HarvestFest in FS

This weekend is the annual buckaroo bacchanalia in Fort Stockton known as "HarvestFest." We'll be doing the 52 mile round trip bike tour out to the winery (I keep trying to type "refinery"; I guess it is, in a way). We're told they're having a grape stomp this year, and we'll try to conjure up the spirit of Lucy Ricardo.

I may have some photos to bore you with, but don't look for much else in these parts over the weekend.

Besides, you need to be out playing in the lawn sprinklers while the weather's still nice. And close the door behind you; you're letting out the A/C!

That particular I Love Lucy episode is a jewel, isn't it? Lucy is one of those special characters, almost timeless and forever funny.

I wonder what other TV or big screen character would fit in the same category as Lucy?

Jerry Lewis, or perhaps Gilda Radner? Although a lot more bawdier, how about Benny Hill ( my dad's personal favorite).

I'd throw Bob Newhart and Dick van Dyke into that mix.

Benny Hill? I haven't thought of that guy in years!

But, speaking of funny Brits, John Cleese qualifies.
