Oh that's funny. I have a funny story.

My son and daughter-in-law live in an apartment where I am often caring for my grandson. One day their landlord Dan and his father-in-law came over to make a repair. And as they were talking amongst themselves, I thought I heard, "That character on Bonanza." So I run right out to the kitchen and say, "Character on Bonanza? Which one?" And Dan said, "We were saying 'character on Van Anden' (a street in our town, one of their houses). It was funny.

I couldn't help them. I didn't know this character on Van Anden. We all had a good laugh. But I do know that Van Anden was an old Irish neighborhood. I lived there myself with my grandparents. Hiberians are still there.
