So what was happening in 1920 when Abe was born? The BIG news was that the United States Post Office ruled that children could no longer not be sent across the country via parcel post. I guess it was becoming a problem with their new "if it fits" campaign.
Also in 1920 a terrorist bombed Wall Street when a horse wagon exploded in front of the J. P. Morgan building in New York City, killing 38 and injuring 400. The President of J.P. Morgon proclaimed that the marks on the walls of the building should never be removed and you can still see them.
Ed is 2 days older then Tony Randall (who left us in 2004), and James Doohan (Scotty in Star Trek) who was born 7 days later (his ash's were sent into space in 2005).
Personally I would like to be buried and have an Autumn Blaze Maple planted on top of me. Then when DJ passes she should be buried next to me and another Autumn Blaze Maple would be planted on top of her. Then when the trees get older our branches will touch and we can hold hands again.
How do I go about planning for this (not that I'm planning on dieing in the next 40 years, I have a lot of things to get off my chest in this blog before THAT happens).

How about those Americans in the women's short-track relay - U.S.A U.S.A U.S.A
So what if they were 7 laps back in a 4 lap race. They had one of the biggest comebacks ever and got the bronze medal. YEA YEA - so the South Koreans were disqualified for inappropriate boob touching with the Chinese on the last lap. We still got the bronze
U.S.A U.S.A U.S.A
Germany failed to medal in the bobsled which was a surprise and helped overall in the race for #1. Both American and Germany should win about 5 more medals while Canada will win 11 but come up short. Canada will probably win the most golds, I guess all or nothing.
However - if you are a Canadian it's all about Hockey eh? Beat USA and all might be forgiven eh?
Speaking of Left Hand Lewie! He is going under the knife today with a left shoulder operation. Obviously my photograph of him the first time I met him foretold the future of his left arm. Who knew my camera was magic in finding future problems.

For anybody wondering around my building (1 W. Wilson - Health Services - we took the family out of Health and Family Services - too many complainers ) go up to the 6th floor where I have 12 of my pieces on display!

And to send you on your way with smile - here is Caydence who is doing well and is happy . . .except when she is crankkwery.
Great Blog!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated B-day Abe!
Many more!
The thought of you and DJ holding hands at some point after you are gone, was the sweetest thing I have ever heard!
Go Rod!
Just make sure you write it down so your POA knows what your wishes are, and that the cemetery you choose will honor it.
I hope LHL is doing well!
Well wishes are with you all!
Adorable Caydence!

ReplyDeleteAbe Vigoda. The guy hasn't aged a day since the Barney Miller days.
ReplyDeleteWhat a romantic! Planting trees so you can hold hands when you're both gone.
That has got to be THE cutest baby this side of the Mississippi -- and probably the other side too!
