My Quote ..almost 40 years ago

 I was an unwilling member of a Golf Country Club in New Jersey. My husband wanted to play golf and  starting times were important.  I played with him and occasionally some friends, but never on Tuesdays and Thursdays designated as “ladies golf.” It could be quite competitive and that I wasn’t. I had many varied experiences with different people at the club and came to the conclusion quickly that “class comes from the heart, not the wallet.”

Elevator Observations in NYC

I often wonder what is on the ceiling of the elevator, when people are all looking up at the ceiling, or eyes fixed on the numbers .making sure the elevator is stopping at their floor. Not too much social interaction, so after moving to New York, I didn’t find anything of interest on the ceiling and I did trust the elevator not to get stuck…so my method is this…upon entering, a lovely smile, but no verbal interaction. Saving that for last..Upon leaving a simple “enjoy your day or night” seems to work.

“Maine…The Way Life Ought To Be”….for vegetarians eyes only..

These were the words that always greeted us when we drove to Maine. I love fried clams and eating them gave me the reason to over indulge in tartar sauce. A vegetarian for most of my life, avoiding all animals I could hug or have some sort of ET (film) relationship with. Being in Maine during hunting season, you hear the frightening sounds of guns shooting deer. I envision tee shirts printed with the deer driving pick up trucks and humans strapped on top of the truck with their orange shirts….but still a most beautiful place to vacation with magnificent lake views to behold..and for the many who don’t mind eating lobsters that are boiled alive….and by the way, I also stopped eating clams..
