And when I spend time with my friend who just had surgery, we reminisce on all the trips we took together and laugh at all the close calls we had.

I'd never before heard of that group and I just was clapping along and loving the song (which I'd never heard before!) and the way the five men "lived" the music. Thank you. As to other smiles, like you, kittens and cats and the independence just delights me.

Jenn, I'm not sure if Monty Python's song is appropriate for a funeral either... but it is a personal thing... and these days anything that lifts people's spirits is a go for me.

I always catch a baby's eye when I'm out shopping (hopefully don't seem too creepy to the parent (s)!).
