Sleepless in my chattel

So what does one do when for some reason his healing body that has been allowing sleep any time anywhere decides to reverse itself? Well I went and searched on Sept 2nd just to see what happened today.

What I found of interest was that it is the day Bob Denver died. Most people think of Gilligan when Denver’s name is mentioned. I like to remember Maynard G. Krebbs from the Dobie Gillis Show. Bob played Maynard, a beatnik. He always entered a scene with “You rang?” Whenever anyone mentioned the word “work” Maynard would shudder and back away shrieking “work” in a high-pitched voice as if it were a disease. What made the show different was that it was the first TV show that centered on teenagers and portrayed them as people. It was a silly show, but it had its moments.



I don’t know what it is about the famous Denvers, Bob and John, but at times in my life I have been told that I either looked or moved like them. Bob Denver even got drafted and flunked the physical – scary!
