RIP, Mr. Ramis

2/24/2014

 
I have no problem telling my age - it's 59 - and I have no problem being the age I am - no thanks, L'oreal.

What I AM having problems with today is losing Harold Ramis.  If you need to Google him, shame on you.  Do any of these movies ring a bell?  National Lampoon's Animal House or Vacation? Caddyshack? Stripes? Groundhog Day? Ghostbusters? Analyze This?  Analyze That? Do the initials SCTV mean anything to you?

I'm not sure a week has gone by in our household without someone quoting the words of Mr. Ramis.  

And of course, along with missing Mr. Ramis, I am reminded that I am not as young as I once was.  It's one thing to hear about Shirley Temple passing, or Sid Caesar; both talented and missed as well, but they were my PARENT'S age.  Losing a man just a few years older than my husband is a wake up call for remembering several things:

* to re-watch movies from my younger days and enjoy them.

* to pass along said movies to another generation.  For every Jack Black or Zach Galinfianakis or Mindy Kaling or Tina Fey, there's been a Bill Murray, a Gilda Radner, a John Belushi, an Eddie Murphy, and a Harold Ramis.

* to spend a little more time laughing in general; things can get pretty sour without humour in the day.

Oh - and always remember: "Don't cross the streams"

Thanks, Mr. Ramis
