I never know where or when a great essay topic will strike.
I make sure to keep a journal and lighted pen next to my bed – “just in case”. Yet
another inspiration for an essay came to me via The Writer’s Almanac. Are you familiar with this website? Each day
there is a poem and several little nutshell essays on notable birthdays and
happenings for that date. There is also often a quote from the birthday boy or
girl. The quote for January 20th was from George Burns: "Too bad
that all the people that know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs
and cutting hair."
How true that is! I have to do an LOL here. I can picture myself and three
gal pals – the Brit Chick, the Southern Chick, the Fat Chick (that would be
me!) and our little Chiclet - doing our thing in the pool at six o’clock in the
morning, water walking and talking, exercising our jaws as we solved the
problems of the world. If only they
would listen to us!
Right? Of course right!
You're too funny Laura Lee! But, please tell me you're not serious about the 6 am part. It doesn't matter how old I get, I'm not getting up at 6 am unless the house is on fire.
