How Could I Forget!
Tue., June 17, 09:03 AM
This is just an addition to my last post. Only I could forget the one thing that I wanted to share.
On the morning of my birthday (which was more than a week ago already), the U.D. reminded me that I should listen to the Morning Show on WQUN after seven-thirty. I usually do, of course, but she wanted to make sure I didn’t get distracted.
At half past each hour, there is a routine: network news, local news, weather, traffic, sports. Following that, Ray and Greg go into one of their “weekly features.” In this case, it was Connecticut history, with questions like when was the first mine opened in Connecticut (you didn’t know there was ever a mine in Connecticut, did you?). I like the feature, even when I can’t answer the questions.
Right after that, I heard a chorus loudly singing, “Happy birthday! Happy birthday!” The first thought that went through my head was, “oh, no, I’m so old I’m part of Connecticut history!” Then Ray announced that the U.D. had requested a specific recording for my birthday. Tony Bennett and Kermit the Frog singing, “Firefly,” as if you couldn’t guess.
So I got both a grin (from the song) as well as a good laugh. Sometimes I get so caught up in my own words I forget what I was talking about.
