GOOD THINGS DO HAPPEN
I might have opened a can of worms here, but fishing season is here! At first I was expecting the Tsunami of opinion to drag my wretched hind quarters out to sea and leave me there for the sharks! But as I read many of the comments and ideas I see that people are actually opening up to one another and putting their fears aside and talking so openly. I can’t credit myself for any of this, but it’s the good that comes out of people naturally that’s been there all along. This is a great place for us to link up with others. We bring out the best in ourselves when we but open our minds and hearts and thoughts to each other. I love the postings and blogs of so many who have had the opportunities that I’ve never even dreamed of and the rich experiences that are so priceless and awe inspiring. They lift us up to a higher level of consciousness and especially when we consider that the ones sharing those experiences have offered themselves freely on a plane equal to everybody regardless of levels of education, or status. We’re all in this together and we might as well make the best of it, whatever “it” is. I think this friendship is as meaningful as each one allows for it to be, but in any case friendship is wonderful on any level! I’ll do something that I rarely do, and shut up! But….I think that if we are true to ourselves then we will be true to others. I’m really looking forward to meeting, “FRIENDS”! A toast to FRIENDS! Drink up!

Thanks and here’s to friends (burp)
Well said pianerman – “To Friends” !
I couldn’t agree with you more pianerman – thanks for a wonderful blog.
LMAO Ralph Cramden (Jackie Gleason) says to Ed Norton (Art Carney) “Heads I win, tails you lose!”
and Alice (Joice Randolph) says, “Ralph, how could you!!” Ralph looks at Alice and says, “What do you mean, that’s how we got married!!” LOL Love those old funnies. Then Ralph’s mother in law comes in and says to Alice, “Just because you’re married to a horse doesn’t mean you have to live in a STABLE” Ralph says, “I didn’t start this, Mammy Yokum did!” You have to admit it, those old comedies were a GAS! Red Sokelton when he played the part of the bird, folded up his arms under his arm pits and put on that stupid face, and found himself laughing at his own antics. Gotta love it! I like those Brit comedies on Public Television, “Keeping Up Appearances” and that one “Waiting for God”. I hate it when they’re begging support and they take them off the air, gotta I guess, but sure miss ’em. You Brits have a way with good comedy that makes me roll on the floor! Monte Python! Oh please! I also hear that Art Carney had trouble with alchoholism too, and some of the sets he was nearly blasted! Have you ever noticed Art Carney’s hands? They look like CATCHER’S MITS! This guy had enormous arms if you look closely, and alot of talent. One episode he played the piano, and another he danced the “huckey Puck” or something and his moves were incredible! He was a natural! Then guys like Dean Martin couldn’t do their set unless they were PLASTERED almost, and he never ever rehearsed his parts on his show, they were all done off the cuff, he insisted on it! And everybody loved him! Goes to show you, people will love ya if you just be yourself, be a NATURAL!
I agree with you pianerman – comics nowadays aren’t a patch on those of yesteryear. I especially agree with your last remark “Goes to show, people wil love ya if you just be yourself, be a natural.” I heartily subscribe to being natural – I figure if people don’t love me for who I am, they certainly won’t love me for who I’m not!
Thanks for your blog.
Well said Pianerman.
