Apple TV has the rights to all the Charlie Brown holiday specials that we grew up watching. The last couple years they let the local PBS stations air them. This year they will not.
This year they won’t be sharing Snoopy with the public. I went into panic mode. I went to Amazon… out of stock. Called Disc Replay…. Out of stock.
George saw that I was upset about something. I told him the dilemma that his father won’t be able to watch his favorite Charlie Brown cartoons. A holiday tradition going back to the Nixon Era.
Minutes later George walks out of Weird Science Room and produces a VHS/DVD player.
“Dad? May I hook this unit to your television?”
I hesitated for a second, but caved in….
“Also, Dad? I pirated a copy of ‘Charlie Brown, Great Pumpkin’ from a Korean Something or another maybe thru a China streaming site, but it’s quality! Do you want me to burn it onto a VHS tape or a DVD?”
I’m currently waiting for the FBI to arrest me for harboring a Korean spy working for communist china.
Luckily, I read Apple is letting non members watch all the holiday specials if you download their app.
I’m not sure who to trust, Apple or George’s black web connection?
Anyway, for those of you looking for Charlie Brown this weekend or Thanksgiving and Christmas. Download the Apple app or text George Shepley. I would never let our generation miss Linus and Lucy!
It’s National Oatmeal Day! My mommy made me oatmeal on the first day of school every year from Kindergarten at Saint Ita’s to Senior year at Dear Old Cathedral. Third grade I dipped my clip-on tie into my breakfast bowl. When I sat down at my desk Sister Mary Frances bird dogged my crusty tie from her perch.
I thought the penguin was going to kill me. She reached into her desk and gave me a clean one. Nuns really did nurture us in the spirit of the top mom, Mary.
It’s going to be a beautiful last Saturday of October… make sure to call someone today that thinks you are special. It will definitely make you feel Mo Betta’!
