I’ve always hated chipper morning “news” shows. It stems from childhood, you see my mom would wake me up for school and Good Morning America or whatever (I just remembered some local show named “Fox thing in the morning”, what a title) would be on TV while I ate breakfast. I wanted to be back in bed and definitely not headed to school, and here were these bastards on TV acting so happy! There was nothing to happy about unless it was a blizzard!

We didn't get a TV set until I was in the 3rd grade. Must have been 1954 when we lived in San Antonio as my Dad was the project manager on building hangers at Kelly Air Force Base. As I recall it was a 21-inch table top with an all black finish and my Mom put it on a table in the living room.

I came home from school and there it was! It was showing "Pinky Lee" as the first TV show I saw on it.

Yoo hoo, it's me,
My name is Pinky Lee.
I skip and run with lots of fun
For every he and she.
It's plain to see
That you can tell it's me
With my checkered hat
And my checkered coat,
The funny giggle in my throat
And my silly dance
Like a billy goat.
Put 'em all together,
Put 'em all together,
And it's whooooo?

(Audience): Pinky!

And that Princess Summer-Fall-Winter-Spring... for a 3rd grader: WOW!

Misery luvs company. Autumn is ending in CT in 24 hours.
Hustling to stack wood, get the crop in, finish fall cleanup, and find my winter clothes.

40 days of winter til spring arrives on March 1st.
I wonder why I still long for the day when i can move north.
