What is the Atomic Gooch? "Gooch" refers to Agnes Gooch, Mame Dennis' secretary. She's a sweet girl, but kind of a nebbish, In any case, I consider myself to be an Agnes Gooch type. This rather long clip from Auntie Mame features a very pregnant Agnes at about 1:30.

"Atomic" refers to the fact that I have cancer. Stage 4 breast cancer to be exact. No, I did not contract it from hanging around nuclear power plants or mushroom clouds. I just thought "Atomic Gooch" was a cool name for a blog. I bet poor Agnes felt lots more Atomic as an unwed mother in the '50s than I do with cancer in 2015.
