Elmo and Me!

Today, a great day -- a celebration of "Sesame Street" (turning 40 this season!)

Everyone loves Elmo! And so do I.

At today's NETA session, we heard all about the 40th season of "Sesame," a new version of "The Electric Company," and other projects by Sesame Workshop.

And, we got to pose with Elmo. The Real Elmo. Not the costume suit one can rent for events at a station.

In my fantasies, I know if The Marmelade Gypsy could talk, he would sound like Elmo. He doesn't have a big enough vocabulary to be grammatically correct, but he is sweet, charming and winning!

The sessions I was moderating were very successful -- a booming attendance and the first and at the evening extra, a smaller but good attendance.

We all learned a lot. I learned to Twitter. If you tweet, look for MarmeladeGypsy!

How did I miss these pictures before? Egads, Elmo? My daughter will be jealous; to this day (and she's 25), he's her favorite, and favorite "stuffed" toy we got her ages ago.

And you met the "real" one!!!! (autograph?)
