Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood
My two-year-old's current Favorite Thing is the PBS television show Daniel Tiger's
Neighborhood, which is a latter-day spinoff of the excellent Mister Roger's
Neighborhood. It's a cartoon about the eponymous Daniel Tiger (who was a puppet on Mister
Roger's Neighborhood) and his family, where various small children/animals learn important lessons about sharing and
whatnot; standard fare for TV aimed at a two-year-olds.
My son has been home sick for the last week or so, so I've watched a lot of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood,
and there are some things that annoy and/or confuse me:

What's on TV (May 1, 2021)

For All Mankind Season Two. This season had a lot of slow moments, and more of Karen than I really wanted but holy

Another day, another dollar
Hello again invisible readers. Just thought I'd relate all of the
terribly interesting things that have been happening lately…
- Chemistry test today. Could have been much worse. Trust me. Quantum
chemistry can get hairy, but it didn't.
- Did some more work on CSS/PROFILE today. Eugh. Can't the various
people who want to know about my finances (IRS, Department of
Education, College Board, Harvey Mudd, Bank of America, etc.) just
get together and only make me go through all of this once instead
of a million times?
- Watched yesterday's House today. 'twas awesome, 'nuff said.
- Also watched yesterday's Stargate SG-1 …
