Here is Mayme Vail, the sweet old lady Marc and Kim and Frank talked to Wednesday morning. They have just set the American record for being married to each other longer than any other couple still living. Click here for the article.
For months now, we have joked that actor William Mapother, Tom Cruise's cousin, is the biological father of Suri Cruise because of the resemblance.
Kim demonstrates the moves she used when her Victorian era caroling group was asked to sing like a black gospel choir.
Kim and Frank both celebrate birthdays this week. Kim received an e-mail about thoughts on aging. You can read it here:
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited
about aging that you think in fractions. "How old are you?" "I'm four and a half! "You're never thirty-six and a half. You're four and a half, going on five! That's the key.
You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead. "How old are you?" "I'm gonna be 16!" You could be 13, but hey, you're gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life . . . you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony . . . YOU BECOME 21... YESSSS!!!
But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There's no fun now, you're just a sour-dumpling. What's wrong? What's changed? You BECOME 21, you TURN 30,
then you're PUSHING 40.. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it's all slipping away! Before you know it, you REACH 50 . . . and your dreams are gone. But wait!!! You MAKE it to 60. You didn't think you would! So you BECOME 21, TURN 30, PUSH 40, REACH 50 and MAKE it to 60. You've built up so much speed that you HIT 70!
After that it's a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday! You get into your 80s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn't end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; "I was JUST 92." Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. "I'm 100 and a half!" May all of you make it to a 100 and a half!
Kim's son Eli was startled when he found this handmade Mr. T doll stashed in a cabinet at his Grandma's house. Now Eli lets Mr. T ride on the back of his Bob the Builder truck... assuming he can get it away from Marc.
