Dear Diary,

Bob wasn’t on The Mayor of the Town tonight. Both Friday’s and today’s papers said he was to be on tonight, but he wasn’t. However, he was announced for next week. The announcer said, “Be sure to tune in next week, because the mayor is expecting a guest. He’s not a political character, or even an underworld character. He’s just a character. Next week Bob Hope will be the mayor’s guest.”

Even though he will be on next week, it was quite a disappointment not to have heard him tonight. I was so comfortable in bed, and ready for anything, but nothing happened.
