Simple pleasures...


Tonight is the night I get to watch one of my all time favorite shows from childhood. Not sure why I found the Soap spin off so enticing, but when I saw TV Land was airing it, I devoured it for weeks. I watched nothing else. Which is odd that I would watch something that would bring me back to my childhood.

I have a musician friend, who every time I go to see him perform, brings me back to a dark place in my childhood. However, this has never happened while watching Benson.

Could it be that TV, even then, was my escape in a very elemental way? And that with things in my life being kind of topsy turvy I want to return to that same safe place from childhood again?
