I bleed felt. No, I don’t have some crazy incurable disease. I just absolutely, positively love the Muppets. It’s an obsession, I know. So does my wife. Growing up, I was glued to my TV set at 7:30 pm every week to watch Steve Martin, Mark Hamill and even Vincent Price hang out with my fuzzy best friends.
