It's On The Bus Already

 
Marc was across the pond to finish up the last minute details on Barry's London Palladium run. As well as the BMIFC's first ever convention in London. Yes Lynn and Molly who ran the BMIFC-UK had some two day conventions and parties. But never a four day convention like the BMIFC-US has had. Marc had brought along BMIFC director Alicia Galay to help with the convention details. Marc and Alicia had already seen ads for Barry's London Palladium run on a few buses. Boy they're fast said Marc. Marc and Alicia went back to their hotel. Marc decided to call Barry to see what was happening back home. Barry was out for his morning run when he heard his cell phone play some music. He pressed the right spot to answer his cell phone. Hello said Barry. Hi Barry it's Marc. Oh Marc what's up? asked Barry. Well Alicia and I have finalized everything for next years BMIC UK convention. We checked out the ballrooms for the formal sit down dinner, Q&A with you and your songwriting partners and the brunch/Q&A with just you. Oh and we saw about three double decker buses that already have ads for your London Palladium run for next year. Wow cool said Barry. So how's things going back there? asked Marc. Well Carly had a very bad dream last week. She thought she was being admitted to an insane asylum because she was mental insane. I reassured her it was just a bad dream. I told her Scott Nevins can't come within two feet of either one of us. However Carly said Scott friended her on Facebook. So I told her to figure out how long Scott had been bugging her. Then unfriend everyone that she had friended since Scott friended her and started bugging her. I also told her to tell all her groups what was going on.  Jack McCoy has looked into how we can get Scott Nevins to quit bothering us. We already have the restraining order out on him. But there should be more that we can do to get him from bothering us. Back at the house Carly was coming in with the dogs from the backyard. Once she got in she heard loud banging on the front door. She could also hear someone yelling real loud. "Let me in bitch." Carly went to the front door stood on her tippy toes to lookout the glass piece in the door. There was Scott Nevins standing there. Carly was not going to let him in. However Scott kicked in the door even tough it was locked. He grabbed Carly by her right wrist. He then pulled out a knife and ran the blade across her right wrist. Carly flinched when she felt the blade go into her flesh. Now give me your other wrist so I can slash it too. Then everyone will see how mentally insane you are. When I tell them you tried to kill yourself by slashing both your wrists. Carly broke free from Scott grip and ran upstairs. She hid in the master bedroom closet. Scott came upstairs into the master bedroom to look for Carly. He yelled I know your in here bitch. Come out so I can slash your other wrist yelled Scott. Carly took her bandana and wrapped it around her right wrist to stop the bleeding. She called nine one one and told them there was a crazy man in her house. Carly also gave them her address so they could come to her house. Soon Carly heard the police coming up the stairs. They came into the bedroom and asked Scott what was going on. Scott said I came to visit my friend but he must not be here right now. However I could hear his wife yelling at me to go away and leave her alone. I figured she might be doing something to herself so I broke down the door. That's when I caught her slashing her wrist with a knife. She was going to slash her other wrist when I got the knife away from her. She ran away from me and must of came up here. So I came up here to find her and help her said Scott. Mam if you're in the closet would you come out said the officer. So Carly came out of the closet. She was holding the bandana tightly around her right wrist. All of a sudden Barry came home and said "What the hell." He came in the hall and said Carly are you home? One of the officers went downstairs to talk to Barry. Your friend Scott came to see you. He said he knocked on your front door. A women answered yelling go away and leave me alone. He said he tried to help her before she slashed her other wrist. But she ran upstairs and hid in the master bedroom closet. Barry ran upstairs to see what was going on up there. He came into the master bedroom and saw Scott, Carly and two other officers. What the hell are you ding here? asked Barry. I was helping your wife who was trying to commit  suicide said Scott.  I took a restraining order out on you Scott. Your not supposed to be within two feet of me or my wife said Barry. I took it out on you  after you tried to stop our wedding and ruin our honeymoon. That's because you continue to claim I'm gay which I'm not. Also that I'm your partner which I'm not. Barry went over to stand next to Carly. He grabbed her left hand and held it tight Soon Barry heard another voice saying "Is everything alright in here." Barry knew who that was.  In to the bedroom came next door neighbor James Martin. Is everyone ok? asked James. James noticed the bandana wrapped around Carly's right wrist. What happened here? asked James. Scott said she tried to slash her wrists to commit suicide. Where's the knife? asked James Scott handed James the pocket knife that was used to slash her wrist. Scott looked at James and said "Who in the hell are you?" I'm police captain  James Martin of Brooklyn 's 84th precinct. I'm Barry Manilow's next door neighbor said James Who are you? asked James. I'm Barry's dear friend Scott Nevins said Scott. Actually he's someone who thinks Barry's gay and claims to be Barry's partner said Carly. Barry said I should get Carly to the emergency room to have her wrist looked at. Ok said James Martin you can take Carly to the hospital. While you and Carly are gone I'll temporarily fix your front door. Maybe while you two are at the hospital they can admit Carly to the psychiatric ward for trying to commit suicide said Scott. Barry told Carly to get her handbag so they could go to the hospital. Once in Barry's range rover he asked Carly what actually happened. Carly told Barry how Scott busted down their front door as he said "Let me in bitch." Then he grabbed my right wrist and pulled the knife across my wrist. Then he wanted my other wrist so he could slash it too. Then everyone could see that I was mentally insane because I tried to commit suicide. When in actuality Scott slashed my wrists to make it look  like I was trying to commit suicide.

