Fed Up
Why, oh why can't I just deal with decent, beautiful people like Edison, CJ, Scottie, and Martin? It seems the moment I leave The Palace my sensibilities are assaulted. By whom? The peasants, of course. They are always revolting.
I was making my way across Lincoln Road home last night and a gnarly woman asked if I could help her with bus fare; I must have been weak, because I reached in my pearled purse and pulled out a dollar to give her. But, no, she needed $3.50 to take the bus to Palm Beach. Palm Beach!
This is where my stockings were soiled because I had to thrash her with my walking stick. I am so sick of the "I must get back to Palm Beach" story. One, they don't allow peasants on Palm Beach, and, Two, why not just say "I need $22.50 to get to my trailer park in Volusia Springs."
I had a lovely chat with The 7th last night. The main topic of conversation was How Do We Slaughter More Peasants and New Hats. The first item in on their shoulders; I refuse to soil any more stockings. The second item on the agenda on up to me. I strongly suggested the adapting of the Italian Fascist Calvary hats with the black ostrich feathers. Truthfully, who wasn't in awe of The Italian Calvary? Fashionably daring and so practical. The 7th adored the idea and I will donate another strand of pearls to the effort.
Someone has to stand up for order.

Uncle Alexis,
When is your phone being fixed? B&T Mark told me it got "Wet" somewhere and has yet to be seen ever since. I want to talk and make sure you are doing okay!!!
Love Always,
Nephew Jesse :)
Douglas is doing two things for me tomorrow: giving me a Palace phone and arrranging for me to have a day off. I can't wait. I will let you know the number as soon as I get it. (It got "wet" in one of those nast tropical storms of last week.)
AKH, I love you, too, and your brillance in writing and depth of spirit. It is truly uplifting.
OMG. Big daddy-alexis:
I, as always, am glad the russians weren't knocking on your backdoor. I hate it when they do that. As my high school AP US history teacher once told us, "Hitler was never comfortable with Stalin in his rear." I swear to god. Love!
Fabulous, Ed; how did you keep from running out of class hysterically laughing.
