A visit home.

One of my favourite things to do when I was little was watch "Star Search"- hosted by Ed Mcmahon, and bake pilsbury chocolate chip cookies.
My recent trip back to Lethbridge had fortuitous timing. No, Star Search was not on, no chocolate chip cookies. Instead, I am sipping tea and watching the Kennedy Center Honors 2009 with my family. What makes this especially fantastic is that all of us only cared about on of the recipients: Mel Brooks.
I was impressed that 'bad perm fellow' from Glee (Matthew Morrison) sang in Springtime for Hitler. Matthew Broderick did a fantastic tribute to Mel Brooks using "Till him".
My favourite moment was when Mel Brooks pulled out a black comb and did a Hitler salute.
My dad pointed out that Mel Brooks was married to Anne Bancroft. Wow was I surprised to hear that. Seriously. Mel Brooks and Mrs. Robinson. That's pretty hilarious.

My favourite Mel Brooks films are: The Producers, Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein, and High Anxiety (I need to find this one, I remember it parodied Alfred Hitchcock's most famous movies).
