Year end is always a good time for reflection. Times and conditions change so people have to continually change as well.

Okay, some things are as funny as I remember them. The Carol Burnett Show with Tim Conway and Harvey Korman, the Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In. Catch them on Youtube. Lily Tomlin, starring as Ernestine, the telephone operator-”one ringy dingy (snort), two ringy dingies (snort)!! Is this the person to whom I am speaking?”- triggered a whole series of memories. The party-line! It was a time before farm homes were entertained by television.
