It’s Monday in Chinatown, Jake.

Hi Bob,

Whatever reason is OK, but I looked through Sunday’s letters and found no Jake, so wondered if you had a specific reason for mentioning Jake or not?

Maybe I am just dense, and missed a connection, but without it, I feel I missed the right touch, such that could easily happen at the table.

Hi Bobby,

It is a reference to a line in the movie Chinatown. I think Bob was referring to the missing Monday column. I am beginning to think the columns for the week are all loaded Sunday night/Monday morning so if Monday is good, the week is good, but if there is an issue, it will always pop up on a Monday.
