SATURDAY TV REVELATIONS

I JUST FINISHED WATCHING A SOUTHERN YANKEE/RED SKELTON 1948, MR. PEABODY AND THE MERMAID/WILLIAM POWELL 1948.  SATURDAY MOVIES I SAW AS A CHILD.  I'D CLEAN HOUSE IN THE MORNING AND WATCH MOVIES IN THE AFTERNOONS.  MOM AND DAD SHOPPING OR VISITING THEIR FRIENDS, A& M OUT WITH THEIR FRIENDS AND ME HOME ALONE.

SUCH A TREMENDOUS FLASHBACK.  I PICKED UP THE DVDS FROM THE LIBRARY YESTERDAY. 

MY HISTORY IS COMING BACK TO ME.  SUNDAYS EVERYONE WOULD BE HOME AND I'D READ IN MY ROOM I SHARED WITH M.  THE SERVANT IN THE ATTIC WHILE THE FAMILY ENJOYED THE CLEAN HOUSE..  UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS.  I'D BE CALLED FOR MEALS.  DON'T EAT TOO MUCH OR TOO LITTLE AND BE HUMILIATED.

I NEVER HAD A HOME OR FAMILY.

A HUGE HOLE IN MY LIFE.  WHOLE.
