Wouldn’t it be something to attend the Academy Awards Ceremony one day? I absolutely adore the movies and celebrities but if it ever came down to brass tacks and I really had the opportunity to go, I think I’d politely decline so I could stay home and watch the Oscar ceremony on television. If you love and have an appreciation for the art of acting like I do, some of the best performances you’ll ever see are during the Academy Awards when a nominee who doesn’t win pretends to be happy and excited for the nominee who did win. I bet the people who are actually there miss a lot of that.

I've always depended upon the kindness of strangers because as long as you don't know their names or where they live, you never have to spend money on thank you notes or gifts. Not much to tell, really. When I was born, my parents placed me in a small wooden boat and pushed me out into the center of the Pulaski Skyway where I was rescued and ultimately raised by a pair of opposums. Sadly, they died when I was very young. At least I think they died. From there I joined the Merchant Marines and was the only toddler in World War II to sink a Japanese battleship while being burped. When I returned to the states, I got a job at Gimbels Department Store and have been there ever since even though they went out of business in 1986. I have always valued loyalty over money and if that's wrong, talk to my wife. You'd get along famously.

If I may I quote the bard please,
“Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more….”
This has no bearings on your hopes though: wish you the best!
Thanks! And thanks for reminding me of my pending relocation to the great void. I was trying to lay off desert but I think I’m going to dive into a half gallon of fudge ripple…
Did you really just use the word “adore”?
Dear Mother, do you understand that I write this from the perspective of the lady in the picture? If the quote were from me, my head would be under that bonnet or whatever it is she’s wearing
Haha! That is so true. You just know some of the losers are hating!
You could see it from the first award…
