My f'd up story of the weekend...
My parents went to a 100th birthday party for a friend's mom last weekend.
Yesterday afternoon I was chatting with my dad about it and he mentioned something about the said woman and how someone made a joke smucker's jelly jar for her for the party. We then discussed Willard Scott and I casually said, "Is he still alive."
My dad, "You know, I'm not sure."
Me, "Let me take a look. Well, it appears he's 87 years old, however, this last picture of him he looks pretty old and not in good shape."
Two hours later, "Willard Scott Dead at 87" headline.
I don't think I've thought of Willard Scott in 20+ years and on the day I think of him, he dies a few hours later. So weird...
