Fameishness

Eons and eons and eons ago, the Offspring enjoyed watching Blue's Clues.  Herself did too.  There was something ever so soothing about the show -- the host Steve's quiet enthusiasm,  the kindness of the characters, the animation.  Everything, really.  Even after Steve left the show, we still had all of our Blue's Clues videos and books and toys to enjoy.  We made our own clues and had our own notebooks and put blue pawprints on all sorts of things.  And it was good.

A few years later, Steve put out a (non-Blue's Clues-related) album, Songs for Dust Mites.  The songs had many scientific references, and were marvelous and unique.  The album got Herself through some tough moments when she was facing some difficult medical issues -- the music helped her to maintain, just as she needed to do. And it was good.

Years later, the Offspring have grown far beyond Blue's Clues, and Herself's medical issues are (mercifully) addressed.  Nevertheless, the Songs for Dust Mites are still on the iPod, just in case they are needed.  Every now and then, they are.  And just today, we came across this video of Steve recounting a tale from his Blue's Clues days.  We admire him all over again -- for his thoughtfulness, his candor, and his storytelling.  It is still good.

Thank you, Steve.