It Was All Just A Bad Dream.

Carly woke up crying and shaking violently. She sat up in bed and got herself a tissue. Barry had gone outside to let the dogs out. He then brought them back in. He gave them fresh water and kibble. Then he went upstairs to see if Carly was up. He went into the bedroom where he found Carly crying. What's a matter sunshine? asked Barry. I had a very bad dream said Carly. Barry went and sat on the bed. Tell me all about it sunshine said Barry. It was boys night out said Carly. So when I got home I saw your note. I went upstairs to take a shower. I put on my pajamas and went downstairs. I made myself some dinner which I ate while watching TV. It was seven thirty and the Insider was on. The male host mentioned you and I were getting a divorce. So I call Jack McCoy our lawyer and told him all about it. We had a good talk. Soon you came home from being out. You sat on the sofa next to me. You turned on channel 4 WNBC for the eleven o'clock news. All of a sudden we hear sirens. You got up to go look out the front door. Coming down the street were two police cars and one ambulance. The police cars went in front of the Martins house. The ambulance went in front of the Curtis' house. The police came up our front steps and asked if they could come in. You told them yes. I got up and came in to see what was going on. I could see the paramedics were coming up our front steps. They asked to come in. So we all moved back. They said that someone had called for them to come here. We looked at each other trying to figure out who called them. One of the paramedics said they were here for Carly Manilow. I asked if I could get a few things to take with me. They said I could. So I went upstairs and filled my duffle bag with some things. I came back downstairs. I hugged Charlie, petted Maggie and Max and hugged and kissed you. I gave the police my duffle bag. Then I got on the gurney and they strapped me in. The paramedics loaded me into the ambulance and we went to New York Presbyterian's psychiatric hospital in White Plains. One we got there one psychiatrist saw me. After he left then another one came in to finish the evaluation. That psychiatrist told me I was going to go to Clinton Psychiatric Hospital. I stayed over night. Then the next day I woke up. Three guys came into take me to La Guardia airport. We had to fly up to Plattsburgh airport to get to Clinton New York. Clinton Psychiatric Hospital turned out to be Clinton Asylum for the chronically insane. They put restraints on my ankles and wrists so I couldn't get away. After they were on I fell once. That's was when I burst into tears. Because I realized I wasn't ever going to see you, my family or anyone else. I woke up right after that.. Sunshine it was just a very bad dream said Barry. Go get dressed and we'll do something special today. I'm going downstairs to fix breakfast. So Barry went downstairs to fix breakfast. Carly got out of bed and went into the bathroom. She a few things in there and came out. Carly got dressed and went downstairs. She picked up Charlie and hugged him. Then she went to the dining room and  pulled out a chair to sit on. Already on the table were glasses of orange juice, a glass of milk for her and a cup of coffee for Barry. Barry came out with two plates with Belgium waffles on them. I made your favorite Belgium waffles said Barry. He pulled out a chair and sat down. Is it ok if I run something past you Barry asked. Sure you can said Carly. Since two thousand eleven my good friend and label mate Dave Koz has been doing cruises.  