Retro Rebound…

I was at the supermarket the other day and ran across a Lámpara Movimiento. You remember, the lava lamp? It was only 15 dollars, so I easily talked myself into taking it home with me.

OMG! This lamp is fantastic. I am totally mesmerized by the constant rising and falling of those green globules in the blue liquid. I don’t think I could be much more excited than the way Fred Armisen and John Malkovich were over the calculator they got for Xmas on SNL.

Could it be I’m coming down with a case of Retrophilia? One idea supports this diagnosis when I bought a tie-dye tee shirt last summer. Now I wear it all the time with my PJ’s at bedtime. And my wife Debby knew I had a problem when I gave her some tie-dye socks for her birthday. It took a really nice dinner at the Palace Café to make up for that mistake.

So how do lava lamps have anything to do with hot dogs? I Dunno... they both just make me very happy. Click this link to see more art and illustration of Doug Fraser.
