Charlies, Farley

As much as I’m done with Charlie, the anticipation of his demise haunts me.

Fading Away.

Actress Farrah Fawcett Dead at 62

Coming off the heals of another great.. Ed McMahon  this is just as sad. Even though we see it coming be it a media personality or a family member the stun effect is still there, bringing to light our own mortality. I never thought of myself as a grown up or an elder ( even though Iam a Grandfather..snort’), my level of maturity is apparent or so I’m told and I do stupid shit all the time, In fact I’m quite accomplished at it.  Does the fact that I know whining like a baby or jumping a mountain bike over a garbage can ( with terrible results)  does not make me any younger,does that revelation  make me a ” grown up ” or an elder..no it’s the age thing.

My son and I were watching the news showing clips of the Tonight Show when he made the comment ” look at what  they are wearing ” then proceeded to laugh. I couldn’t help but think of how I looked at old black and whites of long ago. Suddenly I’m hunched over with a cane in hand, with a confused look on my face all the time because I don’t understand text lingo..lol,brb,ttyl..like whatever!

Farrah will be missed in a far more profound way to me as I understand my place in life, on the other ‘ hand’  I will always remember her as Jill(aka Rosie Palmer) Munroe.  Hopefully with a little luck next summer my grandson will be telling his Buddie next to him ” check out my grandfather on the bike”  as I approach the ramp at full speed!
