charles schulz exhibit

 just before midday i went to the exhibit at the minnesota history center in st. paul about the life and art of charles schulz. it had just opened a week earlier and i wasn't planning on going this early but somebody wanted to interview me about it. i got laundry done in the morning then went to the museum. i was wearing my charlie brown trucker hat and the 'it's all good in the hood' shirt with charlie snoopy schroeder linus and pigpen. i spoke of my earliest stories of being a charlie brown fan, it was likely when i finished second in a reading contest in second grade and my prize was the 'great pumpkin' book. along with having my hair cut by somebody who really was named charlie brown and he had those books in his shop for us kids to read. plenty of merchandise there, one thing i hadn't seen before. it was a life jacket. i did have a decent amount of the merchandise on display. nice to see the part about camp snoopy. i was surprised by how many stories i was able to think of related to the comic strip. we did do a photo at lucy's help center. since this is the second time i have been interviewed i saw it as ring of honor worthy. his book was in one of the souvenir shops about the twin city comedy scene in the days of tom arnold so i bought it. there was some charlie brown items as well but i either already had similar items or they were kind of expensive. i had a sandwich in the cafe and then got another look after the interview was done, staying for another hour. i wanted to be satisfied with seeing all of it and getting plenty of pictures as well. i let the interviewer know he was free to use any photos from my facebook page that were relevant to the story. there are 63 in the charlie brown and snoopy album, i am in 3 of them. when i got home i laid down for a little while and then watched 'the simpsons'. what the family would have been like as a bart-less wedding. during my walks i found 1 dollar 19 cents.
