    The Meeting Of The Storytellers

    Back to the Mediterranean as we follow Jacob and his half sister from Crete to Greece and then to the U.S. as we follow John on his plane ride to Greece. By the way, have you ever considered the alternative to growing old? My daughter did just this morning when she dared to talk back to me.;)

    The Meeting Of The Storytellers

    thnx I wasn't sure how the half-sister would be accepted, actually I'm going to make her a minor character. I haven't quite decided on a name for her yet, but basically she's going to lead Jacob to the will reading site and then gracefully bow out. A few of the regular Muppet characters will...

    Bad Baby Names

    Jesus is a rather common name for dogs, also a lot of Hispanic Christians name their sons Jesus, after the Christ, of course (in fact around the time of Christ Jesus was a very popular name).

    Is it me or am I not alone

    It is interesting It is interesting but remember that the 30th anny show was also a tribute to the late Jim Henson. A 50th anny show would be nice but I'm not sure how they can do it without him.

    Changes that you actually liked

    Many changes I have liked and not liked I've been around since SS's beginnings and I can say that I like the addition of many fairy tale characters as regulars on the street. This sort of gives kids a chance to look at the characters differently than just in the books. I also like the fact that...

    Jim

    Jim knew he was going to die Jim knew he was going to die, just like every other human being on earth knows he is going to die, eventually. As for whether or not he knew the time was near. I don't think so, Jim did not claim to be psychic, nor was he suffering from any long-term chronic...
