Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there. And you mothers? Hey, you already had a day, it's our turn...
We now join our regularly scheduled program...already in progress...
A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born. That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network. And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard. But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door. And Dad was right there to welcome them. 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... Imagination Day! Oh boy! You know what happens on Imagination D

Vuvuzela's torture still reigns effective and hilarious!

Sorry, that could get me banned from here, couldn't it?

Happy Father's Day to you dear Sir!
Cool. I like the new design. And at some point I'm going to have to tune into a soccer game just to see what all the Vulavuzulzala horn thing is all about.
And on the horn thing, I've never before had the sensation of watching a televised sporting event from within a hornet's nest. It's a real buzz! (And it gave me something to write about!)
