Shoes, Ships, and Sealing Wax

Can you tell me how to get, how to get to the Senate Hart Office Building?

I remember Watergate. Also, as you might expect from a journalism major, I find the whole Watergate story fascinating. I know a fair amount about Watergate. But going back to remembering it...I was just a little kid, and what I remember is that on television in the afternoons, instead of Sesame Street and the Electric Company, the moms were watching men in suits talking.

I babysat my younger nephew for awhile this afternoon. I watched him at my house, which isn't particularly toddler-friendly...sharp things, bottles of chemicals, biting rodents...but I figured I could turn on PBS and we'd watch some tv. I know Sesame Street is still around.

PBS was showing the Alito confirmation hearing.

Yeah, just try to entertain a toddler with men in suits talking.

(I did scrounge up some Schoolhouse Rock videos, and a copy of In the Night Kitchen to read to him, but in the end he was most interested in going up the stairs to wash his hands in the upstairs bathroom over and over and over again.)
