Dear late president Ford:
I’m sorry that this morning, when I was told you had passed away, I said nonchalantly, “So did James Brown.” That was irreverent of me. Like any US citizen, I am grateful for your restoration of a post-war nation in the short time during your administration. Thanks.
Dear Mr. Brown:
I’m sorry that yesterday morning, when I was told you had passed away, I said nonchalantly, “So that line in the song James Brown…is dead is true now.” That was rude of me. Like any American, I am grateful for your contributions to the Americana music scene. Thanks.
There. Now don’t anybody say I don’t write right my wrongs.
Dear late President Ford,
I’ll apologize for her. I heard about what happened early this morning… I thought I was actually going to join you lastnight but I feel better now. You lived a long time though… 93 years is commendable. I forgive you for pardoning Richard Nixon.
Jordan
Dear late James Brown,
I’m not sure she even knows who you are… (I think she was born after you stopped singing). haha. sorry. We were just talking about you at work on Monday. You came on the radio, singing your version of some Christmas tune. I’m sorry for saying it was awful… and something like “turn the station”. But seriously.. Christmas tunes was not your thing.
Jordan
Oh I don’t know if I’m supposed to laugh here or say shame on you two. I’m just not going to comment.
I feel better now cuz Jordan outdid me on the disrespecting the dead thing.
I know…and how weird was it that I apologized to them for your disrespect and turned around and upped it one. I guess I just know that they won’t be reading this blog.
Ya never know. I think Grace reads this blog.
