Slowly I Turned...

I will be out of town for about a week, and it's not likely I will be checking in here or even on email. My wife and I are leaving the kids with my parents and bolting for some adult alone time in Ontario - Toronto and the Niagara region. I don't think we'll have trouble staying occupied, but I'm bringing a couple of books along in case of downtime Specifically, I'll be bringing the latest from my favorite contemporary science fiction author (guesses?) and then re-reading Mean Martin Manning, which I heartily recommend to all of you.

We'll probably be spending at least two nights at the Falls. I'm curious to see how much the Canadian side has changed since I was last there.

And much to my wife's dismay, I confess I will have difficulty not making references to the clip here:

So anyway, I'll see you when I get back.

Good stuff, but I always got a bigger kick out of the Abbott & Costello "Baker Street" routine.

I wonder which came first.

Hey, speaking of which came first:

Today somebody would be suing somebody over this.

Make that "Bagel Street" (a/k/a "Fluegal Street," a/k/a "Susquehanna Hat Company")

Nice clips, thanks. I like that A&C version better, actually. I know it's an old Vaudeville routine, so I don't know how that would hold up in court. There was even an episode of I Love Lucy where she hires a guy to teach her the bit, so she can (of course) perform it at the club.

I find this especially funny, since Lucy actually grew up very close to my hometown, not far from Niagara Falls.

NIAGARA FALLS! SLOOOOOOOOOWLY I TURNED!
