Yesterday was the anniversary of Fred Roger’s death. I think it safe to say that most people who have children are familiar with him and his “neighborhood.” Somehow he was a weird mix of creepiness and endearment, but my kids loved his show when they were little.
It is so funny walking Buddy around our Chicago neighborhood. Everyone knows Buddy. He makes the rounds of doormen who have a “treat” for him and as we walk by people from our apartment building, so often people will exclaim “Buddy!”
He is so earnest and hopeful, tail wagging, as he catches the eyes of people passing by. He is a little people magnet.
I watch him work his “magic” on people as they stop to scratch his chin, and before you know it, he has another neighborhood friend.
If he could sing, he would sing the theme song to Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood:
“It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
It’s a neighborly day in this beautywood,
A neighborly day for a beauty,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,
I’ve always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.
So let’s make the most of this beautiful day,
Since we’re together, we might as well say,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won’t you be my neighbor?
Won’t you please,
Won’t you please,
Please won’t you be my neighbor?”
Thanks designed for sharing such a good opinion, paragraph is fastidious, thats
why i have read it entirely

Hello would you mind letting me know which web host you’re

This site is a WordPress site.
My partner and I stumbled over here from a different
web page and thought I should check things out.
I like what I see so now i’m following you. Look forward
to going over your web page again.

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and
now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks
a lot!
Oh no! I don’t know how to do that. This is a WordPress site – so maybe if you go into WordPress you can “uncheck” the notification set up.
Hurrah, that’s what I was searching for, what a material!
existing here at this blog, thanks admin of this website.
Hi there everybody, here every person is sharing such know-how,

This piece of writing presents clear idea designed for the new users of blogging, that genuinely how
to do running a blog.
Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this site.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appearance.
I must say you’ve done a great job with this.
In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Safari.
Exceptional Blog!

out. I like what I see so now i’m following you.

Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic however , I’d figured I’d
ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa?
My site goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you are interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward
to hearing from you! Fantastic blog by the way!
I always spent my half an hour to read this weblog’s posts all
the time along with a cup of coffee.
Hello there I am so grateful I found your blog page, I really found you by accident, while I was
browsing on Digg for something else, Nonetheless I am here now and
would just like to say cheers for a remarkable post and a all round thrilling blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to browse it all at the moment
but I have bookmarked it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a great deal more,
Please do keep up the awesome job.
Thanks so much for the encouragem!
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
though you relied on the video to make your
point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why waste
your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could
be giving us something informative to read?
Hi there, You’ve done a great job. I’ll definitely digg it
and personally suggest to my friends. I am confident they’ll be benefited from this
site.
I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your weblog.
Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A number of
my blog audience have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great
in Safari. Do you have any recommendations to help fix this
problem?
Sorry-can’t help you with that.
