And Moynihan, who later became a U.S. senator, replied, "Mary, we'll laugh again, but we'll never be young again."

in some ways, it will be a good thing when this season is over because I have a lot of work to catch up on.

Totally agree. Lots of hints this entire season as to what is coming: JFK's assassination. However, based on Matt Weiner's statements, I am not expecting a head on episode about the MM characters' reactions to JFK's assassination. But something, more subtle. I also love "the thinking out loud" component of this blog. I've never been a blogger before this site, which I think is fabulous b/c of all the intelligent, insightful and "thinking out loud" remarks. My "Elizabeth Arden" comment was exactly that - a thinking out loud remark. As much of a stretch as some of our thinking out loud comments might be- it makes this whole blogging experience for me, which most of the time is simply reading other people's blogs, truly fun. It is a credit to the Lipp Sisters & this fabulous (and in my opinion the best I have ever seen on TV) show that we all come here & try to pick apart Matt Weiner & his writers' intentions. Bravo Lipp Sisters, Bravo Basketcases & bravo Matt Weiner & team Mad Men! #51 Good Sally. Totally agree. Lots of hints this entire season as to what is coming: JFK's assassination.

Re Don and first-born son, etc., MM has been parallelling the Kennedy story all season, and Basketcases have been picking up clues -- the four chairs and the AquaNet commercial, Joan's blood-stained dress, Don at the dais making his speech while Betty looks on in a same set-up as the speech JFK gave in Fort Worth before the assassination, etc. Weiner has said he doesn't want to deal with the assassination directly. He gives us all kinds of whiffs of that moment, though, so I was just wondering out loud about Roberta's question about what we might make of that red door, and tying that first-born son, passover idea to the JFK assassination and how Don has been a stand-in (at least in Basketcases' minds) for JFK and the coming assassination. Something convoluted like that. Maybe it's day-after-Halloween sugar plunge. :> #48 Suzanne — good explanation of red church doors and what they symbolize, thanks.
