Today is your day Boomer! I don't want to remember him as an overweight, grey-haired, washed-up, former-addict actor. I want to remember him as he looked in this picture....youthful, smiling, curious, innovative, and filled with humour as he interacted with his "Friends" on TV for 10 years. Matthew Perry died this week at the tender age of 54, a victim of drowning in his hot tub. His show, many Boomers would say, was the best comedy of all time....running from 1994-2004 and winning best-comedy Emmy award in 2002. It was one of those oh-so-funny, dramatic comedies(like Happy Days) that you wouldn't dare miss every week. Even now, when skimming through channels, it is hard not to stop and watch re-runs. His character, Chandler Bing, was unforgetable and one that Perry says was much like his real every-day self! He was quirky, affable, loyal, and kind of ignorant at times...but always lovable! His romantic scenes with Monica were especially riveting. Yes, Boomers, we will very much miss Matthew Perry...but his memory will live on forever on our screens. His is an exceptional legacy.
