Happy Birthday Cheeta!

I couldn't believe it when I heard that Cheeta is alive and well and is the oldest chimp ever! I grew up watching Tarzan, which was staple viewing on Sunday mornings in NYC. Moms would cook a full blown breakfast and I would spend the entire morning in the lotus postion in front of the tube watching the canon of popular American films. Tarzan, Abbott and Costello, Vincent Price/Edgar Allen Poe, Hope and Crosby road flicks...pure magic! To this day I sign any cards I give to my folks as "Boy"
