It was painful to see him like that. He really needs to retire. It's too late to do it gracefully, but enough is enough.

I can't understand why people would criticize Dick Clark for continuing to help ring in the New Year. I guess this is just another example of the way that our society privledges youth and beauty and has no qualms about tyring to hide the elderly, infirm or disabled in the background.TrueBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10702772457294684373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8200416918526393742.post-72003491325115456532010-01-01T12:36:45.802-05:002010-01-01T12:36:45.802-05:00We watched the ball drop with Dick.

For us, this year, following the stroke that T's mother suffered in August, watching the indomitable Dick Clark do what He's done for so long in spite of his obvious age and disability, is affirming and reassuring. How refreshing, in a society that worships youth and beauty, to see Mr. Clark be exactly who he is and has been for so many of us for many, many years.<br /><br />Happy New Year to you and yours.<br />swanSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03961893281142538409noreply@blogger.com
