Sarge, you’re a sight for sore eyes. I totally agree the scope of this virus is being blown out of proportion. Common sense, washing your hands and keep your house clean is the best you can do. If you have to go out in public, take precautions. But no. Let’s cause a panic and see what happens...

Tom Hanks is now probably the first celebrity to contract it. I’ve seen virus outbreaks before, but this one has been fed by panic and fear like no other.

They’re going to great lengths to keep the virus from spreading. Basketball games will be played, but no audiences allowed. Tom Hanks tested positive. At first I thought people were overreacting and pushing the panic button too fast. About 4,200 people worldwide have died. Only 20 have died...

The Mylar ones aren’t bad, but the latex ones, look out! That Sesame clip of Ernie counting his balloons, and Grover popping them, I always turned the volume down. like I mentioned before, when I was little, I hated loud noises, especially balloon pops. So what did I do? I joined a band!

If you can’t draw, write them a card.They don’t have to open it right there. But it’s something that came from you, and they’d be touched by that. My best friend and I worked on a picture for Caroll Spinney. I drew it, she painted it. I was able to hand it to him when I met him, and he was truly...

One time my check came to $7.50 or so. I gave them a $20. I should get $12.50 back, right? The girl gave me back $16.44. I actually gave her a dollar back, saying. “You gave me too much”. It scares me you got kids who can’t even count money, and the place can stay in business.

I was in Disney World on my honeymoon and they had a Beatle tribute band. My hair was long enough so I could pass for one of them. They actually got me on stage for two songs- Day Tripper and Drive My Car. So for one brief moment I was part of the band playing Lead Tambourine! then we broke up...

I hope you do. Back when Sesame turned 40, the puppeteers made a lot more appearances. There was a lecture at William Patterson University here in New Jersey and on one stage you had Caroll Spinney, Martin Robinson, Fran Brill, Kevin Clash, AND Frank Oz. Unfortunately none stayed after for meet...

For years balloons used to freak me out when they pop. Sounds like a gunshot. We recently had a party for my wife’s 50th birthday with fifty balloons. Now, how do you get rid of balloons without popping them? you take a scissor, and cut through the knot. That lets the air out slowly without the...

It’s one thing to be alone. It’s another to be lonely. Loneliness is far worse. we will all die someday. It doesn’t matter if anyone remembers me. If I gave someone a smile, or made someone feel better, that’s good enough for me. If I had my way, I’d want my wife beside me when I die. Not to...

KFC stands for Kids Fattening Center. I still like KFC, but it used to be a lot better. Popeye’s, their Cajun spices don’t agree with me. But there is a local place near me, they dip their fried chicken in honey, puts KFC to shame.

That’s wonderful. It’s great so many puppeteers are nice people in person. I’ve met a good number of puppeteers over time as well as musicians. Unfortunately, a few musicians in real life turn out to be real dirtbags. Puppeteers have a higher... Niceness ratio, for lack of a better term. Cheers...

Even better than water, try Pedialyte. Or Gatorade Zero. It replenishes the electrolytes you need with no sugar.

It seemed to be more common in my younger days. By the time you were in college, you were aching to have your own place. Even if you had five roommates living in a run-down dump, it was YOUR run down dump, but it was your palace. My first crib, I lived with my sister. I was at college full time...

One time on the Interstate there was road construction going on. They narrowed three lanes down to one. Took the better part of an hour to move a mile. When we finally got up to the construction site, the crew was just standing around. There were more middle fingers pointed at them than I can...

There are still railroad tracks in my town even though no trains have run on them since the 70s. Wanna know something stupid? There was some movie that came out in the 80s about some college kids pledging a fraternity. They’d lie down on the tracks while a train was coming. The idea was to pull...

I recently got my phone upgraded. One new feature they added, which surprised me, if an unknown number comes up it says “Potential Spam”. as a rule, I have the number of everybody from my church, family, friends, doctors, etc. programmed in my phone. If someone calls I don’t recognize, and they...

Way to go. I was baptized as a baby also (this was big in the Catholic Church. For centuries, you wanted to get baptized as a baby, so if you died, you didn’t end up in Limbo) but I was baptized last year.

The corona virus has not reached epidemic proportions. Yet. Yes, it’s affecting elderly and people with pre-existing conditions. But it’s not exactly the Black Plague. The best you can do is keep washing your hands.

May a thousand eyes shine upon you!
