Ah, one of those days. :sympathy: I imagine that coming around here to chat about Richard and/or the Muppets is really good therapy for that. I guess that's why we like the Muppets: they're really crazy and funny, so they're some of the few things in the world that actually make any sense...

Well, what else was I supposed to call him? At least he's got a really famous right arm... You're really welcome, Carrie, and here's hoping you're back up to speed. Was it a cold or something?

(knock on door) MN: Hey, Cath, you still in there? Nora: Yeah, we've got presents! Storyteller: For you, we've got: one green and magenta reading pillow, one tin of water lily tea and one fountain pen set. MN: For Miss Piggy, we've got one copy of "Chicken Soup for the Superstar Diva's...

Very true...Richard was that rarest of people, the celebrity who put others ahead of himself. And he was the kind of guy who wouldn't let a little thing like a terminal illness stop him from doing that. Any tunes on the JT discs worth mentioning...well, one of the CDs I brought home was the...

"Walking Man," by James Taylor. I've got the "Best Of" album playing on the deck here in the kitchen. Before that, it was a double shot of Dire Straits.

Last night, I had "That Lonesome Road" by James Taylor stuck in my head for I don't know how long. Guess it's because of the connection to Richard. Now, I think I've got "Where Do You Think You're Going" by Dire Straits stuck there instead.

Storyteller: How are those cookies coming? Nora: They'll be out of the oven in a bit. (checks cookies) So what'd you guys get for Ruahnna and Miss Piggy? MN: For Ru, I got a nice green and magenta reading pillow. For the pig, I got a new makeup mirror. Storyteller: Storyteller: I got Ru a tin of...

Keeping up his work with the Muppets, giving a going-away party to console everyone, and putting on a brave face while he was undergoing treatment...just Richard's way of giving the virus a good solid "Your face!"

Yeah, I'm not exactly what you'd call a huge James Taylor fan, either (I'm more of a power/prog-rock sort of girl), but I do like some of his tunes. One time, as I was walking back to my dorm from art class, I found myself humming "Fire and Rain." In the article you posted for us, heralde...

Very true. I did enjoy listening to the song, perhaps because of its way of tugging at the heartstrings. But I think I'm going to visualize Richard doing the song whenever I hear it from now on. Of the songs on the album, "That Lonesome Road" is probably my favorite. And I think I can credit...

Me too. And when I heard it for the first time, I envisioned Richard and his family up on a small stage in front of everyone, and Richard doing his solo, but with a far-off look in his eyes...and I'm going to bet that there were a lot of misty eyes in the room right then. Oh, dear, that song's...

Storyteller: One of Richard's characters, hmmm? We'll definitely have to do something good. MN: Too true.

Had an excellent time, Skye. Went to the museum, went to Mass at St. Patrick's, saw a performance of "Spamalot" and nearly died laughing, did some running around Times Square...pretty much in that order, all on the same day. From what Amanda's told us, it looks like Richard was a James Taylor...

(hoists glass of orange juice) Here's to you, Kiki. Or Katie. Two names for a really great MC forum friend.

Hi, everyone, I'm back. Didn't see Richard's ghost at the museum. Sorry. I agree, Will. When I watched Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island for the first time, I just couldn't help but feel that there was really something missing, but I really couldn't put my finger on it. Didn't...

Nora: Oh, Peter sent over a magical pen and notebook...that's really nice of them... (Storyteller enters) Storyteller: (singing) Come gather round, ye Fraggle clan, and hear the tale I tell...(stops) And what are you mooning about, Nora, dear? Nora: What? Oh, nothing. (hides package under sofa)...

Hmm. The prof said it was a crocodile...and this is a guy who is a fanatic about Egyptian history. Oh, well, I guess the specifics vary from text to text.

Nora: Wait a minute, Erin, aren't you going to be out of town on Saturday? MN: Yeah, I'm going to be in New York over the weekend. Storyteller: Dear me, dear me...I think we might have to come up with an alternate date...but I think we'll be able to have an excellent fete once our journalist in...

Oh, good grief...we appear to have forgotten all about it. How embarrassing.:concern: Yes, if a heart on the scales of Osiris is heavier than the feather, the hapless deceased is devoured by crocodiles and other unsavory creatures. I had to do a whole essay on Egyptian funerary beliefs and...

MN: Wait a minute...Storyteller, your birthday just took place and we missed it? Storyteller: Let me check...oh, goodness, yes, it was my birthday. Nora: Oh, man, oh, man, we of all people should have known...I'm sorry, I've been so busy helping Mrs. Farley...we'll be the laughing stock of the...
