The Sound of Music is on again tonight.

The Sound of Music (film)

This, according to the over-the-air schedule for the White House, which I use because it's also the over-the-air schedule for me.

And happy 2514th anniversary of the first Saturnalia. Or maybe not. I can't recall how I'm supposed to handle the concept of the change from BC to AD. Was there a year zero? Well, whatever. Wikpedia says the first one was in 497 BC.

Anyway, I love this scene. Hit it, kids:

Damn there were a lot of commercials!

But I was happy to be reminded of one of my favorite songs of all time:



I've been humming it for the past 2 days.
