Interesting biographical details.

I vividly remember a Peanuts comic strip growing up in which the punchline is Linus proudly declaring "I finally learned where Ipanema is!"

Why do I vividly remember that?

I remember in the early 70's, Ipanema and Melancholy Baby seemed to be punchlines a lot on TV. Particularly, I dream of Genie. I guess it was the times.

Whoa. If Astrud was blonde or my aunt (the one who died in November) was brunette, they'd be the spitting image of each other.

What do you get if you cross Lassie with a canteloupe?

I have no idea, foop, but that song is singularly excellent. One of my favorites.