Meaning every year Dave does his Dave Koz and Friends At Sea cruise. The cruises last one week and goes to different places. Like Alaska, the Caribbean and Western Mediterranean.. Each and every year Dave's cruises  are sold out. Two thousand sixteen's cruise is already sold out. So is his two thousand seventeen cruise. Dave decided to add a second two thousand seventeen cruise. Which I'm sure will also get sold out said Barry. I know about Dave Koz's cruises said Carly. In two thousand eleven my sister Jill and I went on Dave Koz & Friends At Sea inaugural cruise to Alaska. The cruise started in Vancouver British Columbia then on to Tracy Am Fjord, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan and back to Vancouver British Columbia. We had all these entertainers performing for us during our trip. Dave only invites the best artists said Carly. I see you've heard of these cruises said Barry. Yes I have said Carly. I was thinking about doing one of these cruises myself next year. My idea is a cruise for November two thousand sixteen. It would be a twelve day cruise.  Our itinerary would be day one departure from Tianjin China at five pm, day two cruising, day three Shanghai China, day four cruising, day five Okinawa Japan, day six cruising, day seven  and day eight Hong Kong China, day  nine and ten cruising, day eleven Ho Chi Minh Vietnam, day twelve cruising and day thirteen arrive in Singapore Singapore. The price which includes everything is one thousand three hundred nineteen.
You can tell your friends that I am following in Dave Koz's footsteps. By doing a sea cruise with my friends and fans.  If your friends can think of any other artist that they'd like to see on this cruise they can tell you. Then you can tell me who they are and I'll contact them to see if their interested in this. Now I have one little thing I need to do and then we can leave said Barry. Barry went into the kitchen to put the dishes in the dishwasher. Her then went upstairs to do his one little thing. Carly went down to her computer room. She turned on her computer. First she want to check her email. Then she went over to Facebook. She went into her UK friend Shelia's group. Carly reminded the group about Barry's London Palladium run next summer. Then she told them about Barry's cruise idea. Why would Barry want to do a cruise said Barbara he gets motion sickness. Carly commented to Barbara the it's Brian Murphy who has motion sickness not Barry Manilow. Then one of the other members asked Carly if she was coming to London June twelfth through June nineteenth.  That was the week when the BMIFC was having their convention starting on Wednesday June fifteen and going through Sunday June nineteenth. Carly commented that she was not coming that week. Barbara said "Oh but you have to come." I can't come that week commented Carly. Shelia commented she was sorry Carly couldn't come then. Debbie commented "Don't worry she will be coming that week." Carly knew it was time to tell them everything. Carly added the comment "I'm coming over in July. I'll  be there Friday July eighth through Monday July seventeenth.  That because  I want to celebrate my first wedding anniversary with my husband." Your husband is more important than Barry Manilow I don't think so said Debbie. Barry had come down and saw Debbie's comment. He said to Carly let me take care of this. Carly got up  from her chair and Barry sat down. He commented to what Debbie said. By saying " So you're saying that I'm not as important as Barry Manilow is. That's interesting when you consider that I am Barry Manilow. With that Barry got up and let Carly have her chair back. Carly added a photo of her and Barry on their wedding day underneath Barry's comment. With the comment Mr. and Mrs. Barry Manilow July 12, 2015.

