clara and jay....

ok, so my friend clara has finally gotten up the gumption to announce her retirement from a job she has disliked (clara is too much of a lady to use stronger words....) for years.......this retirement is years after her spouse retired.....had signifcant health problems......and has basically ambled about the house alone for most of his day................she has health problems of her own.....and was afraid to let loose of her current health insurance in favor of the unknown of medicaid..............such a contrast to jay leno............who also announced his retirement......in 2009 or so.........musn't rush these things.............he surely doesn't have to worry about medicaid coverage........or paying his bills once the nbc checks stop............but yet he felt the need to warn us years in advance................for fear there would be widespread panic?.....................please....................the whole latenight market is so out of my frame of reference i have to admit that i may have never seen his heir- conan obrien- at all, in any broadcast.............it is simply after my bedtime......and on the few times that i do stay up late.....i watch david letterman......ascerbic on even his worst days.............so......byebye jay........i'll hardly know you are gone.....but clara.....the hospital could fold without you to hold it together............................
