For those of us who grew up on Sesame Street.

Please hit the link for a great song by one of my favorite singers… who we will soon, unfortunately lose. There is a bit of peace and a removal of all my adult worries when I hear that song, even if for just a moment.

I hit planet earth just a bit before Bert and Ernie, Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus. Just. And while my street didn’t look anything like Sesame Street, I was welcome there.

There in the midst of the Vietnam War lived this street where good things and some scary things happened, but at the end of the hour it was all alright. There was a world where little boys and girls lived safe lives, no one got hurt, no one was afraid, and no one ever cried alone. One day I grew up and left Sesame Street, thinking I was too old, too mature. Never would I have considered just how much I miss that quiet little community just waiting for me there on Channel 11.

Thank you Jim Henson.

Hugs all. Randy

  1. You know, I was already “too old” for Sesame Street when I discovered it while sitting for my toddler nephew. I don’t think we’re ever too old for Sesame Street, for so many reasons. It teaches both to find the helpers, and also how to be one of the helpers, IMO. Thanks, Randy-what a nice thing to read this evening!

  3. Hi Randy. Great post. I was not allowed to watch shows such as that. Bad stuff for boys. They should be outside running and playing sports. Maybe working and doing something manly and useful. Hugs. Scottie
