Midwesterners were here!

Melissa and Logan stayed here last night. Supposedly Logan is running in some sort of marathon, but you and I know that was just an excuse. An excuse to sleep on our futon. People will do anything to get on that futon, people.

We were of course thrilled to have them here, which is why I served them undercooked pork. (I was carving up the tenderloin, saw the alarming ruddiness of its insides, and declared, "I'm frightened." Then I made them eat it. They lived.) Henry's enthusiasm manifested itself with several dramatic pratfalls. It's sort of his thing. Only they didn't know that and thought he was just tripping a lot. And that we were neglecting him when he face-planted on the parquet and we didn’t even glance up from our trichinosis.

In return, Logan and Melissa gave us the gift that keeps on giving: the early-80s theme song. Somehow the show "Simon and Simon" entered our conversation, and we looked up the theme song, and our brains were taken over by it. And now we have to share it with you, or we will die. It's like "The Ring," except Gerald McRaney crawls out of your computer in three days.

Oh, I loved that show. Maybe it's because I lived in San Diego at the time.

Like Michelle and Moose in the Kitchen, my husband said, "Why are you listening to the Simon and Simon theme song?" once I started playing the video. I have only vague memories of the show myself, but let me say this: that theme song is TOTALLY ROCKIN'.

You guys are all visiting each other just so you have something to blog about this month, aren't you? And still my ankle is broken.

And now my innocent 8 year old schoolgirl crush on Jameson Parker has been revived.

You know, I kind of miss the days of three TV channels. Seemed like there was a lot more to watch back then than there is now.

Have just googled Jameson Parker and found out he is two years older than my dad. Crush is now officially ended!

Ah . . . Rick and A.J. *sigh* "If it flies, it dies; if it crawls, it falls" is still an important part of my mental catalog.
