there is to life, then let’s keep dancing. Joan remains the best character. Bottom line no drama. All the men could learn from her. Wolf Hall will have to wait for a binge.
I did have Wisconsin, Joe.

Matt Creamer is always good. I thought the waitress reading Dos Passos was a flashback to Don’s mother and classism.

No. Just that they would be in final four. One out of four ain’t bad this year, and in the same bracket as Kentucky, your bet the ranch fave.

Or, did you bet the farm? Either way, no risk. You don’t have either. But you are a famous BBQ chef.
