Can We Talk...



Good morning.

I once gave my younger son an expensive, designer-type shirt for Christmas and he went to the store the very next day and exchanged it for four perfectly good shirts with not a logo to be found. This was a life-changing event for me. The stuff in my closet now comes with a size tag that I promptly rip out and a label that sounds more like a grocery item. My shoes are few in number and more practical than stylish. I usually go barefoot, even to fetch the mail unless it’s snowing, and I recommend it, particularly with

toes painted any color you want.

If you’re a male sort of person, I’d skip the toes, but male or female, please put on your one pair of tennies and mow the old lady's lawn next door. She will give you a nice cold beer, show you the potholders she made at the senior center, and all will be well. If I am the old gal, I will give you the beer but instead of the potholders, I will show you the painting of two nudes I have hanging in my stairwell.

You decide: potholders or nudes.

I’m terribly worried about the country because everyone is madder than a wet hen about one thing or another. People are so riled up that I’m determined to look at a variety of everyday situations with what I’ve been told is a somewhat wry sense of humor. This is what I hope to bring to your day, and only one thought here for openers: if you hate your job, please find other

employment even if you make less money and have to live in a smaller house, drive a ten-year-old car, and wear clothes with labels nobody has ever heard of. At the end of the day the only label that really matters is your name.

My name is Elisabeth, spelled with an s rather than a z. The people who spell it with a z are the British; everyone else in Europe uses an s. I would say about half the people who write my name misspell it. This is because we fought the Brits a long time ago but we still like them and the queen spells her name with a z. I glance now at my electric and cell phone bills, both of which are addressed with Her Majesty’s spelling, and I believe I will forward them to her.

Best regards,

Elisabeth
