"The Muppets" in theaters today; my 2008 post about the Jim Henson museum

Author with friend, Leland, MS

The movie, The Muppets, is in theaters today and it is getting favorable reviews. I had a good feeling about it when the friends-in-felt sang on Saturday Night Live last week, although it was a shameless SNL patented movie-plug, the film's co-star, Jason Segel, was the host of the show.

In 2008 I visited the "Birthplace of the Frog" museum in Leland, Mississippi, the Muppet master's hometown. Below you will find that post.
