This week has been very interesting in regards to anniversaries...
The first event is the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Check out this article from the New York Times- it has a nice overview of the history of the Berlin Wall, as well as an interesting interactive feature that allows you to view photographs of various portions of the Berlin Wall from both 1989 and 2009. The pictures speak for themselves.
The second event is the 20th anniversary of the 80's movie Say Anything. To mark the occasion this week, Lloyd Dobler impersonators descended upon NYC with boomboxes held high (just like the scene from the movie) and essentially serenaded the city. Classic move for a classic movie!
And the last event: it's the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street- a show that continues to be a driving force behind quality programming for children. With forty years of potential video clips to show, it's only fitting that I share this little tidbit with you to celebrate...

The counting song is my absolute favorite from Sesame Street: 12345, 6789 10 11 12 doo, do do do do do, doo do do do do do, doo do do do do do doo do-do DO! I wonder why they always stopped at twelve? It's a good thing I went to school and learned there were more numbers! :) Happy Anniversary Sesame Street!
Bird Bird sure doesn't look forty to me! What is the normal lifespan for a bird his age, anyway?
