Barry Mannilow Said It

Shortly before the upcoming Presidential Election a number of years ago, actress Sally Kellerman was asked who she intended to vote for. "Jerry Brown," was her reply. Why? "Because he was the only person who showed up to help me move," was her answer. In my book, that was as good a reason to vote for someone as I have ever heard. People who help you move deserve V.I.P. passes in Heaven. What prompted me to recall this story? On a recent Blog that I posted, I received a comment from a friend who happens to be a very good friend of some very good friends of mine. She is a person with more spunk, spark and passion for life than anybody I know. During a rather bleak period in my life, she was there for me. She helped move me without even being asked. She cared. She is among the list of angels in my life. Am I one fortunate son-of-a-bitch, or what? Thanks Mandy.
