Hello friends. It's been a long time since I've checked in with The Genoa City News. So much has happened on The Young and the Restless since then, and yet so little has changed.

In just the past couple of weeks I've been able to see that Sharon, for example, is just as stupid as ever. After snooping through Gloria's purse, Jack and Sharon shared the following exchange:

Sharon: What is it?
Jack: It looks like nose drops.
Sharon: Maybe we should taste it!

Wow. Just - wow. Taste it? Really? I guess we know who should never go on that show called "Are You Smarter Than A Fourth Grader?" In fact they would have to invent a new show for Sharon called "Are You Smarter Than My Dog?" She would still lose.

Now Sharon is worried that Jeffrey Bardwell might be spying on her in the shower. Honey, after sleeping with half the men in town it's a little late for modesty. Why should Jeffrey be the only guy without getting a peek at the goods? And what's up with this "Foundation" she's supposed to be running? Aside from the fact that Sharon can't manipulate a microwave oven let alone some foundation that doles out money I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out what exactly this foundation does. Aside from keeping Sharon too busy to spread her legs for Brad Carlton that is.

Meanwhile the quadrangle of Jack, Sharon, Nick and Phyllis are playing house like it's no big deal they've swapped wives. Wonderful to see how they've gotten over that hurdle. And I see they're setting up offices in some recently abandoned warehouse. Gee, I wonder if that's the same warehouse where Michael and Paul kept Sheila in a cage. Or maybe it's the same warehouse where Victor set up that recreation center for underprivileged youths until Devon found a rich family to live with and we haven't seen since. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

Why did everyone keep saying how great the warehouse looked? There were sheets of plastic hanging everywhere, the duct work was exposed overhead and there was no furniture. Yet Amber walks in and proclaims it should be kept just that way. Is this some new architectural trend I'm not aware of? To have a place of business that looks like it's halfway through an episode of Flip That House? But boy the place sure cleaned up nice. By Friday not only had furniture been delivered but vases and flowers were plentiful and an enormous bookshelf was stocked full of a vast collection of books and odds and ends. It was like half the cast of Trading Spaces attacked it overnight. This episode brought to you by The Learning Channel.

Speaking of setting up house, I'm rather puzzled by Victoria and JT moving into where Sharon and Nick used to live. As far as I can recall, the house in question used to be a guest house on the Newman Ranch which was given to Nick and Sharon when they married. In fact, unless I'm mistaken, Sharon was awarded the property in her divorce settlement and Nikki had to ask her permission to live there. Now it seems to have reverted to Victor's ownership so he can hand it over to JT. But if that's the case then why does he have to loan JT money to buy it? And if that's not the case, why hasn't Sharon agreed to sell it? I'm confused. More
