A young man sleeps with his dreams

And live through life's in-betweens"

I think I would like to see Don Knotts' movies remade starring Harry Conick, Jr. in the rolls Knotts played. Not as the sappy slapstick originals, but as a more uptodate Gump-esque treatment:

Last night I attended a service at the Memorial Spiritualist Church in Norfolk, Virginia where eseffjoe's partner Jim was the visiting pastor. It was a wonderful sermon and he closed by reciting the owrds of the Beatles from nearly 40 years ago. It brought me back to our boys, made me see Jack's acceptance of reality in the trail head parking lot:

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.
Let it be, let it be, .....

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

I liked The Ghost and Mr. Chicken.

Just dropped in to say hi, Truman.   :)



Same here!  "...and they used Bon Ami"

Watching Don Knotts movies it is amazing how many of them are so similar to episodes of the Andy Griffith show, same story lines, same sets, same wardrobe...... :o

Today would have been Billy Carter's 72nd birthday.
