Dick Martin dies

Dick Martin died.

He was half of the 'Rowan and Martin's Laugh-in', a 1960s TV comedy series.

I use to watch them when I was kid.

Another line: "Look that up in your Funk & Wagnells."

Then there was R&W's references to the 'Maltese bippy,' whatever that was.

I'm too young to have seen the show live, but I have seen re-runs. It goes like this:

Dan Rowan: "Say 'Goodnight', Dick!"
Dick Martin: "Goodnight, Dick!"

It was a play on the difficulty of punctuating the spoken word.

As one "DICK" to another......

HAPPY MEMORIAL WEEKEND!

~Wolfie

Our friends come and go
We miss them all....
We can't make changes
What was, just was

We can want them back all we want
CRY, for the absence of them...
Take care of who is behind
But never forget them no matter how hard we try



GOD BLESS OUR VETS


*I was tempted somehow to make that better. Maybe someway make it nicer, or less sharp, or cutting. But that is how it is, life and the end of it is black and white. What we do is how we live - if it ends... It ends.

We know that sooner or later we pass on.

But who we are while we live is the great thing. That is what makes us who we were when we are gone.

And one day, we all leave this place.

It is best to live well while we have the time


I have no "DEATH WISH", understand....

This is my "LIFE WISH" !!!
