I'm ba-a-a-a-ack (with some more old TV commercials, too!)

Welcome back, welcome back …

You thought I was going to start singing the theme song to “Welcome Back, Kotter,” didn’t you?

Relax, the only one I torture with my singing is my dog. But, it’s good to
be back after a week’s vacation. (They go by so quickly, don’t they?)

I’m going to revive the blog by talking about some more commercials.

Anyone out there remember the Calgon dishwashing detergent commercial? I have the entire commercial in my head now.

“How do you get your shirts so clean, Mr. Lee?”
“Ancient Chinese secret.”
“My husband, some hot shot. Here’s his ancient Chinese secret, Calgon.”

And people wonder why I have no short-term memory …

Or how about the McDonald’s jingle: “You deserve a break today. So get up, and get away, to McDonald’s.” And, I’ve decided I’m going to spend the rest of my life in Burger King so I can always have it my way, have it my way, at Burger King. I also became adept at knowing what went into a Big Mac long before I flipped burgers in my college days. (“Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.”)

You can check out the Calgon commercial on YouTube.com here:
