We're going to Star Wars opening night. That means we're nerd engaged, right?
 
I hate when they start advertising the New Year's Eve shows. It means the Christmas season is almost over.
 
Yesterday, at a secular funeral, this was sung:

There are singers that we love as we sing our lives away,
And though we all fall silent in the end,
They will sing with us forever they’ll be singing every day,
When we sing the songs they sang.

Chorus:
For the song goes on, in the songs we sing,
And when one song ends, then another song begins,
So the singers who are gone, will be singing once again,
When we sing the songs they sang.


Couldn't join in for crying, but what a lovely sentiment...
 
Im fighting every bit of temptation to not read Star Wars spoilers.

I do way too many funerals but most are military.

I'm glad you shared this. I like it.
Works with the whole circle of life thing in a way.
 
I found a rerun of an old Bing Crosby Christmas Special. I had fondly remembered those shows, and thought that seeing one again would trigger some serious nostalgia.

The thing is, what really hits you is how totally and completely Hokey and Corny those shows are. I mean, it's very painful and cringeworthy.

I guess your recollections are always selective. Reality can be very different.

You think that is bad. I grew up watching the Muppets. DO you have any idea how many sex jokes are on that show? I didn't either till I grew up and tried to watch an episode with my kid.:eek:

Nothing topped "Pee Wee's Playhouse" for double entendres.:rolleyes:
