Happy Birthday Jim Henson

So yesterday was Jim Henson's Birthday. Oh that I were talented enough to pay homage to his wonderful characters through our bentos...but I'm not in his universe when it comes to talent. His works shaped my youth : Sesame Street, The Muppets, Labyrinth, Fraggle Rock, and The Dark Crystal are all movies and characters I still hold near and dear to my heart. All lunches are packed in Easy Lunch Boxes.

It's time to get things started...its time to light the lights...
