If you have toddlers in the house you’ve probably seen a countless number of Sesame Street episodes. But where did the name come from?
It’s pretty simple actually. After searching for a catchy name for the show one of the writers in the show’s writer’s room suggested “Sesame” based on the famous saying “Open, Sesame!” which feels welcoming like you’re about to do something exciting or go on an adventure. Everyone loved it and the rest is history.
Some named that were rejected… The Video Classroom, 1-2-3 Avenue B, and Fun Street. I don’t hate Fun Street but I’m happy they went with Sesame.

Today, Tuesday November 2nd, is Election Day across the country and here in Connecticut. But why do we always vote on a Tuesday?
Much like daylight savings time it all comes down to the farmers. In 1845, when the day was decided, it was agreed upon that farm workers needed a day between Sunday and the day they voted for travel. Election day has stayed on a Tuesday ever since for over 150 years. In recent years there have been some initiatives to try and move it to a weekend day.
I think it should at least be a national holiday. That way everyone is off from work and school and can get out to the polls.
