I noticed the name on the credits because "Elsie Snuffin" was the name of Danica McKellar's character on The West Wing -- Will Bailey's half-sister and co-worker. Since Kayla Blake worked on Sports Night with Sorkin, this can't be a coincidence, can it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-46937663769422212052008-07-09T07:47:00.000-07:002008-07-09T07:47:00.000-07:00Might be somewhat crass and excessively demanding,...Might be somewhat crass and excessively demanding, but are you going to post the other episodes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-35736059364905385882008-07-09T01:32:00.000-07:002008-07-09T01:32:00.000-07:00Hi Ken:Really enjoyed it.
