David: It's Not Easy

“I know it’s silly,” he told her, wiping away a tear. “I can’t help it.”

“I know.”

“It was over a decade ago. And it’s not like I knew the man personally.”

She patted his hand.

“I suppose it says more about me than him. Like, part of my childhood died with him. How greedy is that? ‘I’m sad you’re dead because I can’t get what I want from you anymore.’”

“It’s perfectly natural,” she assured him.

“It was so senseless and sudden, so not the way he was supposed to go.”

She squeezed him. “I miss Jim Henson too.”

I'm sure Kermit and Ernie kinda miss having a hand up their backsides now and then.

I still get all pissed off whenever I walk past the Christian Scientist church in Pasadena.

It's time to start the music.
It's time to light the lights.
It's time to get things started....
