Here I am, late as usual--but I just wanted to add something to a recent important topic I feel has not been explored sufficiently--Donald Duck.   I always identified with Donald--in the Mickey Mouse Club show when he would cover his ears with cymbals to avoid hearing everybody else yell out "Mickey Mouse". (I suppose it's partly since we had cats--and I always thought they got a bad rap in most cartoons--and were always the butt of the joke--while the insufferably goody-two -shoes mice always won) (especially Mighty Mouse and Mickey Mouse).

Also there were some great Donald Duck cartoons during World War II--I just got a bunch of cartoons on DVD. One of my favorites has to do with Donald at the draft board physical. They hold up a red card labelled "Red" and ask Donald what color it is. He says "Red". So they hold up a blue card, labelled "Blue" and ask him the color. "Green" says Donald. "Close enough" says the draft board examiner.

After tomorrow I'll be gone for a week. We'll have a house-sitter--and maybe I can persuade her to sit down at the table. She's a talented musician.