Totally Insane

So if I say that Carly's mentally insane then she maybe put into a mental hospital for good. Yes said Jack. Then Scott Nevins and his husband Barry Manilow can be together. This is what Scott wants Carly Manilow in a mental hospital. If we still had insane asylum's that's where Carly would be. Since Scott would love to see her placed in one of those places. Did you ever see the movie The Nuns Story with Audrey Hepburn? No said Dr. Ginsberg. Well in that movie Audrey's caricature Sister Luke ends up in a Belgium insane asylum where the patients are kept in rooms with doors that have bars across the only window they have. Where they sat in metal bathtubs with wooden covers. The water in the bathtubs was very hot. You can hear their heels hitting the tub floor because of that said Jack. Actually Scott would love it if Carly could end up in some place like that. Well that's not going to happen said Dr. Ginsberg. I talked to Carly right after she got in here. I didn't find anything wrong with her at all. I'm going to have a nurse type up discharge papers to have Carly released said Dr. Ginsberg. Dr. Ginsberg left the room to find the night floor nurse. He found nurse Michaels and told her to type up some discharge papers for Carly Manilow. Dr. Ginsberg said he'd be back after he saw Susie Nicholas. Nurse Michaels went to type up the discharge papers. Once she did she went back down the hallway towards Carly's room. Dr. Emory saw her and said let me see these. He grabbed the papers out of nurse Michaels hands. He looked at them and then tore them up. Dr. Emory said she's not ready to be discharged. We haven't even begun her psychiatric evaluation. He then went into Carly's room and told her and Jack that she wasn't leaving any time soon. We haven't even begun to started her psychiatric evaluation. Also it's way past visiting hours so I think you need to leave said Dr. Emory. Jack gave Carly a kiss on the cheek. He told her he'd talk to Barry and tell him what's going on. Now try to get some sleep he said. Staying up all night worrying won't do any good Jack said. Jack left with Dr. Emory. Carly got up and went to her gym bag. She took out a photo of Barry and her Webkinz beagle.Then Carly put the photo on the nightstand. Got into bed with her Webkinz beagle. Nurse Michaels came in and said she was sorry that Dr. Emory tore up her discharge papers. That's ok said Carly. Now is it ok to have a photo of my husband Barry on my nightstand? asked Carly. Sure said nurse Michaels. This Webkinz beagle reminds me of my own beagle at home Charlie. Actually we have two Labrador Retrievers named Maggie and Max too. They're Barry's two dogs said Carly. Nurse Michaels handed Carly a Miss Fields bag with some of her nibblers and a glass of milk. This is for you and you can call me Kate. I'll be your night nurse tonight. So if you need anything just press this button on your bed controls ok. Tomorrow you'll have  nurse Gabby Lawrence. Oh and Dr. Emory won't be here tomorrow during the day. In fact he's going on vacation for the next two weeks said nurse Michaels. Which is actually good since of the nurses on this floor  don't like him. He's way to mean to the patients.  So you try to get some sleep ok said nurse Michaels. Ok said Carly. Then  she began to cry after nurse Michaels left. The next morning nurse Gabby Lawrence came into the room. Hi Carly she said. Did you get any sleep last night? A little bit said Carly. Gabby handed Carly her cell phone. Go a head a call your husband Barry. I'm sure he's worried about you. That's awfully nice of you said Carly. Dr. Emory is the only mean one on this floor. I think he wishes we still had insane asylums so we could put people away forever. Nurse Kate Michaels said he would be gone for the next two weeks said Carly. Yes he will be but I need to check your charts to see if he signed off on anything. If he did then we have no choice but to follow his orders. Gabby pulled up Carly's chart on her lap top. She looked to see what was there. It looks like you might be getting transferred to another hospital said Gabby. It looks like your chart says Buffalo Psychiatric Center in Buffalo, South Oaks Hospital in Amityville and New York Presbyterian Westchester Division White Plains. Maybe they're trying to figure out which one has a bed for you. Carly quickly made her phone call just incase someone else came and wouldn't let her talk. The phone rang and Barry said hello. Hi said this squeaky voice it's me Carly. Oh sunshine how are you holding up asked Barry. Ok said Carly.  