Female TV host to leave Hometime

Robin Hartl has left her job as co-host of the home improvement TV show, "Hometime." This would've been her 13th year. She apparently decided to go for the bigger bucks working for one of the show's sponsors. Her last show was taped in August.

Here's the scoop on her departure:

According to the "Hometime" web site, her female replacement is Miram Johnson. Miriam's shows are supposed to start airing in March.

I noticed that the "Hometime" site still calls the male, Dean Johnson (no relation to Miriam) as "host."

On the homefront, I got what I hope will be my final coat of paint on today. It was mainly touching up the desktop and doing the back sides of the remaining shelves. I beat the light rain that started this afternoon. Maybe one day after work this week I can at least get the desktop installed :-)
