An old relic

Ah. my chickens have come home to roost. I’ve been posting old pictures of people and letters about them and from them and stuff I didn’t even know – like Sherman’s first marriage. As I was typing about the snow and the driveway “stuckings”, Der Bingle found something on the floor under the dining room table. I had put away some tablecloths earlier this week. No, I am not fancy, but I get great tablecloths at Church Rummage Sales – some from the 40″s and 5o’s, some with embroidery.

I don’t know where the corner is of this article – somewhere gone with the dust to dust thing, no doubt.

I also don’t know what the adjective was in front of afterglow – a word that starts with “g”. But I am so betting it was golden because I was probably racing a deadline. Or could it have been glowing?

That reminds me. Once an editor remarked, “This needs an ending sentence. You know, the ones you do that sound so good and mean absolutely nothing.”

  1. I am just in awe that you used a colon in a sentence correctly. I would be totally flabbergasted if it had been a semi-colon, but a colon in a sentence. Unheard of these days.

    Wait, is that a sign of age?

  2. Was your column always above the fold? I so miss the old newspapers and columns like yours. I guess that’s why I enjoy your blog so much.
    1991 seems like yesterday to me, so I don’t think the newspaper corner has turned to dust yet. Maybe someone needed a bookmark and it’s hidden within a book somewhere.
    Over here in Auburn we got 5 more inches of snow yesterday. DH had to plow again and he dislikes the cold so. It takes him hours to get warm again.
