A big 80th birthday shout out to Carol Burnett. (Birthday week has been exhausting but it's been worth it with nearly 1,000 hits since Monday!)
Back in the days when people used to stay home and watch TV on Saturday nights, The Carol Burnett Show was an enormous hit, but it didn't come on until 10 o'clock, which is pretty late when you're only six or seven. Actually, it's also pretty late when you're inching up toward fifty, but that's another story.
In order to stay up that late I had to be on my best behavior, and even then a fair amount of begging was involved. I almost never made it to Carol's final ear tug before conking out from exhaustion, but it was always fun to try.
