79th birthday.
Happy Birthday Soupy!
Oddly enough, although I like his work, I'm too young to have ever seen
his children's show live, and his asking kids to send him little
green pieces of paper from their parents' wallets was several years
before my time.
And for some odd reason, I find this joke he never

A “firetruck.”
Wow!
I won!
Okay, it wasn't the iPod, but either a $20 iTunes gift card or a $20 Amazon gift card, my

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
