Glenn - so glad to hear from you and to hear that you are WELL now.
And remind your mom that because you wrote a note to everyone, that you get to have the homemade spaghetti sauce! (she joked you wouldn't if you didn't write!What's a mom for, huh?
)
I had sent your mom a message about comedian Irwin Barker, who was diagnosed last year with cancer (on his birthday, yet). Well, his first concert after a rough couple months of chemo turned out to be the LAST concert at that particular venue before it closed down for good...and he still had a bald head! Yes, there WAS material there!
In his opening, he remarked on the irony of the place being closed and him being the last performer...creative pauses and the odd word...."well, because I have cancer", he finished as he removed his hat.
STUNNED silence in the audience.
"WHOA!" he exclaimed. "TOUGH CROWD!"
They cracked up! And away they went! His motto is, "I don't tell jokes about my cancer, I tell jokes in SPITE of my cancer."
It can't be shared with all audiences of course...lol
