  1. I'm trying to adopt an inside shoes/outside shoes policy. I have a hard time remembering to switch footwear at the threshold, so I've been signing the Mister Roger's Neighborhood theme song every time I leave or return to the house. That cat knew what was what.

    Another obstacle to success is the fact that we have multiple entry points into the home, which we use more or less often, but not never. So, if I want to leave the house by an alternate route, I have to go to front door to fetch my outside shoes and carry them to my portal of choice. But, if I'm already at the front door, why not just exit there? Plus, if I do haul the shoes to another exit, I have to remember to come back in that way or I'll be traipsing through the house in my stockings trying to find my inside shoes.

    All of this drama is compounded by the fact that we have pets; messy, messy pets. So, what's the point really?

    Any tips or encouragements are appreciated.

  2. Been watching #MisterRogersNeighborhood since the 1960s, and while watching with my grandson #TIL Ben Franklin was a #vegetarian

    It's amazing seeing how those "low-tech" human production values still outshine wiz bang modern stuff that fills so much of today's media.

  7. Typewriter 101 on Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood

    If you're working at getting the little ones started into typewriters (or just starting out yourself), Mr. Rogers covers some of the basics in episode 1083 of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood from February 25, 1970.  You can see Mister Rogers demonstrate the use of what appears to be a Royal Futura 800 in the full episode here: https://misterrogers.org/episodes/typewriters/ "I was very much interested in letters." —Fred Rogers While he used a Futura in the show, his personal typewriters […]

  8. Apparently it's Fred Rogers' birthday, and this is a good lesson to remind ourselves.

    "I’m not very good at it, but it doesn’t matter. It feels good to have made something."

    EDIT: Oops, missed it by a day, sorry! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Rog

  12. Yes, There’s a Scene During the “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” End Credits

    Among the many deficiencies in my childhood, I regret Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was not required viewing in our house. In the days before VCRs, DVR, and the Internet, our family's TV schedule was strictly divided between myself, my mom, and my grandma. I was allowed to pick stations each weekday morning before 9 a.m., after school, and on Saturday mornings. Sadly, the kindly Fred Rogers had the misfortune of airing opposite Grandma's soap operas and/or game shows. By the time I discovered him while channel-flipping, I was somewhere in my preteen phase -- too old to respond to his low-key gentility, not quite old enough to watch him ironically, and nowhere near the kind of adult who could appreciate what he did or how he connected to millions of other, better-off kids. My wife Anne, on the other hand, used to watch him all the time. As a youngling she watched him, Sesame Street, and other PBS all-stars all the time. He spoke directly to kids, the Viewers at Home. He wasn't there to bedazzle them with whimsy or lull them with escapist conflicts or sell them toys. He taught, he explained, he knew, he felt, he sympathized, he loved. For some kids he seemed like the only adult who every really got them, who even tried to get them. He fell just short of absolute godhood, but to many, calling him "father figure" doesn't begin to describe his impact on their lives. Won't You Be My Neighbor?, then, is a rare instance of Anne taking me with her to the movies for once. […]
