Can you tell me how to get...
how to get to Sesame Street.
I have come to the conclusion that Sesame Street characters are all based on real people. I am also convinced that I know all of these real people the characters are based upon. I was sitting in a meeting the other day and looked across the table at this guy. He looked oddly familiar and my mind was racing through the Rolodex of people I have met throughout my life...where do I know this guy from? And then it hit me. This guy is Ernie! Admittedly, it was hard to get through the meeting sitting across from Ernie. I started noticing this more and more with various people - how they not only look like the characters, but in certain aspects they act like the characters, too. I personally think I'm a Zoe.
Sesame Street holds a dear place in my heart. As a child, it was the "Sunny Day" song that got me out of bed in the morning. I would high tail it into the kitchen, grab breakfast and park it in front of the television to absorb all the things that a kid needed to know about the world. What I didn't realize at the time is that it was preparing me for the people I would actually meet in adulthood. So, not only is the show educational in nature, it's also a crystal ball into the future. Brilliant!

I think I might be an Ernie as well (and I actually had an Ernie puzzle as well as other Ernie-related toys when I was a kid), because I'm hardly ever serious and I love to have fun...of course, the anal side of me would be Bert, so maybe I am some sort of strange amalgam of the two...
