After years of waiting, They Might Be Giants has finally released the follow-up to our beloved Here Come the ABCs - Here Come the 1,2,3s. Oh joy! The discs arrived in the mail to Jeremiah's office yesterday. He instant messaged me with the happy news. When I got the girls home and fed I coaxed Kate into watching Here Come the ABCs in preparation for the new DVD that would be arriving home shortly.It had been awhile since our last viewing of Here Come the ABCs and Kate was sucked right into it. I could see her thinking "I missed you!" When Jeremiah arrived home we did a big build-up the new one, but I had erred, I'm afraid. She was so thrilled to be reunited with an old friend that she objected wildly to turning it off to view the new stuff.
Steve & Joy arrived as we were trying to convince Kate we should all watch the new DVD. When Kate refused to relent, it was agreed among the adults that we would just have to wait until the kids went to bed to watch our new children's DVD. We never got that far, though, because a discussion about proper project management and the right way to fold laundry ensued and we forgot. I'm hoping that when I get home this afternoon, I'll get to check out the new cartoons. I could use a refresher on my 1, 2, 3s. Plus, I need to know all the new songs for when we go see TMBG at Variety Playhouse (one of my favorite venues) for their special kids' show on March 15th.

I know exactly how Kate feels. I wasn't much older than she when I obtained The Who's "Who's Next" LP. I loved side one so much, I went weeks without turning the record over to hear side two (you had to turn records over then). Just tell her that she must watch the new DVD, lest she miss the equivalent of Won't Get Fooled Again.
I concur with Keith, though my example would be The Camera Eye on side two of Rush's "Moving Pictures" LP. Remember, if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
Remember, nobody knows what it's like to be the bad man, to be the sad man, behind blue eyes.
Remember, hold steady while I piss on the wall.
Quoting side 2 of Freeze Frame?! You win.
