It's Howdy Doody time, it's Howdy Doody time. That guy died the other day. Whatever his name is.
My face is falling into the computer keyboard. I am just about worn out. I gotta get through Friday. Have a good, if not great, Friday. I can hardly believe that BF doesn't have to go to visit his son or watch him play football this weekend. We are actually both in town this weekend.

Dear Cynthia,
Buffalo Bob Smith died in 1998. Bob Keeshan, who played Clarabelle on the Doody show (and was TV's "Captain Kangaroo") died in January of this year. Princess Summerfallwinterspring, the Flub a Dub, Mr. Bluster, and Dilly Dally (as well as the titular Howdy Doody) were wooden puppets. I don't know of anyone else associated with the show. (A fellow named Lew Anderson played Clarabelle in the final episodes but I'm not familiar with him.)
For the life of me, I don't know who "that guy who died" the other day is myself. I loved the Doody show, and remember watching it as a child.