Dr. Emory was a real pain last night. I heard said Barry. Jack stopped by and told me all about it.At least the nurses are nice. Gabby who's my nurse today let me use her cell phone to call you. That was real nice of her said Barry. Then last night nurse Kate Michaels brought me some Mrs. Fields little nibblers cookies and a glass of skim milk. I better let you go incase someone else comes in and I get busted for talking to you. Ok said Barry I love you. I love you too said Carly. Carly gave Gabby back her cell phone. I did not want to talk to long incase someone else came in and busted me for talking on the phone. Gabby said she needed to check on another patient and she'd be right back. Soon there was a knock on Carly's door. In came a attendant with a wheel chair. The person said it's time to go. Go where? asked Carly. The persons named on their shirt was James Stark. He said just swing your legs down. Carly swung her legs down off the bed. James then put restraints around her ankles. He then told Carly to get up which she tried to do. But it was hard walking with the restraints on. She ended up falling on the floor. Get up barked James. Carly tried to get up but couldn't. So James grabbed her arm and pulled her up. That's when Carly began to cry. James said Dr. Emory was right you are insane. To bad we don't have insane asylums any more. You should be put in one he barked. Carly just kept crying. Right now she felt defeated. Gabby came back into the room where she saw Carly in the wheel chair. She asked the guy where are you going with her. It's time for her to go said James. And why is she wearing restraints?  asked. Gabby. Because she's insane said James. That's what Dr. Emory put on her chart chronically insane. Gabby pressed call bell on Carly's bed and asked for someone to come quick. Dr. Harris came as fast as he could. What's up he asked. This is what's up said Gabby pointing to Carly sitting in the wheel chair. Carly was blotting her eyes with a tissue. Dr. Harris noticed the restraints on Carly's  ankles. Now why is she wearing those? asked Dr. Harris as pointed to the restraints.  James said because  she's chronically insane. Who said she was chronically insane? asked Dr. Harris. Dr. Emory said Gabby. Last night when she was brought in Dr. Ginsberg initially saw her. Nurse Michaels said Dr. Ginsberg had one more patient to see and he would be back. However Dr. Ginsberg never did come back. It was Dr. Emory who came in to see Carly. I have a feeling Dr. Emory made sure Dr. Ginsberg didn't come back in to see Carly. Who is her attending physician? asked Dr. Harris. Gabby checked Carly's chart and found out it was Dr. Emory. Gabby said Dr. Emory and he's on vacation for the next two weeks. Sorry but that means whatever Dr. Emory ordered for Carly she gets. Or can we over ride his orders? asked Gabby. I'll have to look into that said Dr. Harris.

Now What

Oh really said Scott. We'll see about that he also said. Carly hung up the phone. Barry and Carly were watching the news when they heard the sirens. Barry got up and went to the front door and opened it up. Here came the police cars and an ambulance behind them. Barry hoped it wasn't for Joe and Edna Ginsberg since they were in their eighties. Thank God it wasn't for them. The instead police were coming up their front steps. Hello officers can I help you. Can we come in they said. Sure said Barry. Carly got up to see what was going on. She came to the foyer and saw the officers. She could see behind them that the paramedics were coming up their front steps too. The paramedics said we need to come in so can you move back. Yes said Barry. So Carly and Barry moved back to let the officers and paramedics come int. Carly knew why they were here. I take it you've come for me she said to the paramedics. Yes they said. Barry looked sort of puzzled as to why they were here for Carly. Carly just had her annual physical last week and she was given a clean bill of health. I don't understand why they're here for you Carly said Barry. There here to take me to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation . Why? your wondering  to make me think I'm going insane. If I think I'm going insane then I'll have to be locked up and put away in a mental hospital. That way you and Scott Nevins can be together. I know you don't want to be with Scott Nevins. But that's what Scott wants is you and him together without me in the picture said Carly. Can I got upstairs and pack my gym bag? asked Carly. Just a few clothes and my toilet bag. Yes said the paramedics. So Carly went upstairs and packed her gym bag. She gave Charlie a hug and kiss. Came back downstairs into the living room. She handed the police her gym bag. Went over to Barry told him she loved him and gave him a kiss on the lips. She grabbed her handbag and put her cell phone inside. She gave that to one of the other officers. She then got on the gurney and laid down. One of the paramedics put straps across Carly to hold her down. Barry was glad it was late and dark outside. That way none of their neighbors would see Carly strapped to the gurney. As soon as they let me come to see you I will said Barry. The paramedics took the gurney down the front steps. Then they loaded it into the ambulance. After it was gone Barry completely lost it. He composed himself the best he could and called Jack. Jack picked up his phone and said hello. Jack it's Barry. Barry what's up you don't sound to good said Jack. Carly just left said Barry. What do you mean Carly just left said Jack. Carly just left strapped to a gurney said