Remembering STAN LAUREL (1890-1965)
Remembering Stan Laurel who went bye bye on February 23rd, 1965 at age 74! Never forgotten, always in our hearts!
Laurel died on 23 February 1965, aged 74, in his flat, four days following a heart attack. He told his nurse that he would not mind going skiing, and she replied that she was not aware that he was a skier. "I'm not," said Laurel, "I'd rather be doing that than getting all these needles stuck in me!" A few minutes later he died quietly in his armchair. Stan Laurel had a net worth of $50 thousand at the time of his death in 1965. Unfortunately, Oliver Hardy and Stan Laurel never benefited financially in a meaningful way from their massive success.

CLARINET PRACTICE IN THE BEDROOM...
The snake charmer flute produces a high-pitched, droning sound used to "charm" snakes, which actually react to the visual movement and vibrations of the instrument, not the music. On the other hand, if the vibrations of a clarinet can charm one of the belts in my closet, then I don't know what!

LOVE OUT OF STOCK!
I've reached a point in my life where love is simply not in the menu and I accept it as one of the many inevitable facts of getting older!

IT'S NICE TO GO TRAV'LING!
Spent three weeks with my chosen daughter Allana and her four kids at Boerne, Texas. We had a wonderful time in spite of the freezing cold weather they were facing there. As always, I was deeply saddened when we had to part ways although the trip provided me with some priceless and memorable moments. Time to be flying home came all too soon and I brought back great memories spent with my family there.
And just like Sinatra said in a song: "It's very nice to go trav'ling but it's, oh, so nice to come home!"
