My oncologist is a Dick van Dyke fan and has this autographed picture in one of his exam rooms. He said he met Dick van Dyke once and he was a very friendly, nice guy. Last week I had an appointment with my doctor and I started to think about the opening song to that show and the scene where Rob Petrie either trips over or avoids tripping over the ottoman in the living room. I had that song in my head for three days. I think it's back.

Wait a minute, I'm so confused. I thought your doctor was a John Wayne fan. Now you tell me he is a Dick Van Dyke fan? My brain is having trouble computing this.
ReplyDeleteThe radiation oncologist is the Duke fan!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the song (and don't remind me), but I sure remember him tripping over the ottoman... or was it the one step down into the living room? Funny how certain scenes are indelibly, if imprecisely, marked in the brain, and I can't even remember where I put my glasses. I know, long-term short-term memory. But you gotta give credit to the person who thought up that little bit of physical acting. It perfectly defined Dick Van Dyke's character.
