Vintage television. I like watching some old tv shows, especially ones from the 1950s. I feel like it gives the viewer an opportunity to look through a window into the past.

Though I realize, that may sound funny to people who lived in that era when they were mature enough to remember it. That is they weren't such a tiny kid that they were oblivious at the time.

I especially enjoy the old game shows because you see ordinary people being themselves. I like what seems to me to be the earnest, kind, decent Americans of post WWII times. The shows lack the pizzaz of modern ones, but to me that recommends them, rather than detracting from them.

My happy thing today is a good book. I just picked up three more at Borders yesterday, read half of the first one last night before I went to bed and expect to finish it tonight; will likely be done with all three by the middle of the week.

The thing that I love so much about reading is that it allows me to follow an author's imagination in my own way. A book might be read by tens or hundreds of thousands of people, and each of them will have a different "movie" running in their imaginations from everyone else.

I agree. I too enjoy that the best film version of any book is the one in my head.
