That thing is huge, I thought they were all small. I have one that I lost in my house someplace. The one I have you wouldn't want to use as a towel it is pretty stiff and rough. On a side note that silver statue in front of your church corner (saw it on the bus) is pretty interesting. The tin man waves.........

Hmmm... They play tonight.

That's hilarious. "You the man who made Tellble Tile?"

"However, the towel is often used by fans who do not attend games. Fans often drape the towel over their radios or television sets, some even dress their pets or babies with it."

So, Drew, when will you post your photos of Buckley wearing his terrible towel?

Things you did not know about Mr Rogers

Found via "Decently and Order" a presbyterian user-driven news source.

Interesting Article about the guy.
james - 07/31/08 10:10
I feel kind of stalkerish for know those things now. But I have nothing but love for Fred, so I wont feel bad.
janelle - 07/31/08 07:27
Okay, I have to admit. Reading the article made me smile.
janelle - 07/31/08 07:24
I definitely know more about Fred Rogers than I ever thought I would since being married to you. You're a Presbynerd AND a Fred Rogers groupie!
fellyconnelly - 07/31/08 05:13
yeah.. but the whole daily routine thing could have been borderline...

but all in all sound like he was genuinely a good person. How often do we see this these days? I mean he wore his moms sweaters! on tv!
tinypliny - 07/31/08 00:08
Nopes, never heard of him! Fred Astaire, however is VERY popular back home. I think if Fred Rogers had a dance program, the story might have been different. But I am glad you posted - quite an inspiring man! :)
drew - 07/31/08 00:00
fair enough. Category changed.

And you really had never heard of him?

One more fact: He was a Pittsburgher.
tinypliny - 07/30/08 23:52
I certainly didn't know any of that! In fact, I didn't know Mr. Rogers before you linked him. I think he totally deserves to be in the "Heroes" category! :)

Free movie tonight!
Eight o'clock on the corner of West Ferry and Elmwood. "Lord, Save Us from your followers." The film asks, "why is the Gospel of Love dividing America?"

It's free. Bring a chair.

Thiese are clips from another screening:





and while I was geting that, I came across this (unrelated, but funny):
