Let Us Entertain You

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 !
