Nothing new

Not much has gone on lately. It's been pretty quiet.

The other day I watched The Great Dictator, which stars Charlie Chaplin. They spoof the nazi's during World War 2. It's a pretty funny movie... I like the ending, not very funny...but somewhat profound.

In rememberance

My favorite great uncle passed on this week. It wasn't a surprise. My mom, dad and I saw it coming, but thankfully we all knew we'd done the best we could for him in light of the circumstances. My uncle only had so many relatives, and when timed came that he needed to have more people around him for the sake of his sanity and welfare, my folks and I were happy to let him move in with us.

For five years we watched him deteriorate in health mentally and physically. We took care of him as best we could until we couldn't any longer, and had to move him into a nursing home. It made me happy to know that he, being the social-type of person he was, had many friends out of the other residents and staff at the nursing home...so I know his last two years on this earth were happy. It was too bad that after so long he couldn't get around on his own, or even remember people's faces.

He's in a better place now, and I'm sure we'll see each other again one day.

Since I haven't posted any video here in a long while, here's something to entertain you...