Barry. Strapped to a gurney said Jack. Let me start from the beginning said Barry. I got home from my boys night out. Carly was in the living room watching TV. She told me all about watching the Insider. She also mentioned she called you. I turned the TV to the news. When all of a sudden I heard the sirens. I went to the front door to see if they were coming down our street. Well here comes two police cars followed by the ambulance. I hoped it wasn't for Joe and Edna Ginsberg across the street because they're in their eighties. No it was not. The police cars  pulled in front the Andrews next door. The ambulance pulled in front of the Martins house. The police came to the door and I said can I help you officers. They said yes but can we come in. I told them sure. They came into the house. Carly got up and came to the foyer. She saw the paramedics were coming up the front steps. We backed up so they could come in. Carly knew why they were here. To take her to a mental hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. If she's considered mentally unstable she'll be put into a mental hospital. Then Carly will be out of the picture. That's so Scott Nevins and I can be together forever. Now I just thought of something said Barry. Carly thought she might have signed divorced papers earlier today. What if instead she signed papers to commit herself to a mental hospital because she thinks she's going crazy. Jack told Barry not to worry. He'd get her out as soon as he could. Barry told Jack what hospital she was taken to. If you can see her tell her I love her ok said Barry. I sure will said Jack.  Jack went upstairs and got dressed. He got in his car and headed to the hospital where Carly had been taken to. Jack made a quick call to his friend  judge Michael Yavinsky. He explained to Judge Yavinsky why he was calling. Now my clients wife thought she might have signed divorce papers. My client thinks his wife signed papers to commit herself to a mental hospital. I need to get her out why? Because she really doesn't belong in there. She's not insane, doesn't do psychiatric medications nor does she see a psychiatrist. In fact she had her annual physical last week. My clients is Barry Manilow and his wife is Dr. Carly Manilow head veterinarian at the Bronx zoo. Judge Yavinsky did what he needed to do.  Once at the hospital Jack parked his car in the parking garage. He went to the front desk and told them who he was and who he was here to see. The person at the desk told Jack what floor Carly was on and her room number. Jack went to the elevator and went up to the correct floor. A nurse saw him and asked him why he was there. Jack explained to the nurse why he was there. She told him that he could go in and see Carly. Jack knocked on Carly's door. Carly said come in. Oh hi Jack she said. Barry said to tell you he loves you. When I got to your house I could tell Barry had been crying. The nurse went to get the attending psychiatrist. Both of them came in Jack explained what had happened. While my client was at work she had to sign a punch of papers. Some of the papers needed to go out today. When she got home she turned on the TV and caught the Insider entertainment show. Their first piece was about my main client Barry Manilow and his wife of eight weeks Carly getting a divorce. Carly thought she might have signed divorce papers when she signed all those papers at work. Her husband Barry thinks that amongst the papers she signed today  was papers to have her committed to a mental hospital. Barry's been having to deal with this guy named Scott Nevins. Scott claims Barry is gay and that the two of them are a couple. Now the only way to get Carly out of the picture is to have her committed to a mental hospital. If you confirm she's insane then she gets put away for good. Then Barry can get a divorce from his insane wife.

Opening Night Gala Cape Fear Cominity College

Barry went on his iMac to check his email. He saw he had one from Cape Fear Community College. They wanted him to be a part of their inaugural performance season along with Alanis Morrisette, The B-52 and Natalie Cole.  Liza Minnelli was going to open the Humanities and Fine Arts Center on Saturday October third. Cape Fear Community College wanted these other artists to be a part of the inaugural performance. Barry emailed them back to tell them he was busy with opening night of the musical Hare At The Mayflower that night. He also mentioned he was free after October third and could do a solo concert on another Saturday night. He told them to email him if they wanted him to do a show at their Humanities and Fine Arts Center. He then shut off his iMac and went downstairs to take the dog out. Once the dogs were done doing their business he brought them back in. He then went out got into his car to meet up with the guys. It was boys night out. Mean while earlier in the day over at the zoo Carly was giving the penguins their annual checkups. CJ the newest veterinarian came into her office to give her a batch of papers that needed her signature. Carly quickly signed them