Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

LAUGH, I THOUGHT I'D DIE
This is my handsome 18 year old grandson Ryan. He has been notorious all his life for telling the most lame jokes. So how in the world did he have me laughing harder last night than I have in years.
Ryan simply opened the dinner conversation with "I saw the funniest episode of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM the other night"...and he went on from there to basically re-tell the entire episode. I doubt he left out one detail and his gestures and facial expressions and his own enthusiasm are hard to describe.
I like that show sometimes but will not be able to enjoy future episodes without wishing Ryan was around to re-tell the story.
He has been accepted at OU and will leave for college this fall. 18 years! I must have blinked.

Hi Annie ~~ Your grandson is very
ReplyDeletehandsom and must be fun to be with. Be careful of those blinks !!
Love, Merle.
What a cutie!! We like Curb Your Enthusiasm too, and I always say that he emulates mr. kenju!
ReplyDeleteCuz, getting older is NOT for the faint-hearted! It doesn't seem like it was that long ago that he was riding his bicycle. I really regret living so far away from my extended family, that we only got to see each other every couple of years. It meant so much to me to see you all in March.
ReplyDeleteKnow that my love is always there for all of you!
What a handsome young man! And so talented, too, that he can make you laugh like that. Truly a time to be treasured.
ReplyDeleteGood looking guy and if he's funny too, he's going to be very popular!
ReplyDeleteTime flies by doesn't it?
Now that is a good looking fellow...glad he is persuing his education and wish him well.
ReplyDeleteThey grow like weeds, don't they?
ReplyDeleteThat is a great talent to have...the only time I make people laugh is by accident, when I am self-deprecating. Or think people say things that they really didn't!
ReplyDeleteHe is a real cutie pie!
