Ursula Mink is the Robot Lady to millions of women in the southern California area, in her live TV show, The Good Life. It's the near future, an era of household robots, security robots, and express tracks for commuting into cities. Houses talk to their owners, fix dinner, and sort the mail. Ursula's fans envy her confidence with gadgets, her beauty, and her fame. They are sure she sips martinis by a huge pool with gorgeous men lined up to meet her every whim. Ursula lives on muffins and fruit punch and she is lonely in spite of her handsome celebrity boyfriend. Her greatest joy is pulling weeds out of her flowerbeds, until she meets her homeless next-door neighbor. Monte Cicero may live in a gardener's barn and invent robots but he's also the most passionate man she has ever met and his dark Asian eyes haunt her dreams. Enter her new boss, determined to make her his pet, and holding a grudge against Monte. A wise mouth African parrot and hilarious guests on her show add spice to the mix for a hysterical romp through small time stardom and the tribulations of a torrid love affair.

Influx into the Choctaw Nation in the late nineteenth century included the development of a town that began when a wheel-less boxcar was left beside the KATY railroad tracks. That town is Durant. The Catholic Church received a visible, permanent status in Durant with the establishment of Saint Catherines Mission. The mission became a parish in 1912 with the assignment of a resident pastor. By the middle of the twentieth century, new facilities were necessary and, when a new church was built, the name of the parish was changed to Saint William. The author sketches the history of Saint Catherines and Saint Williams from its beginnings to the present day, which is the centennial of the congregations status as a parish. Not only are the clergy and religious who served the people featured, issues faced over the years are detailed. Also, a few of those laypersons whose support escapes the anonymity normally afforded the congregants are mentioned.