all. Since CJ said some needed to get sent out today. Carly then went to the lunch room for lunch. Someone had ordered four extra large Napoli's Best pizzas with the works. Carly took two slices and put them on a paper plate. She then went into the fridge for a diet Coke. Carly went and sat in between CJ Nelson and Jeff Freeman. She ate her lunch and then went back to doing checkups on the penguins. Soon it was time to go home. Once Carly got home she saw Barry's note. Carly decided to get a shower and put on her pajamas. Then she went downstairs to make some dinner,. Out of the fridge she got the leftover meat loaf, provolone cheese and Italian bread. She got the Panini press out of the pantry. She made herself meat loaf and provolone sandwich on Italian bread. She got some chips and a glass of skim milk to go with the sandwich. She put everything on a tray and took it into the living room to eat.  Carly decided to eat dinner in the living room while watching TV. She turned on the TV and put it on WCBS channel 2. She looked at clock on the wall. The time was seven thirty. The Insider came on with hosts Kevin Harris and Thea Andrews. Kevin Harris was first up with some breaking news. Kevin said that according to a reliable source Broadway songwriter/jazz artist Barry Manilow and his wife of eight weeks veterinarian Dr. Carly Manilow were getting a divorce. The reliable source also said they saw the divorce papers with Carly Manilow's signature. Holy Mackerel said Carly. She picked up her iPhone and called lawyer Jack McCoy. Jack was at home when he said hello this is Jack McCoy speaking. Jack it's Carly Manilow. What's up Carly? said Jack. I'm at home watching the Insider TV entertainment show. Host Kevin Harris said he had breaking new to report. According to a reliable source Broadway songwriter/jazz artist Barry Manilow and his wife of eight weeks veterinarian Dr. Carly Manilow are getting a divorce. Also according to the reliable source they saw the divorce papers with my signature on them. My newest veterinarian CJ Nelson came into my office right before lunch with a batch of papers for me to sign. CJ mentioned that some of them needed to get out today. So I quickly signed all the papers before I went to lunch. I didn't really look at the papers as I signed them. I could have signed divorce papers without knowing it. Barry's not here right now. It's boys night out. Now I'm by myself. I have a good idea who might be behind this said Carly Scott Nevins. Scott came to our wedding on Sunday July twelfth to stop us from getting married. He then came to Montreal and met us at the fake hotel. Barry figured Scott Nevins might try bothering us at our Montreal hotel. So he told only his manager Marc Hulett and former manager Garry Kief the actual hotel in Montreal we were staying at. Everyone else was told a fake hotel. Scott has always said that Barry was gay. Also that Barry was his boyfriend. Back in the mid sixties Barry married his high school sweetheart Susan Dexiler. They were married for a year and a half. Barry left Susan and asked her for a divorce. Since then Barry's had his share of girlfriends. Lorna Luft, Lorraine Mazzola, Linda Allen, Roberta Kent, Dana Robbins, Abigail Stern, Julie  Berkovic, Skylar Herzbach and me. We saw each other on GMA back in November 2011.  Zoo keepers Tom Hart and John Curtis  were to be on that day. Tom and John were going to show some of the zoos newest baby animals. John got sick so I took his place. Barry, Enoch Anderson, Adrienne Anderson and the cast of 15 Minutes was also on that Friday. That's how we first saw each other said Carly. I wouldn't put it past Scott Nevins to do something to get us divorced, I don't have my own lawyer. I use to use my dad's lawyer James Shift. If I need a lawyer now Barry has  your law firm McCoy, Carmichael and Southerlyn at Law.  The only way that someone else would have been able to file divorce papers would be if they're doing it on my behalf. That would be because I couldn't file the papers on my own due to mental or physical health issues. Well I'm going to let you go said Jack.

New Set Of Wheels

It was Friday morning when Barry and Carly went to the Jeep dealers. Barry and Carly went out and got in Carly's Jeep Wrangler. They headed to Larchmont Chrysler Jeep Dodge. Once there Carly parked her Jeep. They looked around at the cars, SUV's and trucks. One of the dealers came over and asked if they could help them. Carly asked if  Richard Dean was working today. Jim Kelly said he was and that he'd go get him. Soon Richard came out to help them.  I'm here with Barry my husband. Barry's two thousand six Range Rover finally died. So he needs a new vehicle said Carly. Barry had decided he wanted a different color other than black. His 2006 Range Rover was black.   