Joel didn’t get a new pipe yet?

Chipper is 77 years old today, but who cares anyway?

Even though stalwart Joel is trying his best to keep the situation light, I can sense and share his pain about feeling “nekkid without [his] pipe.” I do sincerely hope he is able to stop at his home on his route to speak to the movie producers….. and retrieve one of his pipes. He deserves the comfort it can provide him.

It is indeed regrettable that he lost a pipe to the bear. Every pipe is a unique and beautiful tool AND a work of art. The feeling of loss of that one will remain, but I feel certain one of his others will be able to provide the comfort he needs.

Actor Jimmy Lydon recently died at 98.

Most famous as “Henry ALdrich”,but also played Skeezix in two1951 low budget movies that absolutely nobody has ever seen.

Just the other day they didn’t know if it was Tuesday. Now they’re aware of April Fool’s?
