I just read that Mr. Rogers wished he
hadn’t named the postman Mr. McFeely. He
didn’t realize how many child-unfriendly jokes that would cause. It was his own middle name. How did I come across this important bit of
trivia? By scrolling through
Facebook. This is what happens when it
rains on Saturday!
I was pleased with myself on Saturday morning. I got home quite late from TIFF on Friday night but I set my alarm and forced myself out of bed when it went
off. I looked out the window at the rain,
checked the weather forecast and decided that walking was possible. I have the gear!
When I got to my car, I discovered that one
of the doors had not been fully closed and the internal light had been on for 3
days, draining the battery. By the time
the tow-truck driver arrived with my boost, I’d lost the will to “get out
there.” Instead, I came back in, took a
nap, and have spent far too much time looking at screens.
This story has no moral; it’s just what
happened. See you next week!
