Hello! I am finally getting back into blogging on a Monday. Hopefully. This is a start.
I was having a Billy Joel day today, and got a surprise when I learned that in amongst all the music I downloaded when I was still at uni, I actually do have a copy of my favourite Billy Joel song. I actually learned this one in choir many years ago, and it is beautiful sung by female voices in harmony. But the original version is also gorgeous. Billy Joel wrote it in response to his daughter (aged 7 at the time) asking him about where people go when they die.
And now for a more amusing bedtime scene. The Count is my favourite. Sorry it’s in two parts, but this was the best version.
Sucks to be Ernie right now.

I’m off now, but I’ll see you all later!

Wait, wouldn’t The Count have to sleep in a coffin of dirt from his homeland?

Bahahaha! Sweet song by Billy Joel, but the Sesame Street wins. 🙂 I remember that episode from when I was little. 🙂 My kids watched it twice. The older ones watched Sesame Street for a while, but it just wasn’t as good when they came along. (They were running spoofs on really inappropriate shows at the time, like Desperate Housewives = Desperate Houseplants. I think it was an advertisement thing. Advertise Mom’s commercial-packed shows while the kids watch their commercial-free shows. Fneh.) The littler ones haven’t seen much of Sesame Street at all. SO this was a treat for everyone. 🙂

I’m fairly sure I remember seeing this one as a kid, too. From the bits and pieces I’ve seen of more recent episodes, it doesn’t seem as good as when I was that age, which is a shame, because it was such a staple of kids TV for so long.

It still is in the U.S., it’s just not as popular as it was for so long.

The time flies, doesn’t it? How old is she now? 9 months or so?

Yes, she’s a little over 9 months. In some ways it seems like we brought her home just a couple weeks ago and in other it feels like a few years. I guess it will always feel that way.
