"You very much do a quality blog and deserve recognition for it. I'm glad I found you and that more people will now too! Cool!"



"You are the bomb diggity!
I'm not surprised you got such a great award.
You write good stuff here Mr. Nomi! And it's always good for a chuckle or two or three!
*smile*
Don't worry, I'll follow you to wherever you go in cyberland.
I'm like a puppy nipping at your blogging heels.

So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows...
