The photo above is of a character named, Goober Pyle, played by George Lindsey, from TV's "The Andy Griffith Show". I have named my dad, a good, personable, sometimes goofy guy, after this character. He reminds me of my dad, so if you've ever seen the show, you know what I'm talking about. If not, you're missing out, but if you get the channel, TV Land, you should be able to catch it on Saturdays. Now, that photo below, that right there is MY Goober; the very subject of this blog. ;) I love him to death, but he's a Goober. :)
