Thank you Andy Rooney

I just finished listening to Andy Rooney's last 60 Minutes piece. Wow. How can one sum up 33 years of writing presented by a writer on TV? The everyday things stated in a grumpy but honest way on National TV? Thank you Andy for the laughs and tears.

We have gotten to see ourselves grow older. We have a few icons who have been allowed to continue to work on into ages that many of us will never see. We hear about others our age who pass suddenly not able to live the long lives some do. But in the case of CBS, we have the chance to watch those we have watched since high school. Yes, Andy, I dated myself there. So now that I am able to join AARP, now you can retire. Thank you for allowing us to watch and learn all these years.

If I ever see you at a restaurant, you may rest assured that I will not interrupt your meal.
