A Spot for a Lady
 

 
It's a pleasure to share one's memories. Everything remembered is dear, endearing, touching, precious. At least the past is safe - though we didn't know it at the time. We know it now. Because it's in the past; because we have survived. ~Susan Sontag

Some people have to watch out for the foot that lives in their mouth.

Background: My husband lost his brother, William, in the World Trade Center attack on September 11. William is survived by two brothers and one sister, Silvia.

True story: Did not happen to me, but to my sister-in-law, Silvia, in Florida....

Silvia was at the beauty parlor she owns with her sister-in-law and was talking about how she was against the United States going to war with Iraq. There was this lady who was worshiping Bush and commenting on how she was all for the war because of the fight against terrorism. The lady was quite upset with Silvia and said, “Well, you’d be singing a different tune if you had lost someone at the World Trade Center on 9/11!”

Well, now.......

“Fools are wise until they speak.”
