     When I broached the subject with my father, when I worked up the nerve to speak to him about my Crazy Idea, I made sure it was in the early evening.  That was always the best time with Dad.  He was relaxed then, well fed, stretched out in his vinyl recliner in the TV nook.  I can still tilt my head back and close my eyes and hear the sound of the audience laughing, the tinny theme songs of his favorite shows, Wagon Train and Rawhide.
