So many life lessons are in a Charlie Brown cartoon...

"Never jump in a pile of leaves with a wet sucker"

Never get between a woman and chocolate...a paraphrase if you will of "the fury of a woman who's been cheated out of tricks-or-treats."

and of course, the three things you don't discuss with people..."religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin!"

Thanks Charles Schultz! May my blog, like Linus' pumpkin patch, always be the most sincere.

Just one little request, though. If you could somehow get ABC to air the Dolly Madison fruit pie advertisements during Peanuts specials, that would be great. Those were very much part of the whole experience back in the 70's...and I always wanted 'em! Of course, mom never bought them. Right up there with my lack of pets, character bedsheets, and Underoos. Yep, the things from childhood I am bitter about...but that's another blog.
