This night's episode had the family take in sick animals for a home zoo. Cox did say in his mushy speech something like where would we be if kids grew not hugging their loved ones or friends (weird to hear in part of our current context, prescient in the other part...)<br /><br />Gotta go watch this night's installment of McCloud! John Denver is in it!!!!Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14817768602839199122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107193537171554216.post-2874936540740770452012-02-25T09:49:35.832-05:002012-02-25T09:49:35.832-05:00My older brothers (and myself to a certain extent)...My older brothers (and myself to a certain extent) were treated to home haircuts by my dad when short hair was in style (in my case, no longer in style by the early 70's). But by 5, I was going to a local barber. I associate hair cuts with comic books and candy as there was a Rexall Drug in the same plaza (comic books) and a Ben Franklin Dime Store (candy). Occasionally, we would have lunch at the Burger Chef which was also in the same plaza. The last haircut my barber gave me was for my wedding. He retired shortly afterward. However, the original owner of the shop still operates there and I take my boys to him. The decorations are still the same as when I was going and it's like a step back in time. Unfortunately, the Rexall Drugstore, Ben Franklin and Burger Chef are all long gone.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03119827816698009731noreply@blogger.com
