not quite 2,000 years

Mel Brooks turned 94 on Sun­day and spent it with his life­long friend, Carl Reiner.

Carl died the next day.

I’m pret­ty choked up over this. A friend­ship that spanned 70 years. They couldn’t hang out as much re­cent­ly be­cause of coro­n­avirus so they’d still call each oth­er every night and watch Jeop­ardy over the phone. They got to spend time to­geth­er in per­son on Sun­day for Mel’s birth­day. I can’t help but think Carl hung on to see his friend one last time.

One last birth­day cel­e­bra­tion and then he passed away the next day.

 

This new tweet re­places my dai­ly one about the 2600 dis­placed chil­dren who were sep­a­rat­ed from their par­ents by our Pres­i­dent. I will retweet this un­til the re­main­ing 700 chil­dren are re­unit­ed with their families.

98 is a great run, but these are the kind of peo­ple you wish could live forever.
