Gene Wilder’s passing came as a shock to many of his fans. We can’t imagine him as an old man.
Over and over again, we watch his classic movies in which he’s young and vibrant, or, at least, middle-aged and vibrant. You can stream almost all of his most famous movies, with the exception of “Young Frankenstein.” Everything else is available on Amazon Video and sometimes on Google Play or other pay-per-view options.…

I remember visiting the Carnegie Museum of Natural History at least once when I was a kid, or maybe a teenager. Suffice it to say that it was a really long time ago.

When I was a kid, we had a big TV antenna on the roof of our house. We could pick up a handful of stations – some more clearly than others – by using a dial which moved the antenna around to the best position for a particular channel. Any other television sets in the house used metal rabbit ears.
