Washing Machine Obituary

Well it finally died last week on Friday. My beloved washing machine it was faithful and struggled in the end. My mourning did not last long. Saturday morning I awoke fresh and ready for my new life to begin. As my husband and I drove out to Lee's appliances, a small hole in the wall noted for their deeply discounted scratch and dents. I thought with some guilt about how in the past I would drive by laundromats and see the machines there twirling and spinning at high velocities and lust for them these big steel machines. But I never touched, always coming home to my ever faithful whirlpool. Now I am a May Tag girl. Its quiet and bright white, no drips of detergent or lost socks in this machine. It was delivered Monday morning, and I must say I have giddily washed everything I can find that is washable. What pure joy. So if you have been wondering where I have been, well now you know, with my new washing machine.

Politics and Fido

...a Latin name meaning "I am faithful." As such it is a terrific name for the average protective and loyal family dog. However, it gets its popularity from a celebrity tie-in. Apparently, Abraham Lincoln, a largely self-educated but very erudite man, named his dog Fido. Americans followed suit in droves, putting the dog name Fido firmly in the top 20 names. Lincoln’s choice of Fido for his dog’s name was perfectly logical. Fido is the Latin for faithful, which when dealing with any pet dog is entirely appropriate
