A little digression here after being bombarded all day by TV news, mostly bad. The person washing the windows in the photo reminds me of the “I Love Lucy” episode where she dresses up like Superman for Little Ricky's birthday and plans to “fly” in through the apartment window. It is raining outside where she is 3 stories up on the ledge and she is besieged by pigeons. Of course the “real” Superman, George Reeves, has made it to the party and rescues her from the ledge.

Times were so much simpler then, it was fun for our family to drive to the grandparents’ house every Monday night to watch Lucy on their tiny TV and have fresh-baked cherry pie. Sorry for the off-topic post.

I pine for that time of *innocence.*

Reminds me of my dad, who was a brilliant inventor and engineer....when teevees first came out, he wouldn’t succumb to buy one for the family, b/c as he said, *I’m not sure they will catch on*. As a kid, I had to go to a neighbor’s house to watch those cool shows. I swear, we are the *last* people in our town to get a TV. ;)

Perry Mason, Twilight, Lucy, Ed Sullivan, Leave It to Beaver, You Bet Your Life...and all the rest. {{{sigh}}}
