What a weird Saturday it has been. Steel grey skies with a chilly breeze as I was blowing leaves and pulling pump from the koi pond only to learn that Malcolm Young of AC/DC has died. My coffee was horrible this morning and I had to spit it out but I did fry up some eggs in butter and put them on english muffins with muenster cheese so that was good. Then I had to take a delivery o firewood and stack it all up only to learn that David Cassidy is on his deathbed. David Cassidy! He looked so young in the Partridge Family but not so much anymore. Then I started hanging some Christmas lights while ham and baked beans were getting cooked only to find out that some lady from Three’s Company died at the age of 83. 83? That’s just crazy. I could imagine the Ropers being 83 but not some young girl. So all that is left for me this evening is to light up my fireplace and pour a glass of red wine. Maybe I will smoke a pipe. It’s been a crazy day.
If the Ropers were still alive, they’d be 93 (Norman Fell) and 99 (Audra Lindley), respectively. She died in 1997, he died in 1998. John Ritter would be 69 if he were still with us (died at 54 in 2003).
“I could imagine the Ropers being 83 but not some young girl. “
Well, she was about 42 when she was on Three’s Company. Time passes. . . too darn fast. If “Jack Tripper” (John Ritter) were still alive today, he would be 69 years old. Suzanne Somers is 71! Her son, whom she had when she was a teenager is about 52 or 53 years old. How strange to think her son is almost the same age as John Ritter when he died!
Time passes. . . and it passes faster the older you get.
