Today, K and I made a trip to the library. We picked up "Old School" Sesame Street ('74-'79). Mama and I were watching it with her through the credits. We saw a lot of things we don't get on today's Sesame Street (there was a Guy Smiley sighting!). It was nice to see some old friends, especially Mr. Hooper. He passed when we were K's age. Try explaining this "new" character to a two year old without explaining that he died, and it was a vaguely sad thing from your childhood. I think I settled on saying he got to old too run his store, and had to hire Alan and Chris (two current characters) to work there, because he had to retire.

I digress...the point of posting...the biggest blast from the past was this:
After hearing it, the two of us looked at each other, nodded, and just said "OH YEAH." It's amazing how hearing something can spark a memory...
By the way, the people on the show were SO young...and boy could they sing. Gordon also looked like a power forward.
