I just thought of the worst super hero duo.

Super Grover and Rod Rescueman from Twice Upon a Time.

Just thinking about how one day in the near future, the older Muppeteers (Dave, Carroll, Frank, etc.) will eventually pass away.

A very depressing though I know, it just had me thinking....

Yeah, I think about that sometimes :frown:. I'll be the first to admit that sometimes i'll Google Caroll just to make sure he's still with us :embarrassed:.

But, end of the day, death is just a fact of life we all have to deal with.

Like I said, given Caroll's age (and now his health as well), I never thought I'd have an opportunity to ever meet him, and then when I saw he was going to be in town back in October, I knew if I didn't take advantage of the opportunity, I may never have it again, so I did. No, he wasn't in the best of shape, his voice was weak, he had difficulty signing my book, and he was wearing sunglasses most of the time . . . but it was still a great honor and privilege to meet one of my puppeteering heroes, and I made sure I let him know that.

It is sad, but hey, circle of life. Even one day our times will come....

Now that Kevin Hart has a new show called TKO, which is what our old MC sitcom was called, it got me to realize how I'm actually only still in regular/frequent contact with only one fellow castmember, and that would be Beauregard; MrsPepper's married now, so I don't hear from her as often as I used to, and everyone else has either dropped off the face of the earth entirely, or severed contact with me. :frown:

Also makes me think about how the series evidently hasn't aged well that absolutely nobody cared about the 10th anniversary a few years ago. :smirk:
