Jessica, inspiration for BOOMERANG! ... Now We’re Cookin’ sidekick (with Jacques LaTour, famous French chef masquerading as a voice on a French language LP)... and longtime Queen of Complicated Stuff... (That first picture? Where she looks like baby Buddha? This was back when journalists loved Big Hair)... Then that’s her on the right, with Hayley, peering out from those cool 20’s hats once owned by her great-great Grandmother.

For our next special we have Hayley in prom splendor... and then her eyes clearly wondering how her father gets her into these situations. Hayley is BOOMERANG!’s current Queen of Complicated stuff and captain of her volleyball, basketball and baseball teams.

Natalie, occasionally asleep at the wheel, is all over BOOMERANG! these days. In our recent episode #41 she tells the strange story of a 14-year-old stock trader.

Oscar is in charge of security. And, introducing Rose. Stay tuned for further details.
