IT WASN’T ‘EMMY’NENT!


Well, I had it all figured out, it would occupy the space I had reserved on my mantle when I built a fireplace for it for my Noble Peace Prize, and I was planning to make a traveling case for it when I left the house everyday, but it is not meant to be this year. I’m talking of course about the Emmy #1 Son should have won but did not.

Life goes on and we must adjust, and I will try to understand that those (%^$#@^(&% in Hollywood don’t know what they are doing.

The thing that really makes me angry is for the second time in two years, it is the last award given out, and for the last two years in a row I waited through about 3 hours of lame jokes, had they hired the writers of The Big Bang Theory to write them, they would have been entertaining!

In spite of the fact that the writers are the best writers to come out of the world since the Ten Commandments, they were once again denied!

But life goes on and we must adjust, and I will try to understand that those (%^$#@^(&% in Hollywood don’t know what they are doing.

Of course #1 Son had a beautiful escort again to the awards (his wife Courtney), and so he should be grateful he won someone special, which is more than a statue, but his equal in all things except she is prettier.

I harbor no bitterness, and neither does TLW (The Little Woman) who said: “To think I changed his diapers once!” (Believe me, those words were cleaned up!)

I remember when he was just a tyke, came to work with me and was carrying on conversations with grownups like he was an old man. I remember people saying to him; “Try to explain to your Daddy…”

We are not disappointed. We are very happy that he had this wonderful opportunity, to write for a great show, to work with some really great people that I know personally, and to have a wonderful gal at his side. That is all the reward he needs.

But life goes on and we must adjust, and I will try to understand that those (%^$#@^(&% in Hollywood don’t know what they are doing.
