    Experiences with "I'll Miss You, Mr. Hooper"

    I was around to see this episode firsthand (although I was 15, pretty far past the targeted viewing age, but hey, old habits die hard). The one part that stuck with me all these years was Gordon explaining to Big Bird why people die, "Just because..." Thirty years later, I can't watch this...

    When you need to rant...

    It seems in that football game, the winning coach did everything he could to try to keep the playing field as even as possible- sending in third-stringers, running down the clock, benching his starters, and his team still ran away with it. The losing team still couldn't mount any kind of...

    Just a family update from Julio

    My deepest sympathies. That's such a tragic loss. But I admire what you've learned about forgiving and loving others every chance you get. Keep that in your heart and it will always serve you well. My prayers for your aunt as well.

    When you need to rant...

    I was excited as anyone when Facebook really took off about five years ago. But I used it to reconnect with a few classmates I haven't seen since high school. Now that I accomplished that, I really have no need for it. It's embarrassing enough when adolescents conduct themselves with such...

    DRAMA: Drawing Ridiculous Attention and Making an A** of yourself. Not directed at anyone here, but a crisis brewing on facebook bordering on absurdity.

    Casey Kasem Suffering from Parkinson's Disease

    Great guy- grew up listening to "America's Top Ten" every weekend, especially being excited when he announced back in the spring of 1973, a new record by the Carpenters called "Sing", adding, "And you kids who watch Sesame Street should know this one!" He also did quite a few cartoon...

    What should Disney buy next?

    Back in Season One, he also created the Baker films (especially nice his children got in a few cameo shots). For Season Two, he created his outstanding Number inserts, which gave him an opportunity to work with different media- stop-motion animation, Scanimate (a very early form of computer...

    That's true, Diet Rite (sugar-free version of RC) is almost as nasty as Diet Coke. Maybe if the car companies could invent a hybrid that ran on Diet Coke (close enough to the fossil fuels we're burning now!) we'd really be in business!

    My Childhood Memories: The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

    I was lucky enough (partly because I'm old enough) to have been around when it first aired on ABC Saturday mornings, fall of 1988. Even that seems like a long-lost bygone era. Saturday morning network cartoons got phased out not too long after that (Nineteen-ninety-something? My memory is a...

    Having been a diabetic for 25 years now, and tasted every diet soda under the sun, Diet Coke is VILE. They might as well call it Diet Industrial Waste. Diet Pepsi ain't much better. There are a lot of alternatives in the stores- flavored seltzers, diet iced teas, etc. Water is still the best...

    Job Offer

    Hey, four weeks will go by like THAT. But think of all you'll gain by the end of it. A nice hunk of cash is nice, but knowing that you stepped forward, took a risk, and possibly have more doors open up for you,that experience is priceless. You'll have every reason to look back with pride when...

    My Childhood Memories: The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

    It won twice, in 1989 and 1990, both years for Outstanding Animated Program. Like I said, one of the finest things Disney ever produced. Great writing, beautiful animation, excellent voice work, so much care went into this series. My only complaint- I LOVE Rabbit (my wife loves Eeyore). In...
