Singer, actor, game show host… and education entrepreneur. Remember John Davidson?

Turns out that he has invented educational games and is one of the exhibitors here at our social studies conference.
Wacky!

I have a nagging itch in my head to redesign this blog. You know, I design things for a living, but I can’t ever seem to come up with just the perfect look for my own stuff. So I think, since I will most probably [more...]
When I got home today, I found one of those family-portrait Christmas cards in my mailbox, from the Jimenez-Gomez family — Raul, Daddy, Ana, Papi & Oscar — in Granada Hills, California. I have no idea [more...]
I have many vivid memories of San Jose from when I was a kid, and one of them revisted me this morning while Diego and I were out for a walk. A few doors down, we encountered this guy on the sidewalk. He was just [more...]
In that picture he looks a little like Bea Arthur.
I think he’s got more of a Tine Daily thing going on.
When did he get boobs?
Wow – you guys are harsh like a bunch of biddies criticizing Easter hats in church!
I think it’s rather cool that he has created some educational games that will help kids learn geography; it seems much more worthwhile than hosting a game show, doesn’t it?
It is great, but I have to say my first thought was indeed that he looked like a middle-aged woman. 😐
Ah, pity the poor 1980s celebrity: instantly recognizable by the long, feathered hair, the specimen must maintain that look through the years despite its inappropriateness or datedness. (Is that a word?)
Regardless, I feel bad now — I thought it was cool that he was at our conference and doing something worthwhile, and really didn’t mean to ridicule his appearance!
While I have no need to poke fun of him or how he’s aged. (you guys wait…you’ll get your turn)
I will confess there’s something about John that has always bothered me. Never sure what it was exactly. He just rubbed me the wrong way.
I am glad that he is still out there plugging away and even trying to educate kids. A noble cause indeed. And even better that he doesn’t have the “I was a star” mentality that affected so many actors from the 80’s.
I promise I’ll try to think of his good work with children if he promises not to give me a hug.
