So long "crappy" outlook. Hello fun time.

1947, 48, I would lay on the livingroom floor listening to "The Shadow," and "Green Lantern," and "Batman," doing my homework. I'd be there for hours because I did more listening then homework, but the homework got don.

Sometime in 48, Dad bought one of those contraptions that looked like a milk bottle bottom in design. Later in life I called it a "modulated milk bottle." He had to get permission to put up the antenna from the landlord. I really got concerned when he took aluminu foil and wrapped it around the antenna lead. But then, he cleared up the picture by sliding the foil up or down that lead until the picture was clearer. It wasn't until later in life that I finally understood that principle. I don't think he did, but knew it would work.

Well, I have to go now. DW just told me "American Idol," is on.

Nah! Na! Na! Nah! Na! Na!
