I must apologize for the delay in announcing the winner of Thrilling Days of Yesteryear’s Dragnet: Crime to Punishment giveaway—I meant to draw a name this morning, but had
failed to factor in the possibility that my nephew would stop by while walking
(which he did)…and of course, this required a session with the Lincoln
Logs. He is not like other children, who
use their youthful imaginations to build things by their lonesome: he will only
play with the Logs provided I “help him.”
(He’s fond of saying, “Let’s work together”—because
he’s watched way too many of those Thomas and Friends videos.) So he sort of acts as foreman of the
operation, while I provide the labor.
(And when we’ve finished with the construction, he’ll squint at it and
say: “That looks okay.” Except it’s in the same tone of voice you’d
use if you remarked: “I wouldn’t live in a dump like that, but at least it’s up
to code.”)
But enough cute nephew anecdotes—congratulations go out to
my Facebook compadre Tom Cherry, blogger, cartoonist, actor, bon vivant and
photos in one hour. Mr. C will receive
his 10-CD set of classic Dragnet broadcasts (with liner notes
by me!) very shortly…and I want to thank all who entered—as always, if I had enough
sets to hand out to everyone who e-mailed I would without hesitation. But I hope to have some more swag to give
away soon, so until such a time keep reading Thrilling Days of Yesteryear!
