Beautiful day for Father’s Day. Had our first church service since Covid began, and a bunch of new people showed up. We were outside, everybody had masks and were spaced far enough apart. Sang and played my heart out praising Him. God is good. AND happy first day of summer. It’s only 2:30 in...

I tried to water ski, but it’s hard to find a sloping Lake.🤪

I’ll share this with you. 20 years ago I worked for Toys R Us (You might have heard of them). I worked at one of six regional warehouses. Kinda like Amazon now. On my shift, there were five hundred workers. Five white, five black, f490 Hispanic. The misconception some had was just because I was...

English is a fascinating language. It is spoken in more countries than any other, although more people speak some form of Chinese as their native tongue. English has more rules and exceptions than any other language. Spanish is a second language to me. From very early on, in my native town of...

In the Spanish alphabet, there are only five vowels: A,E,I,O, and U. There is a Y, but not used too often. The “y” sound we use in “yellow” is used in Spanish with “LL” as in “LLAMA “. (pronounced “ya/ma”, not “la/ma”). English alphabet has 26 letters. Spanish has 29. Add CH as in “churro” RR...

Cheers, Mister Puppeteer par excellence 😋🎂😃

This was before most people’s time, but let me tell you about something you missed out on. Some of you probably went to McDonald’s once or twice. The best thing they had were their apple pies. (They made cherry pies once, but nowhere near as good). The pies were deep fried. It looked like a...

It’s been outrageous the protests are allowed, (sure, just try not to burn anything down, m’kay?) but for law-abiding people, like @MWoO, the slightest indiscretion can bring draconian measures. It wasn’t that long ago not wearing a mask could get you arrested. I remember the guy in Philadelphia...

The thing that got me uptight was that originally houses of worship were not considered essential services, but licquor stores and marijuana dispensaries are. Our church is finally opening Father’s Day. If our mayor or governor renegs on their agreement, they’ll have another riot on their hands...

I was about seven when they sang their alphabet song on Sesame Street. Complete with disco balls and the whole deal. I always loved the tag at the very end-“and H—E-P spells HEP! Yeeeeaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!” Get down!!😍 And of course the Pinball Number count. They were all good, but they really...

I lurked for a number of years too. In the beginning, I could tell you about anything from the first ten years of Sesame Street. That was my wheelhouse. Over time, I got more socially involved and took more of a stand on the matters of religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin. A lot of the...

Lions eat meat. Simple truth. So they show lion puppets on the show eating meat. Big revelation. Even your pet cat eats meat. What’s the big mystery? Humans eat meat. See those two front teeth in your mouth? Those are made for ripping flesh. We’re carnivores. That’s nature. That’s how it’s been...

Way back in the 80s it was trendy to get a tan. In high school, you tried to get as much color as possible for the prom. Back then, they were just starting to come out with sunscreens with SPFs higher than 10. But if you really wanted a fast tan, the thing to use was Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil...

Some people’s poor attitudes never change either.

I was born at the tail end of that era, when soda fountains, luncheonettes, and Automats were becoming fading relics. But there is still a place in Manhattan on 23rd Street called Eisenberg’s. Half is a soda fountain (30 people can sit at the counter) the other half is a deli. It looks so much...

One thing I would love to see come back, although I’m a hundred years too late- Once upon a time you went to the drugstore to have a soda. Sit on a stool at the soda fountain, have a Coke made before your eyes, or have an ice cream soda or a sundae. Kinda like how Hooper’s store used to be when...

Our Governor Murphy is finally opening up houses of worship too. Last weekend there was a church not far from me that opened. They got served with a citation. The church fired back with a lawsuit against the governor for infringing on constitutional rights. Meanwhile houses of worship are...

I can understand your being scared. But unless you’re old like me and have a pre-existing condition (diabetes, asthma), chances are good you won’t get it, much less die from it. And as was mentioned before, the more people start going out again, the more we build up herd immunity. The same way...

I think enough people will err on the side of safety. Keep the masks on and social distance whenever possible. Yes, there’s always a risk cases may spike again, but the country can’t afford to stay locked down forever. Close to 40 million unemployed, the government can’t keep cutting checks to...

Governor Cuomo really botched things when he allowed infected patients back into nursing homes. His brother Chris wasn’t much better. He tested positive but wouldn’t stay quarantined, wouldn’t wear a mask, and condemned others for doing EXACTLY what he did.
