Scant days after this beautiful and terrible catalogue of repressed memories was brought to my attention, Mr. Rogers hangs up his cardigan for good. Coincidence? I hope so.

My friends were apparently wondering why Dr. Snuggles ain’t get no play at the TVO kid’s show site. I’m pretty sure it was a British thing, so it was probably a PBS import. That was channel 9, TVO was 10.

Not that I needed a web site to remember me of Dr. Snuggles. I didn’t understand at the time that the deep phsycological draw Dr. Snuggles had for me was presumably because the kinked BBC writers and artists were drawing on the rich charm of the drug culture to inspire the show. Probably best I wasn’t aware.

Now it seems there is a movie in the works. I’m not sure if I’m down with that. Especially if it has anything to do with this story idea.
