Something Stupid....

I updated the website tonight, with more current pictures of Chez Vel-DuRay and now it's time to unwind. What better way than with Mike Douglas and Patty Duke?

Before there was Oprah, before there was Phil Donahue, there was Mike Douglas. My Mom loved this show, but I mostly remember the flower. It was a graphical element (if that's what the kids are calling it these days) that was everywhere in the late '60's, but especially on the Mike Douglas Show.

Even Omaha got in the act: The Brandeis store at Crossroads (THE mall - literally - in Omaha in the late 60's) used that flower graphic in their logo. They also had a huge atrium/fountain thing in the middle of their store that was ages beyond anything Omaha could cope with stylistically, but I digress.

Anyway, here's Mike and Patty and the flower logo. Take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy something stupid.