Actually he wanted a different type of vehicle. Barry had three different colored Range Rovers. He had a red one, grey one and a black one. Prior to the Range Rovers Barry had a BMW. and convertible Roll Royce. Barry still wasn't sure what model of vehicle to get He looked the Jeep Renegade. Then he had been thinking about the Volkswagen Beetle. So they left the Larchmont Chrysler Jeep Dodge without putting a down payment on anything. Barry also wanted to look at a Volkswagen. He was thinking maybe a Volkswagen Beetle. So on Saturday Barry and Carly took the subway into Manhattan to the Open Road Volkswagen dealer. Barry looked at the Volkswagen Beetle GRS which was yellow with a wide black stripe down the front and back,. The problem was Barry wasn't sure what he was going to do about getting a new vehicle. So right now all Barry had was his vanity license plate that read NYC RHYM. Carly told Barry that her Jeep Wrangler was ten years old. Even thought is still runs good I've decided to get a new vehicle. Carly wasn't exactly sure what kind to get. Barry and Carly went to a near by deli for lunch. After lunch they headed home to let the dogs out. Carly went to down stairs to her computer room. She turned on her computer and went to check her email. After that she went to Facebook. Over there US fans were begging for more cities. While UK fans were wondering when Barry was going to announce when he was coming to the UK. Carly quickly called Barry on his iPhone. She told him to go check Facebook. Which Barry did. Holy crap said Barry They just won't stop begging. No they won't said Carly. Carly hung up with Barry to let him get back to his work whatever that was. Barry went on his Facebook page to post a new message. Barry left his Facebook page and went to Google. That's when he went surfing for vehicles and dealers. It was now Monday and Carly was at work. So Barry decided he'd go vehicle shopping. He went to Land Rover Larchmont in New Rochelle. One of sales personal came over and introduced himself. Hi I'm Jack Richards. Can I help you find something. I looking for a new SUV said Barry. My 2006 Range Rovers engine blew up a few weeks ago. I took a drive out to Long Island in my Range Rover. On my way home I smelled smoke and pulled over. I got out of the Range Rover and ran away from it as fast as I could. When I got far enough away my Range Rover caught on fire. I called 911 and told them what  had happened. They sent out the police and a fire truck to put out the flames.  When they got there I told them exactly what happened. I also called my mechanic Doug Freeman. He came to tow the Rover and take me home. Since then I've been using a loaner. What kind of Land Rover was it? asked Jack. It was a black two thousand six Range Rover said Barry. I need a big SUV to fit my wife, two big dogs and one little dog in. Jack showed Barry a Range Rover  Sport in a red color. Barry told Jack he wanted black for his color. Barry ended up purchasing a two thousand sixteen Range Rover HSE Td5 3.0L turbocharged V6 diesel in Mariana black pearl. Jack told Barry his Rang Rover  would be in in three weeks. Barry thanked Jack for his help and then he left. When he got home Carly was already there. I was out car shopping said Barry. I went  to Land Rover Larchmont in New Rochelle.  I ordered a two thousand sixteen Range Rover HSE Td6 3.0L V^6 diesel in Mariana black pearl. It has a rear backup camera so you can see what's behind you. Button that starts the Rover without putting a key in the ignition. Sirius XM satellite radio along with the songs on my iPod programed in. Bluetooth so I can talk and keep both hands on the steering wheel. Heated seats with adjustable temperature controls. Total cost for my new Range Rover HSE Td6 with the extra charges is ninety eight thousand three hundred and forty five. It will be in three weeks. This Range Rover takes diesel and not petrol. Now the Jeep Renegade we looked at was a little too small for me said Barry. It's you and three dogs that I need to fit in my SUV. That's why I got that  one said Barry. I need some bells and whistles but not all of them. Now how about you Carly what kind of vehicle are you leaning towards? asked Barry. Two thousand sixteen Volkswagen Beetle R-line said Carly.  I left work early and went to Open Road Volkswagen in Manhattan. It's at 802 11th Avenue. I got to test drive a Volkswagen Beetle R-Line SEL hatchback it was a black one.  The sales person was a guy named Garry Feldman. I asked him if you could get every color in a hatchback. He said yes you can. I told Garry I wanted to rear spoiler on the back. He told which model came with that.  I ordered the Volkswagen Beetle R-Line 2DR hatchback. The color I picked out is called Denim. The price with everything including tax and surcharges came to thirty four thousand four hundred and fifty. Then Carly showed Barry a photo of the car on her iPhone. Wow said Barry that's super cool Beetle.
If we live out west I might have gotten a convertible said Carly. I'm getting a good trade in deal on my Jeep Wrangler. I always liked the opening to the movie Foul Play. That's where Goldie Hawn's caricature is driving on the Pacific Coast Highway 101 in a Volkswagen Beetle convertible. As she's driving your singing Ready To Take A Chance Again.  That's why I'm getting a Volkswagen Beetle said Carly.
