1:31:00
and it actually ate me.
1:31:02
I went to the bank
and the teller looked at me strangely...
1:31:06
and I got home
and I looked at myself in the mirror...
1:31:08
and my face was still green
from a facial mask...
1:31:10
that I had forgotten to take off.
1:31:12
And I called our insurance man
of 30 years...
1:31:15
whose son Mitch had actually helped
to get into West Point...
1:31:20
to tell him that Mitch was gone.
1:31:23
He didn't call me back for two days.
1:31:28
The car, the bank, the insurance man,
the world.
1:31:33
I mean, nobody truly cared.
1:31:39
Not like us.
1:31:44
I always wanted to learn to tap dance...
1:31:46
so I took tap dance lessons.
1:31:48
And I wanted to learn.... Yeah, I did.
1:31:50
And I wanted to learn
to cook organically...
1:31:52
and so I attempted that.
1:31:55
And I fixed the toilet.
1:32:01
Yeah. All by myself.
1:32:04
And I wanted to learn to laugh.
1:32:10
Why couldn't I be funnier
when Mitch was alive?
1:32:13
But you know, I figured it out.
It takes time to be funny...
1:32:17
and it takes time to extract joy from life.
1:32:23
So I enrolled in comedy school.
1:32:28
Yeah, I did. I know, I know.
1:32:31
I was the oldest one in the class.
Thank you.
1:32:35
And we were told to tell a story.
1:32:38
Something true,
something that really happened to us.
1:32:41
So I got up there
and I talked about my husband...
1:32:47
and the love he left behind.
1:32:54
A few days after Mitch died...
1:32:56
I was walking through the yard
and I saw our neighbor...
