M*A*S*H: Am I That Old?

I enjoy television programs that tell a story. Showing my age, I eagerly awaited my appointment TV to watch M*A*S*H. To my surprise, I just bought a copy of Life magazine celebrating the show’s fifty-year anniversary. Holy smokes!

It seems the show has been a big part of my life. I used to watch the reruns in the morning before going to work. Then, the entire series came out on DVD. I know I can watch it on Hulu now, but I still have those DVDs as a reminder that my FIL gave them to me annually for Christmas until I had the entire set.
It all came full circle last week when we stopped at Merb’s Candies and chuckled at the poster on the wall of the famous candy making scene from I Love Lucy. The poster had the names of the employees who were most like each person in the poster.

It made me remember when my staff started calling me Colonel Sherman T. Potter knowing my love of M*A*S*H. It was a crazy time at my job, but I was comforted knowing my team trusted me to be their fearless leader and that is no “horse hockey!”
