I was fortunate enough to take one of Dr. Delay’s science classes. I always loved that he had a little mischievous glint in his eye and just genuinely seemed to enjoy life. He was serious but didn’t take things too seriously. I’m so glad he and his wife were the voices of Bib and Dot.

This is a delightful post. Thank you so much for your Bib and Dot sketches as well as the concept of Eulogy virtues. Much food for thought here.

I was so sad to hear about Joe. I’m glad though that you got to do the eulogy. Wish I could have been there. I bet it was beautiful!

Every memory is a treasure. Thank you for adding Bib and Dot (and the Chili Bowl/Public lands clips) to that chest. Thanks for these thoughts. I have considered the sentiment of eulogy virtues before. The best of those are drenched in love.

This is so precious. I was recently at a memorial for a great aunt and it really got me thinking about eulogy virtues, though I didn’t have those words for it. I agree that as a society we need to pay more attention to them. The video is so adorable!

Such inspiring thoughts to launch into the day…. I’ll be sitting with this for some time contemplating my life as art and the virtues that spring forth. Thank you for shining a light into this deep well for us.

Can you post some of the unedited stories of Bib and Dot! I am old, and I want to love love love like they do. I would also love more giggles in my life.

Oooh, love the distinction between resume virtues and eulogy virtues. Words of wisdom I needed to read today, and I loved learning about Joe — thanks for sharing his spirit with us today. 🤍
