::happy gasp:: i had COMPLETELY forgotten about that
until now!  I remember that video, and they had the
mounds and mounds of crayons -- and i remember being
so jealous of the people who worked in that factory,
because as everyone knows, being the first person to
handle a fresh crayon that still has the nice little
point on it is one of the best things in the world.  
That, and the "Peanut Butter" video from Sesame Street
were two of my absolute favorite things.  And I hadn't
thought about them in age.

I'm finding I'm really not as sad about Mr. Roger's
passing as I thought I'd be.  I'm sorry for the loss
of a great soul, but Mr. Rogers lived a long and
incredibly full life, and left an indelible mark all
of us who grew up watching him -- what better legacy
could one hope to leave?  I feel so privilaged to have
grown up watching.

Abbie, who loved childhood
