Cranial therapy.

Dating is a euphemism.

Email and the green blind. (I wrote this one.)

Forceps and ether and Queen Victoria. Do you know she disapproved of these improvements for women in labour. She thought if it didn’t hurt as much. iit woutld just encourage them to have more babies. Social commentary?

The opposable thumb.

Refrigerators: The famiiy bulletin board, magnets, light readiing, games and puzzles and poetry, shopping lists, contents.

I had a friend whose little girl, my first daughter’s age, learned to read from her family’s refrrigerator. It was an ADMIRAL, the name boldly spelled out in large oapital letters on the door. A is for Admiral. That’s when i learned that refrigerators were required reading for three-year-olds.

Country Western songs. Clichés make the best lyrics. I bought a book of clichés to study them.

Movie quotations. Lots of collections of these. Our modern folklore. Aesop’s Fables. (Think of the princess and the pee; the boy who cried wolf.) Very educational. Not like the movies but memorable.

“Is this heaven? No, it’s Kansas.

“You had me at hello.”

“Show me the money.”

“We’ll always have Paris.”

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn”

“After all, tomorrow is another day...”

I wrote a general blog about the files in my current folders and lost it.

Not to be so wordy, cut to the chase.

I’ve found so many columns of advice (some of them by me) and so many solutions to my problems that I could start life over and never make the same move twice. Who would I be then?

Of course I‘ve goofed a lot and I have to live with my errors or/and try to eliminate or correcf them. But there have been some good chioces, too, and I have survived, I mean, I’m still here. One should never be too comfortable or self-satisfied.

Don’t quit while you’re ahead. I’m not quitting, exactly, but I’m slowing down a lot.

This is taking too long—all preamble, not telling you anything you don’t know.

It’s almost three o’clock in the morning.

I’m going back to bed.
