      You know you're old when you know where all the restrooms are located in a medical building.

      I watched a little of that, man, that goes way back. There was a segment with Rodney Allen Rigby. Anyone remember him? He did a Jack N the box commercial when the Jumbo Jack first came out...."It too big uh eat". He also had short part in the movie Blazing Saddles

      In Waco, station KWTX featured Uncle Elihu (with his ukulele) and his hand-puppet sidekick P.J. Possum every afternoon. Kids in the studio lined up to get a "Possum Grin" when P.J. would nibble their fingers.

      We lived across the street from the 10-acre field behind the studio where we played baseball and banged on the cables holding up their antenna. The studio building is now a funeral home and the field has been replaced with a small crowded subdivision of lookalike homes.

      It does indeed look like a young Mr. Dean.
      But not Tom Bodett, former Alaskan, now a Woodchuck*. He's the guy who kept the light on for us at Motel Six.
