Potpourri IV

Last week's NYTimes obituary on Helen Gurley Brown by Margalit Fox included the following "She was 90, though parts of her were considerably younger." Ouch.


We are approaching both political conventions. Conventions contain platforms and platforms contain planks. The Republicans have invited Gov. Christie to be keynote speaker. They may have to reinforce their platforms. It is all a matter of avoirdupois.


Both political parties have opened offices in our neighborhood. The Republicans are on the right side of the street and the Democrats are on the left. Perfectly normal. As the saying goes "East is east and west is west and never the twain shall meet."


Those understated  Canadians! "Canadian police find a human head in an Ontario river. A detective said it was unclear whether there had been a murder, but added "There's definitely something amiss."
