This post was going to be a very deep, insightful piece on life and living, perhaps even revealing the meaning of life to those with sunshine and rainbows in their heart and a sparkle in their eye. Instead Wikipedia has turned my attention to far more significant things–Doris Day.
I’ve never had the pleasure of Doris Day’s acquaintance. In fact, up until today, I thought I probably missed out on that opportunity years ago seeing as death has a funny way of picking on the elderly. But, what?! Doris Day still alive at 87? Doris Day living in California and going by the alias Clara Kappelhoff?!
This could be the beginning of a new “Sunset Boulevard” ! I could be Joe Gillis and Doris Day could be Norma Desmond–both of us living creepily together in her Hollywood mansion like some mixed-up relationship between a live-in writer and a washed-up sugar mamma.
I imagine me parading around her house every day singing her signature song “Que Sera Sera (Whatever Will Be Will Be)” while she pours herself another drink and pets one of her fifty little dogs, wishing I would shut up for once.
What a time-honored classic.
