“The Passing of the Miracle Whip Wide Mouth Jar” - I’m not sure why, but I really like this brief story. I found it while searching for “Miracle Whip” on Google, because some of us were arguing over the ingredients. This has nothing to do with the ingredients, but it’s a nice tale nonetheless.

“‘We were lucky to have him in Seattle,’ Johnston said. ‘He nailed it so perfectly, and he touched so many people’s lives.’” It’s probably normal to think that today’s kids “don’t have it as good as we did,” but in the case of children’s tv, they really don’t. Because they don’t have J.P. Patches. Hm. J.P. does birthday party appearances… my birthday is next month…
