Entertainment is
Looking at Old Age
with a
Smile
As our opening blog comments
explain...
Our primary
purpose is to...
Entertain You
Now...if entertainment to you includes notifications of weekly committee meetings....
...or...
...menus in a restaurant that changes ownership as often as I change socks...
...or...
....complaints about lousy landscaping...
This may not
be the place for you !
However...there are moments elsewhere that we do find...
HILARIOUS
at times.
Often we see comments about "the gravy"
or the "stinky fish", and I ask myself.....
"Is that all there
is?"
Just who would take time from their precious few remaining moments on this earth....and dwell on "stinky" fish or dead plants ?
Oh well, "whatever floats your bobber", I suppose
!
I imagine that is part of getting old
and living in a retirement community.
How about conversations between "mature" adults?
Isn't it fascinating to know Susie's
grandchild burped for the first time ?
What about those marvelous
conversations seniors have about their health?
I know I can't wait to hear about Joe's
replaced knee or Sam's enlarged prostate, or Erma's bulging medicine cabinet
with every known pill known to modern man !
BORING !!!!
However....once in a while, some of
this can actually entertain....but only if one is able to look at all of this
with a smile, and come to the conclusion that...
"being over the
hill...is better than...being under
it"
So...if you are one of this latter
group that looks at old age as...
"S_ _T HAPPENS"
...we found something that can look at
all of this in the way that it should be....
...with a smile.
It's a speech from a man named Fritz
Coleman, an NBC Weatherman, the keynote speaker at the Pasadena Conference on
Aging in March, 2014.
If you need a "belly laugh" to start your day....and can look at old age
as it needs to be looked at....this should do the trick
!
