Yesterday I drove past a house with the Leg Lamp in the window. I had to stop the car, back it up and look again.

I don’t know about “My summer story, but there was a movie called “Ollie Hopnoodles Happy haven of bliss” —or something to that effect…Havent seen it in years, but it followed Ralphie and his family on their summer vacation to these ramshackle lake cottages. pretty funny! My family used to go to Stan & Jan’s cottages every summer in the eary 80′s in northwestern PA, brought back a lot of memories. Peter billingsly wasnt in it though, the kid that was Ralphe was….kinda eh.

Well, my Red Ryder buddy did almost put his eye out…in 1958 or so. He shot against a tree, and the ricochet hit him in the canthus and got behind his eyeball, where it partially detached his retina. True story, from age 11 or so.

Peter Billingsley also made an appearance at Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show in San Diego. He also had a bit part in Elf as one of the head elves…

The movie is my dad’s favorite, and has of course become one of my favorites as well now over the years.

I was just in Cleveland for Christmas and we took our first ever visit to tour the Christmas Story house and met the woman who played the mean elf at the Department Store…

Just wanted to echo Mikey – our local theater group performed the play this year, and it’s excellent.
