Donkees - find that link

All I have is this at 38:00 (after Rosario, who came after Cenk)

And there ya go - Dick Van Dyke is 90 saying he is campaigning for that young guy Bernie Sanders
Love that with all the "Bernie is too old" posts.



I have been a fan of Dick Van Dyke forever and ever, this just thrills me.

1. The first time my parents took me to a cinema was in 1964, when I was 4, to see Mary Poppins.

I've been Dick Van Dyke fan ever since. Wow, 52 years ago.

2. I had a kind of traumatic episode with a Mary Poppins lunch box

at around that time. Let's just say that in those days, Mary Poppins lunch boxes weren't considered to be "boys'" lunch boxes.

3. Oooooo - I'm sorry that happened to you.

7. Thanks

I'd actually wanted a Lost In Space lunch box (anything with a space theme was "OK" for boys), or even Wild, Wild West, so I don't know how I ended up with Mary Poppins. Maybe it was on sale or something. Anyway, I ended up not having any lunch on that day.

5. I am a caregiver and the person I care for is a special needs woman. She has to watch

Mary Poppins every nite at bedtime.

Lol. It's funny, I find myself sitting there watching it with her for a few minutes every nite.
It really is a great movie.

8. Around that time, he also had his own TV show

11. It was the first film I ever saw too

Though it was on re-release, as I hadn't been born in 1964. I was a little too young to sit through such a long film, I think I was around 4 or 5, so this must have been around 1972. Maybe '71, as I think Disney was re-releasing films at 7-year intervals at the time.

9. Great to see Dick Van Dyke

I'm glad he's with us.

10. Wow, he dashes up to the stage!

Impressive!

13. I love him.

Since we were little, my sisters and I always thought he looked like our dad. My dad would have been 91 this year. He also would have been a Sanders supporter.

14. Lots of fun evenings watching The Dick Van Dyke show.

My kids used to say that Mary Tyler Moore reminded them of me. Guess they thought I was flakey, but funny??

15. I enjoyed it when it was LIVE stream :)
