I have to acknowledge a birthday today: Paul Reubens, whose most famous character is Pee Wee Herman, turns 60 today. No cancer connection -- I just really, really love the movie Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
I saw it four times during the first two weeks it was in theaters. My mom bought me a talking Pee Wee doll for my 21st birthday (it's on a shelf in my office. Students regularly comment on it). I spent way too many Saturday mornings watching Pee Wee's Playhouse in college.
And now, my kids are fans. Pee Wee brings them as much joy as he brought me.
Happy birthday, P.W.
