One more reason to love Feist and Norah Jones!

Never knew that two of my favorite female vocalists each did a music video with Sesame Street, before!

Translated into Louise-speak this means that Peter Varvel's and Prince Gomolvilas's affection for The Muppets is actually beginning to grow on me, too.

I'm a late bloomer. I grew up pretty much post-Sesame Street, and my kids wouldn't move past Nick Jr. on the remote, so I really am still a novice Muppets fan.

However, when I see clips like these two, and of course the famed REM video, I am reminded how cool the Sesame Street folks are.

Fiest and the Muppets


Norah Jones and Elmo



How did I raise two kids and not know about these clips till now?

Now, if the Muppets could line up Nellie McKay and Aimee Mann to work with, that'd really tickle my Elmo.

I tried to get my wife to tickle my Elmo last night, but got shot down.

Try to catch episodes of 'The Muppet Show,' too. Once I grew up, I realized that they are really aiming their humor at adults - not kids.
And this is why I always wanted to become famous - so that I could do a guest spot with a Muppet.
Mike, I have it on good authority that Prince is willing to tickle your Elmo.

A little boy died in front of our home this morning.

A little boy died in front of our home this morning. We were home and heard nothing. He was hit by a SUV on his way to school. The police were talking and I heard one tell the other, "So, I heard the driver say, 'he just came out of nowhere.'  Both cops shook their heads. The driver, a woman about 40-50, was sitting in a folding chair about 50 feet away from me surrounded by people who talked with her sympathetically.   When the cops lifted her vehicle off the crushed remains of the bike, now a twisted, metal pancake, she finally stopped talking and stood up.  She turned and looked in the other direction.  There was an unmistakable awkwardness in the group gathered. I couldn't hear what was being said, but it was clear this was a sign to keep moving. She somehow missed seeing him even though she had a both a stop sign and then a wide road to cross before striking him on our street in front of our house. It was almost noiseless to those of us home. He had
