Merv Griffin, RIP

When I was five, I wanted to be Merv. When I went to my grandparents’ apartment in Newark, I’d go out on the balcony, beyond the curtains, then my Irish grandpa would shout, “Heeeere’s Merv!”, and I would charge in through the curtains and everyone would cheer. Good times.

Later on, I won a ton of money at his Lake Charles casino.

RIP.

Yeah. I grew up with Merv too.

And then I got to grad school and met a guy who threw back the sliding-glass-door curtain and re-enacted his childhood game. You've got a sense of humor about yourself, Joe, and that separates you from most people -- in a great way.

Hugs,
GSB -- or is it GSP?

Let's say . . . GSB. Buddy.
