Thanks for the tip about the PBS American Masters show on Johnny Carson. I loved the Tonight Show.

I'll check out PBS AM on netflix, Johnny was the best. Ironically I am better off with the plumbing working.... had two months off from the flashing nastiness and now the new moon came and all I got was hot flashes during a heat wave. I would have preferred the plumbing

Hello Darling Lady ! Talk about Deja Vu - I had just finished watching the PBS documentary about Johnny Carson a few minutes before coming over to your wonderful blog and here you are talking at length about how he made such an impact on your life. Swear to God I am not making this up whatsoever La. Freaky cool to be sure. I guess GREAT minds do think alike, eh? I am sorry to hear about the return of the crimson tide once again and how terribly it affects your ability to function in daily life. I can't imagine how men would react if we too had to endure that monthly cycle of madness for many years of our lives, certainly not as well as women I'm sure. Hopefully it will disappear as fast as it showed up and this time stay GONE for good. And I leave you with this wonderful Carson joke that I know you just heard but GAWD it almost made me pee my pants when I heard it about 20 minutes ago : " Siss Boom Bah " (Siss Boom Bah echoes Ed) Describe the sound when a sheep explodes..." Damn I miss Johnny Carson, what a Helluva man.

I understand your watching Johnny Carson -- I was like that with the shows that started that time slot, although I was past six when I started watching them. We didn't have a TV when I was six -- I was more like eight when we got our first television. I discovered that I could tiptoe down the stairs as my parents watch TV at night -- I'd sit on about the 4th or 5th step on the stairs and could see into the living room with a good view of the TV but out of sight of my parents. This was 1951 and they would sometimes watch the start of Broadway Open House (Morey Amsterdam and Jerry Lester and "Dagmar") -- from 11 pm until midnight (although my folks usually did not watch the whole show, but I had plenty of time to slip quietly upstairs). After Broadway Open House folded, a year or so went by before Steve Allen hosted the first real "Tonight" show in that time slot, a local show out of NY at first but then NBC made it a network show. Allen invented many of the things that make up the Tonight show (and its competition as well). Then they gave Steve Allen a prime time show and brought Jack Paar in to host the tonight show -- by then (summer of 1957) we were in summer vacation and I was 14 so I could stay up late to watch it... and continued to watch when school began again because I was now a high school student.

I think I "warned" you a few blogs back not to be too surprised if the Red wars returned. Happened to me as well and was usually when I had scheduled a pap test....never failed for a couple of years. Like my body just KNEW and had to make an appearance. I went over a year and it came back again....just sayin'
