Mercy Sakes

I used to have a pretty decent Aunt Bee imitation in my repertoire:

"Andeeeeeeeeeeee, make me another pitcher of martinis, and no vermouth! Toooo toooo tootsie good bye, sing with me Opie now dance that little monkey dance I taught you DANCE OPIE DANCE! Andeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, where are those martinis?"

But last week I mentioned the unmentionable, yes there was a serious drug problem in Mayberry and Floyd was the dealer:

Yes, I am completely aware that Craig's imitation of Aunt Bee is better than mine. I drove home from Dallas once and worked on that imitation for about 10 hours, in addition to making a few telephone calls "Hi Barry this is John, John Riley.......I recall you used to like to color."

Rest in Peace Jack Hutchinson, you were a good one. 

Upstate New York next week and if I don't see some warm weather soon I'm going to make a fist and just start swinging it everywhere.
