The Sound Of Music

I saw The Sound Of Music at the drive in , 1963 or 1964.I was 5 or 6 years old. Then we got the record album with all the songs from it. We played it over and over. "My Favorite Things" was a song from that flick. "When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel so bad". Great song. With apologies to Julie Andrews, the 2007 version goes: "I'm so boring, now you're snoring, makes me feel so sad. But I simply remember my favorite things, and then I don't feel so bad". Here are a few of them, in no particular order: Pizza,with triple cheese,triple pepperoni cold,wet cat noses, baseball trips with my friend Mark, my bride's french toast(NOBODY makes it better), watching George Brett swing a bat, The Match Game, lasagna, college football Saturday with Mark(the women shop,the men eat junk food and watch football), The Chapel at Crosspiont, Court TV(Forensic Files, Body of Evidence) Birds bathing or drinking , A Dairy Queen Blizzard, Leave It To Beaver and The Munsters. A side note: The do not call list is expiring.Now I will have all sorts of salespeople calling and listening to my message on the answering machine. I may cure an insomniac or two. Maybe I've found my calling...

i remember going to the drive-in to see that movie too! and to this day it's one of my all time favorites!
do you remember when mom made us go see "Fiddler on the Roof" at the Kensington theater? we thought we would absolutely HATE it... and then we walked around singing the songs for weeks afterward! God rest her soul, she knew what she was doing.
