R.I.P. Soupy

It was announced this morning that Soupy Sales has died. I remember fondly the show he did back in the mid sixties, and with his passing, the last influence of my childhood is gone. Tonight I looked up some videos from his old show to show the kids, so they can see a real genius at work including the Stripper one which I have always laughed my ass off at. Soupy wherever you are now, thank you for the laughter you brought to so many lives.

Life can really suck sometimes

Late last night we got a call from Mae. She had been to the hospital because she had been bleeding.

It was during that call that she said that she had thought that she was pregnant because she hadn't had a period for the past two months. She says that the doctor said that she wasn't but that she had some tissue that had to be removed. Of course, that doesn't set aside any of our fears of course, and she has been tight lipped about what the 3 scripts were the they gave her.

Now maybe she understands what I told her months ago when I said that "Life is what happens when your busy making other plans."
