For some it’s tearing open wrapping paper on Christmas morning. Others, it might be downing turkey with friends and family or hunting for some eggs on Easter Sunday. For others, it might be dressing up in costumes on Halloween, or knocking back a few pints with friends on St. Patrick’s Day. But for me, theContinue reading “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year”

Fifty Years of Sunny Days
Can you tell me how to get…how to get to Sesame Street? I think you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone in this world who can’t tell you where on dial (okay, even if there are no dials anymore) to find that famous neighborhood where sunny days sweep the clouds away.

There’s never been a better time to be a PBS Kid (or Parent!)
Did you watch PBS when you were a kid? I did. I certainly can’t remember all of my viewing habits, but I can tell you unequivocally how comfortable, safe, and accepting it felt even as a toddler to be joined by furry friends on Sesame Street every afternoon.

Happy Birthday, Mr Rogers
Today, Mr Fred Rogers would have been 87 years old. While the gentle “Won’t you be my neighbor?” has, over the years, sometimes turned into a bit of a sarcastic punchline in pop culture, Mr Rogers himself, and the lessons and values that he presented, left a lasting impact on my life, as no doubtContinue reading “Happy Birthday, Mr Rogers”
Wordless Wednesday: Recasting Gotham’s top-cop
(almost) Wordless Wednesday – Leela loses it
Okay, so this is not so wordless this time. It requires backstory. We were watching Sesame Street on Netflix recently and had to pause it for bath time. I suddenly noticed the odd moment at which we happened to pause, and started laughing at the moment it paused. My theory – Leela finally got sickContinue reading “(almost) Wordless Wednesday – Leela loses it”
