Happy Birthday Jim Henson

Today would have been Jim's 72nd birthday. I plan to watch various Muppet programs and a documentary I have on the Muppets in his honor today. I bet he would be amazed at the number of lives he still touches today. I know he was amazed by it back in the day.

There is a lot I could write about this topic but I have done so over the years.

So I ask you the reader of this web log, what is your favorite or most memorable Muppet Moment?

Yesterday was Peter's Birthday. We went for his traditional birthday breakfast. I had cleaned up his office for his birthday present. The girls gave him a deluxe copy of the Iron Man movie. Then we went to the Mets and Cubs game, ate in the Diamond Club, and watched the Mets win one. The Mets win put his birthday in a good birthday category.

Caroline, having been told that her birthday is after Daddy's, asked when it was going to be her turn to have a birthday. We explained that both Halloween and Thanksgiving were happening before her birthday arrived. She sighed heavily and said that's a long time.

I need to get my glasses fixed after they got mysteriously very bent. No one claims to know what happened but I am hoping that they are fixable.

It is a lovely day today. I think I may go out and get some more yard work done. I am giving serious thought to renting a chainsaw to get a bush back to size and get rid of a tree that should not be growing so close to the house. Actually, I would be perfectly happy to just get rid of both.

I am grateful that the Mets won on Peter's Birthday.

I was thinking about this being Jim's birthday myself...
The world is certainly a poorer place without him, but I celebrate this day because had he never been born so many wonderful things and characters would not be here either. I am grateful he was here on this earth even for the short time he was becaus ehe added joy and laughter to so many lives, mine included.

I also meant to post a happy birthday to Peter yesterday but never did, tell him I send belated happy birthday wishes and my gift was letting him have the mets win (because it breaks my heart when my cubbies lose you know!)

Thank you for letting the Mets win. We appreciate it.
