Cereal Days: A tribute to the Golden Age of cereal

(Cereal Days lyrics. Watch the video here.)

Cheerio, Apple Jack Honey wants her Sugar Smacks

Corn pop Cocopuff, Sonny's gonna do his stuff

Captain Crunch get your Kix, here the rabbit, hide the Trix

Tony Tiger Sugar Bear share some with that silly hare.

Peanut butter Smedley, crunch berry medley!

Jean Lafoote, you stole my lunch, come back with my Cinnamon Crunch!

Cereal Days, camped out by the TV!

Cereal Days, sugar high for you and me!

Cereal Days, find the prize inside the box!

Cereal Days...Cereal rocks!

Snap, Crackle, Pop!

Toucan Sam Golden Graham, Fruity Pebbles, Bam Bam!

Loving Life with a spoon, do you remember ol Kaboom?

Clowning round with Frosted Flakes, How about some Quisp and Quake?

Quake was fat and then got thin, Quisp - a smiling alien.

King Vitamin is gone, he could have used a Lucky Charm

Hearts, Stars, Moons, Clovers, the Leprechaun will bowl you over!

Oh no, what's next Shredded Wheat and Rice Chex

Total fitness, Special K, it's all so tame...

Honeycomb still calls my name!

Count Chocula, Boo Berry, change the color of the dairy!

Very scary Frankenberry, artificial strawberry.

Over the hill Wafallo Bill - Waffle Flavored Cereal.

Rice Crispies, Alpha Bits...breakfast, with benefits!

Sponsored by the Jackson Five, on the box a forty five!

Cut it out and ABC, a little record just for me!

Cereal Days, camped out by the TV!

Cereal Days, sugar high for you and me!

Cereal Days, find the prize inside the box!

Cereal Days...Cereal rocks!

Don't forget The Freakies!

Cereal Days, find the prize inside the box!

Cereal Days...Cereal rocks!

Spoon!

The Graduate

I have never been to a graduation at Yale, Harvard or any other Ivy League school, mainly because I couldn't get into one of those prestigious institutions unless I broke in at night, in which case I would be arrested and sentenced to serve time in another kind of institution. But I recently did attend a graduation at Old Steeple, a preschool in Aquebogue, New York, and its moving-up ceremony beat anything a university could put on. I admit to being prejudiced because my 4-year-old grandd ...

Watching 'Route 66' from NC 66...so many years ago

Besides a place where animals are kept, menagerie also means, "An odd or eclectic assortment of things." That would describe our family room. Or basement. Or great room. Or whatever they call the place where people hang out after dinner these days. Our current "gathering room" is three or four times larger than the den I remember off highway 66. This was NC 66, which connects Kernersville to Horneytown, about nine miles. It was not U.S. Route 66, which connects Chicago to Los Angeles, abo ...
