Alan Alda (Hawkeye Pierce in the MASH TV series) was very upset as a child when his dog died and his well-meaning father sent the dog to a taxidermist. Nice idea but it was not a success. Oh gee. It sounds horrendous.
I've bought the Kindle version of one of his books £3.99.

I remember watching MASH on my portable B&W telly in my bedroom when I was a kid. That made me think, Blimey, that programme must be really old. It is old, but it hasn't dated. Husband and I are rewatching the series yet again.
Alan Alda's real name is Alphonso Joseph D'Abruzzo.

I always enjoyed the re-runs, it is back on one of the freeview channels I think.

Love M.A.S.H. Showing some age there I think. A bit like the recent research that shows songs are becoming simpler, repetitive and self-absorbed. I think TV is also doing this. Why I like watching old TV reruns (including Hong Kong Phooey, Wil O’ the Wisp, Moomins and Bagpuss to name but a few, I do watch adult TV too such as Bergerac, Midsomer Murders etc), they seem simpler but more complex all at once.

Brilliant, Myrrk…..I feel so much better now that I know at least one other person watches such things…..Percy the park keeper always makes me smile!
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.
