That’s when i made up my mind to keep one foot in the Ideal Plane and the other in the real world.
—Father Mulcahy M*A*S*H “Heroes”
I had to be around 8 or 9 years old when I first heard that bit of dialogue on M*A*S*H. Needless to say, yet I will anyway, that slice of pop cultured sentiment stuck in my brain.
A little bit of super-simplified Platonic knowledge imparted by William Christopher‘s wonderfully understated delivery in 1982 and still remembered by me in 2006.
Well, sorta remembered by me. It took a recent Hallmark viewing to jog that rusty brain-cage of mine.
