Well, she married a man named Gummer. And Mamie was probably her mother's name or something.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Are there no men? Maybe George Clooney.
Walter Cronkite and Johnny Carson fit the bill when alive.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My only problem with Meryl is that she has a daughter named Mamie Gummer.
Yeah, that's an issue. Let's hope there's a common family nickname that rings better.

Definitely. Though, to me, Carson is somewhat dimmed when compared to Jon Stewart. Stewart's both funnier and has some of Cronkite's moral authority.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know, I know. It's just so unfortunate. I mean, to the extent that maybe it comes around the other side and is awesome again, but maybe not.

Heh. Mamie Gummer's real name is Mary, and Mamie IS the family nickname. Her siblings are Henry, Grace, and Louisa. All tasteful choices.

AND, Mamie IS named after Meryl's mother, Mary Willa. And Meryl's real name is Mary Louise.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tom Hanks? People might not love all of his acting, but they certainly love HIM. Bruce Sprinsgteen? Paul McCartney?

OK, then all is forgiven. I love you, Meryl!!

That's why I though Mamie was so odd, in this day and age.

Clooney probably could do something to turn public opinion against him, but I have it on good authority from my grandmother that he's a lovely boy and comes from good people. (He's a Cincy local, so she knows.)
