the three musketeers

when i was young, very young, my brothers and i, especially me and my older brother patrick. often went to the kid's matinee at the tcu theater here in fort worth.  i particularly remember seeing "the three musketeers" and coming out into the bright sunlight imagining myself as a knight in arms, swashbuckling, perhaps with a stick, half blind with the searing sun.  i think perhaps my favorite candy bar at the time was a "three musketeers" which i  think perhaps it still is today.  also about that time the mickey mouse club became popular with it's cast of "mousketeers".  today when i read evening or morning prayer on-line i access it through a portal on my phone called "legereme" which in my mind morphs into lay gereme or lake aramie and then aramis which was the name of one of the three musketeers.  i had to look that one up on google.  i don't know what version of the movie we may have seen in the mid-1950's, but i know there have been several since then, and i may have seen some of them.  i think i will look for one on youtube. it is a perpetual romance.  like fighting battles in the alley behind the house with wooden swords and a trash can lid for a shield.  it was a simpler, more innocent time.  i miss those days, but they are gone.
