Every time I hear the words, "Luna Park," I automatically smile and think of my wonderful Dad. When I was a kid (and as most kids did), I would go from one room to another in the house I grew up in, and would leave the lights on and never turn them off! In a little while, I would hear my Dad (in a loud voice) say, "Where do ya think you live? LUNA PARK???" Or if there were a lot of lights on in the house at once, he would say, "There are more lights on in this house than Luna Park!" I wish I could go back and hear him say that now. ;) Anyway, Luna Park opened this past week and here's a link (below) to see what it's all about. Oh... and thanks for listening.

My late mother wrote in my 6th grade autograph book "May your life be as bright as Luna Park at night." We had moved from New York City to New Jersey by then, and I asked her "What's a Luna Park?"
