I was just watching an old episode of a television variety show known as 'The Carol Burnett Show' on Yahoo.com. I remember watching this show as a young child with my parents and siblings. The episode that I was watching was when Tim Conway was on the show for the second time. He wasn't a regular part of the cast yet. Not sure of the exact date of this episode but I think it was the early 1970's for Carol was wearing a skirt that was crocheted and making jokes about it. From what I was able to watch Harvey Korman played Col. Flanders and Carol played a character that was interviewing him. 'The Carol Burnett Show' always made fun of various commercials of the time as well as even having song and dance times with her guest stars. These were the days of the prime-time variety shows as well as a few daytime shows that were like Carol's show like 'The Mike Douglas Show' or even 'The Merv Griffin Show' if I remember right for that show was on after I had to go to bed at 9PM for it was usually on a school night. Who thinks these kinds of shows would make it on television today for they were quite fun to watch especially Carol's show.

The Gray Door
Walking down the road where there is a cottage with a gray door, I always seem to notice flowers of some kind. One thing this cottage is empty on all accounts: when you look in the windows no furniture, nothing in the yard and no people. You begin to wonder who places all the flowers by the door. It does make the little cottage homey in appearance. If one listens really carefully the cottage says "Come live in me, I will make you feel comfortable for you and your family, but don't forget place some flowers by the door, okay.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

That is a great show, I remember watching it when we were very little. It was a great time for variety shows.
