i made it back to the comedy club for mondays after missing the last two. it was closed memorial day, and i was so tired i decided to stay home last week. but a few of those i know weren't there tonight. since i was tired tonight, and wasn't picked after signing up, i decided to go home early. it was a full club, and i was slow to go claim a seat too. but i still like visiting with people, the sense of community is nice. one fellow comic was eating mussels, i wasn't sure but they were in shells. i was so tired after work that i kept falling asleep on the bus home.
it was a long day at work, i was busy for most of the day which isn't normal. after getting home from the club i liked hearing from a classmate on facebook, the same one who started a website about the newton football team. he shared with me how he did attend emerson hough school, and saw players from central junior high practice at the school. i said that central was a part of my memories of my family moving to newton, since my sister went to central for a half-year in its final year. i saw the school first before my own as my sister was dropped off first. and we went to a chorus concert there as well. it is something i refer to whenever they talk of the "MASH" final episode, as the concert was the same night. my dad was upset how he couldn't see the final episode, as most people didn't have VCRs to tape it then. he did eventually see it, as there was a copy of it available at the video store. it has been re-aired a few times in prime time too.
i am still amazed at times how i can think of what to share, but i keep finding a way. but then again, just about anything might trigger a reminder- or tiein- to a 'simpsons' episode. a memory is truly only valuable when shared with others. this is why history, especially oral history, should be documented and preserved.
