I thought with all the glum weather and public events, we needed some giggles. Really funny if you are one of the afflicted... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzSaoN2LdfU

I saw that one last week Andi, and laughed all the way through it as it was sooooo much of what I do every day, i.e, "Why did I come in this room?"!

Andi sent to me I told her Tony and I now talk in charades- point, gesture, etc for what we cannot remember - I tried to tell him one time about woman I saw at Grocery store could not remember her name - I said "you know, gray hair, about 60 plus, married to chubby guy, they live down the street, have 3 kids" He reminded me I had just described 50% of PVB :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Reminds me of a story - which may or not be true:
Sir Thomas Beecham, famed British conductor, encounters elegantly dressed matron in a book store.
The woman greets him warmly and he racks his brain trying to remember who she is.
After several minutes of conversation the woman mentions her brother.
Aha, a clue, Sir Thomas thinks:
"What's your brother doing these days?"
The woman responds:
"He's still king."
"Life is far too serious to be taken seriously."

Ted I cannot remember all details of a sweet story you told us about your very young grandson who was visiting you - seems he'd touch some things in your office you preferred he not touch so you told him a few times "no no leave that alone I will get you one when you get older" - when you zipped him into his ski jacket that night you commented on what a great jacket he was wearing - he told you "maybe I'll get YOU one when YOU get older" I loved that story so much although can't tell it as you did XXOO

That was Callaghan when he was about 5 or 6 - he turned 12 JAn. 28. (He's in center tubing below with 2 cousins.)
Glad we're not the only ones getting older!

Obviously Callaghan had the family genes for wit and humor at young age :app: :app:
