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 spent my day yesterday helping out with the shooting of a public service announcement for “Operation Iraqi Children,” which hopes to funnel needed school supplies to Iraqi schools. We gathered at the homeĀ [more...]
You know, years ago I had a crush on the editor of The New Republic (until I ran into him a few times in my Dupont Circle neighborhood and realized he was really rude). His name was Andrew Sullivan, and as it turnedĀ [more...]
Diego models the t-shirt that Jann and Mike brought him from Puerto Vallarta… Diego does not like wearing shirts. Meanwhile, Stimpy–the Cat from across the street–has decided to move to my houseĀ [more...]
In that picture he looks a little like Bea Arthur.
I think he’s got more of a Tine Daily thing going on.

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. š
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.
