Word-walkers of the universe, mourn through the laughter. We have lost a dear friend as Art Buchwald departs from the audible range of most of us. Hark.. I hear the giggles as he passes through to a more ethereal plane. The angels are throwing a homecoming! He for whom the word 'mirth' was surely coined. He who dares those around him to chortle, chuckle, grin... yea, laugh out loud at the sheer absurdity of it all.
In February last year, he ... wait. You can read all about him on a dozen sites, including Wikipedia.
His parting question: "What's it all about, Alfie?" Well, we may not have that answer -- yet. Meanwhile, we can be grateful to have had him circling our lives in so many forms. So, Art, here's to you (*hoists a banana split and a box of cereal*)
Expect thunder now as God rolls across the floor of the heavens, shedding tears of glee as hailstones, Ultimate Audience.
