Yeah, me too.

Danny Kaye used to present the movie on TV when I was a kid around the holidays. Remember him?

I don't remember him specifically but do remember being very excited for the once-per-year showing of the movie. It was a big event in our house when I was a kid.

It was shown every year in the mid 60s on Sunday night. My family gathered around the TV to watch and yes, was a big event in our house too.

Especially loved Judy Garland as Dorothy (who didn’t).

Danny Kaye was a comedian in movies and TV. Had his own TV show for a while.

The movie that scared the crap out of me was “The Blob” starring
Steve McQueen. I had nightmares for days afterwards.

My knees are a constant work in progress. If I don't exercise them almost daily they'll start hurting again.

I have lost so much padding/fluid in my knee caps that I can't even kneel or crawl any more without excruciating pain...even on a pillow or padded mat.....

I briskly walk 3 miles almost every night. Years ago my knees started hurting during my walks. The only way I can describe it is it felt like glass in my knees cutting me with almost every step. So I started exercising my knees; squats, lunges, stair stepping. First without weights, then I added weights. The pain went away. If I miss days of walking or exercising, it can come back so I have to be dilligent about it.

When I hear music on the street, I STILL run out the front door yelling "Ice cream man" I dance around in the front room until my wife nods her head.

Similar, but less enthusiastically when I hear the old bicycle horn: "Honey, elote guy!" (metal trash can full of hot water, ears of corn, butter, mayo, grated parmesan, chile powder)
