Seven years ago, we lost one of my favorite people, Chuck McCann. He had a huge resume, but I loved him best for creating and starring in Far Out Space Nuts.

I was about 19 when this newspaper article came out. I bet most puppeteers have pictures of younger versions of themselves posing with puppets that are not of the highest quality. We all have to start somewhere.

I was fixing a bubble prop and I just realized what I was using to fix it. I'm going to defuse a bomb next.

I just found this picture from 25-30 years ago; it was on a wall at the Chuck E. Cheese corporate office for several years.

Grandpa time is the best.

Happy World Puppetry Day!

I support transgender mice.

I taught a bunch of kids science at the mall.

I found this while I was looking for something else. I did this over a decade ago. I was Jasper the dog. youtu.be/KeEGeoV1M6c?...

Well ALRIGHT!

All she has to do is smile at me and I say, "You can have anything you want. Do you want a pony, or a college fund? Whatever you want, you can have it."

She's five months old, so she has time to improve her interests.

My granddaughter was only interested in one of these. I'll let you guess which one. Here's a hint. It's not a toy.

I'm working on a new show. I tell kids that I go back in time and collect extinct animals to put them in a zoo. A dodo bird keeps freeing the animals so I have to catch them.

This is how I'm spending my day.

We had snow in Texas. It will be gone by tomorrow.

I think she had a pretty good first Christmas.

The night of krampus.

Tonight, between December 5th and 6th, is the Krampusnacht, meaning the night when the krampus descend from the mountains to wander the streets ringing horns, bells and drums and brandishing the whip against fearless passersby.

I just found this picture recently. I thought I had lost it.

I had a fun audience at the Irving library.
