I might have to track that down...I've always loved so much of Henson's work. His death at a young 56 was quite a creative loss....
I recently finished Freakonomics (some very interesting stuff) and am now reading Kite Runner...so far a tragic but well-written and fascinating story about boyhood and politics in Afghanistan.

"Oh all the money that e'er I spent, I spent it in good company.
And all the harm that I ever did, Alas it was to none but me.
And since it falls, unto my lot, that I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call, 'Goodnight and Joy be with you all.'"

It's great. I can't put it down. It's a collection of quotes compiled by his daughter, Cheryl

Okay, now "Rainbow Connection" is running through my head....
"Someday I'll find it the Rainbow Connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me."
"Reading departure signs in some big airport reminds me of the places I've been"
It's a young adult fanasy/sci fi book. I read to my kids very night that I am home (read as not on business travel or at JB concerts).......
It is about a group of government gentics experiments trying to get free and have a normal life...

At least you're reading. I gave two programs to Rotary and Kiwanis in the past week and hardly any of them (except the women) were readers! I felt like a stranger in a strange land.

Reading Hiaasen in reverse....somehow, it makes sense!
If you're going to do nothing at least do it at the beach!
I also recently finished reading A Million Little Pieces and thought it was terrific. Loaned it to a good friend who has been in a 12 step program for 20 years and she also loved the book.

I wish there were more books on Jim Henson. There's very few out there.
