Lift with your knees, not your back.
Month: July 2021
Before my fellow Canadians get all huffy about an inanimate object associated with the National Religion, I’ll remind them that it’s been accidentally left at the side of the road, chucked off a roof into a swimming pool (and it missed) and used as a stripper pole, dog dish, and baby toilet.
It will buff right out.
Even though the Glazer Children’s Museum isn’t open on Sunday morning (it opens at noon), I was there with Anitra this morning to record a video where we read Maurice Sendak’s children’s classic, Where the Wild Things Are…
…to this young gentleman: Daniel Tiger…
star of Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, which is based on the Neighborhood of Make-Believe from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.
Anitra’s on the Museum’s board, which is how we got the opportunity to sit with Daniel and read a book to him. The video of us reading Where the Wild Things Are will eventually end up under “Storytime with Daniel Tiger” in the GCM @ Home section of the Glazer Children’s Museum site. Here’s an example of one of these storytimes:
I’ll let you know when our video gets posted!
Florida Fan
The Tampa Bay Lightning are a Florida Team, and as such, they have Florida Fans. I knew I could count on them to uphold the Sunshine State’s reputation for its locals making questionable choices, and the fan with the “Show me that butthole” cap didn’t let me down.
Better still, not only did he impress me with his choice of cap, but also the decision to leave the sticker on the brim — that’s the biggest power move since leaving the tag on your suit jacket sleeve!
Every time I write a post like this, someone (actually, it’s usually half a dozen or so someones) ends up asking me where they can get one. REPCPS.com is your go-to for the “Show me that butthole” cap (which is sold out at the time of writing):
They also sell this wonderful slogan in koozie form.
Some fans were a little more subtle in their butt appreciation, such as the gentleman below, resplendent in his “Butt snorkeler” cap:
Again, before you ask: It’s available at ButtSnorkeler.com. That’s right, that’s an actual domain name and full-on e-commerce business:
Congrats to the Tampa Bay Lightning on their second Stanley Cup win in a row!
Between making it to the World Series, winning the Super Bowl and back-to-back Stanley Cup victories, our teams have earned the area the title of “Champa Bay”.
I’ll close this post with my favorite meme from the playoffs. Congrats to Andrei Vasilevskiy on winning the Conn Smythe Trophy!
