    You’ll need a big tub of popcorn this time because we have two versions of the script for your entertainment, and for the director’s perusal. 
    You have only yourselves to blame for encouraging me.
    The first is the big-budget version.

    If you have been holding your breath, you can now let it out. 
    And now breath in ...  
    Out … and … 
    Yes, you have got it .
    Slippers on.  Stoke that fire.
    The Meddlesome Wife, bereft of her hero, arranges to meet a friend for a walk with the dogs.    Despite having to make several attempts to park at the assigned meeting place, and despite being absolutely…
