Mister Rogers Is Back

Or at least I thought so. Phil was watching The Price Is Right with Drew Carey who has lost weight. I was upstairs when Phil appeared and excitedly told me to come downstairs and see. So I did and he has—80 pounds. Anyway, after the show was over last Friday Phil turned to PBS and we both heard.

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,

A beautiful day for a neighbor,

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

It's a neighborly day in this beautywood,

A neighborly day for a beauty,

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you,

I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So let's make the most of this beautiful day,

Since we're together, we might as well say,

Would you be mine?

Could you be mine?

Won't you be my neighbor?

Won't you please,

Won't you please,

Please won't you be my neighbor?

Yes, we would love to be his neighbor. Phil clapped and cheered—Mister Rogers was back after a year-long hiatus. I clapped and cheered. Then I looked at the KCTS 9 Viewer Guide and Mister Rogers is on Fridays only. Phil didn’t seem to mind when I told him. He is just plain happy to see him again.
