“Do not send to ask for whom the bell tolls.......”
Ev’ry day seems like somethin’ happens to remind me that time flies whether you have fun or not.....sort’a like ‘pick your posies when you may’ stuff....Farrah Fawcet is dying (probably) of cancer ‘n she’d doing it publicly...well, at least on camera anyway.....public people live their life for the world t’see ‘n for many of them, the part that the world doesn’t see is less real....privately they may be shorter, fatter, dumber.....they may be boozers, druggies and/or perverts......they may have less hair ‘n more pimples.....completely different people in private than in public....When Burt Reynolds was married to Loni Anderson, they lived in different wings of their mansion ‘n told a magazine that they never let the other see them without their makeup......Laurence Olivier... Sir Laurence Olivier told late night television watchers that he was dumb ‘n that if he weren’t an actor, he would probably have ended up ‘on the dole’.....I don’t think that’s completely true.....like the sophism about the dumb jock...altho’ I’m quite sure that there are dumb jocks ‘n dumb actors, I’m just as sure that there are dumb writers, teachers, policemen, druggists, whatever profession you might think of, dumb is no respecter of person....we all have huge gaps in our thought processing centers that should prob’ly be labelled ‘dumb’....maybe even capitalized ‘DUMB’.....(possible exception, of course, being politicians who are always in their own little world to the exclusion of everyone else).....
Anyways, Millyrose ‘n I are rapidly coming up on our 50th wedding anniversay (talk about time flying) ‘n she ‘n the gurlz have been uber-bizzy arranging a humongous luncheon to celebrate this momentous occasion...(I’m reminded of Lincoln’s words, “The world shall little note nor long remember......”)
Not that I’ve ever been noted for my modesty but I can’t lay claim to any bragging rights for the longevity of this marriage.....it’s all the fault of Millyrose for putting up with me.....I’m just the designated driver.....
