Nicely slow Monday.

At one point I was camped out in front of the books section of a "Goodwill" store. Nothing too stunning, although there was one Hunter S. Thompson offering, and "The Secret Life of Bees" - which I swear was prominently on display in any/all bookstores back in the 90's. (Never so much as picked one up to see what it was about, come to think of it....)

Back from dinner out. Spaghetti and meatballs for yours mostly truly, California something-or-another pizza for my wife.

We've been re-watching

Leave It to Beaver

of later, which had me re-appreciating

again, whom I'm more familiar with of

The Dick Van Dyke Show

fame.

Much rain today.

hey Inquiry,

Which HST book was it? From sheer volumes sold, I'd guess Hell's Angels or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

I think I know what type of pizza you speak of - California Kitchen. There is a California Kitchen restaurant in a mall the next county over, and I bought gift cards to there for me and my two sisters. They forgot they had theirs, and I lost mine. They were valued at like $40 each, too, because that place is expensive.

Leave It To Beaver aired on Nick At Night back in the day, but I didn't tune in too often. I guess there had to be a "time and place" understanding of it all to make it "understandable". It seemed like pure fiction of conformity, rules, rigid parenting, and formal attitudes. Not that the show was "bad", just unrealistic by my 1990s standards, back when the show was on that channel.

Dick van Dyke, though, that was funny ish. Especially when Mary Tyler Moore came into the fold (she was a "new" member at some point, right?). I think Van D is still ticking, too. He was in Night at the Museum with Ben Stiller a decade ago, and is like 105 now(??).

Or, he might be dead. I don't know.

Hope you're doing good :)
