Quick Wit

One of the things I miss most about Curtis is his quick wit.  Sometimes he would say something so fast and funny, one look at his face, and I would know that he didn't even know where it came from. 

A few weeks ago while at Cabelas at the costumer service counter, the cashier next to me was telling her costumer that she had just purchased a leather sewing machine.  As I was thinking she had bought it for sewing patches on leather vests and jackets, something came out of my mouth as quick and unexpectedly to me as my neighbors.

"Did you get it to make your dominatrix outfits?"  My sister in law and the guy next to me burst out laughing, a man in an office behind the counter even poked his head out to see who had made such a comment.  I had to admit I cracked myself up.  How could that have come out of my mouth?  It wasn't even something that I was thinking.  It was just the sort of thing Curtis would have said. 

Is that how he chooses to make his presence known?  Just a friendly reminder to laugh at life when you aren't feeling that jovial?  Thank you Curtis for letting my know you are near and to have a little fun with life.
