Silly Stuff

Well, back to work tomorrow, but it's been a great two weeks off. I got my house in order, I did some shopping, I took some naps, I spent two Fridays with my husband! It was just what I needed.

Yesterday I caught a movie just coming on and had to watch it because it has some classic, classic scenes; City Slickers with Billy Crystal. He and his two buddies take a guys trip every year to unwind and cut loose. Billy's character hates his job, and is having a mid-life crisis. One day he goes to his son's school for career day. As he stands in front of the room of elementary school kids this is what he says:

"Value this time in your life kids. Cause this is the time in your life when you still have your choices. And it goes by so fast. When you're a teenager you think you can do anything and you do. Your 20's are a blur. 30's you raise your family, you make a little money, and you think to yourself "what happened to my 20's?"
40's you grow a little pot belly, you grow another chin. The music starts to get too loud, one of your old girlfriends from high school becomes a grandmother. 50's you have a minor surgery. You'll call it a procedure but it's a surgery. 60's you'll have a major surgery--the music's still too loud but it doesn't matter because you can't hear it anyway. 70's you and the wife retire to Ft. Lauderdale. You start eating dinner at 2:00 in the afternoon. You have lunch around 10:00, and breakfast the night before. You spend most of your time wandering around the mall looking for the ultimate soft yogurt, muttering "How come the kids don't call? How come the kids don't call?" The 80's you'll have a major stroke. You end up babbling to some Jamaican nurse your wife can't stand but you end up calling Mama. Any questions?"
