The other day, Daughter Number Three Point One mentioned that a friend of hers was watching The Waltons with her mother. Only DN3.1 pronounced the name as The Waldens.
Feeling every year that separates our generations, I told her that it's Walton with a "t" (like the Waltons who own more wealth than 30 percent of America).
And then I followed up with my take on the signature closing lines from The Waldens:
"Goodnight, Henry David."
"Goodnight, Ralph Waldo."

Too funny.
Did you know the Waltons had a dog named Reckless -- a bloodhound! They had a LOT of animals including a goat.

The Partridge family, on the other hand, had a dog n the first season but it was gone by the second season. What happened to it? Bad family!
I have been thinking about Mr. Thoreau this week too. Did you catch the funny Strib opinion piece "Technological Disobedience"?
