I don't read often, sounds bad but true, and I know I'm not alone. When I was a kid, my Mom told me about Stiller and Meara. We were watching TV and the comedy team popped up on a talk show or variety show, could possibly have been Mike Douglas or something - anyway, Mom was Irish Catholic, herself, and was two years younger than Anne Meara. Mom said, "Stiller and Meara, they're a married couple and a comedy team. He's Jewish and she's Irish-Catholic." Mom said this with a smile. I could tell by her smile that she liked these two. They were from her generation and I could tell she appreciated their wit and ways, and the fact that they worked together - successfully and seemed to be "in-like" with each other. I think all of us can really appreciate a couple who really like each other. I'm all over the place, so much to say. If I had to limit my feelings about this story to one thought, it would be that all things boil down to what we remember about our Mothers. Reading this wonderful mini-memoir, I loved how Ms. Meara put her true feelings into this writing and how she would, if she could, go back in time and visit her Mom.
