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.

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 don’t leave a message, I don’t call back. Lately I’ve been getting calls from Bahrain, which is over by Saudi Arabia. What would someone over there want with me?
Anyway, I just ignore them. But it is amazing the number of spammers and hackers out there.

I meant to post this a few days ago, but my 20th Birthday was last Friday, February 28th.
It was a great birthday. Went out to dinner. The food was great, the service was eh, but that’s because it was jam packed.
Anyways, what made me smile the day after, the 29th (and every day this week), was that someone very special wished me a happy birthday on Instagram.

Yep. Bear in the Big Blue House himself, Noel MacNeal!!

I must admit, when I first saw it, I cried. Happy tears of course. I’ve been a HUGE fan of Bear for so many years and the fact that Bear himself wished me a happy birthday just made my day. Also may have confirmed that this has been the best birthday I’ve ever had.

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 on your birthday!
