I was sorry to hear that Bob Hope passed away, but then again, what a great, long life he lived! As someone who is planning on living to a healthy age of 100, I'm going to use him as a role model.

I remember watching his shows with the military guys overseas when I was young. It was one of my favorite "Christmas" shows. He'd always have some inside jokes about the particular base or military brass and he'd always have a gaggle of beautiful women with him, that would ooh and ahh over him. Then, he'd pick the shyest guy in the bunch to come up on stage and one of the girls would sing or dance with him, as others looked on jealously.

His jokes were sometimes really corny, but his delivery was top notch.

Bob...thanks for the memories.
