(1994 January)
I turned the light on beside my bed and POP the bulb burned out. What to do? In the dark I felt for my call bell on top of my blanket and pressed the button. Soon came the maid, who turned on the overhead. The maintenance man had left a bulb here in case I needed it, at my suggestion, and soon all was in order - a tempest in a teapot.

A little French
(1975 May 24)
I am enjoying reading a little French every day and usually translate after I go to bed. Often I just get the idea and let it go at that. Often I go for the literal. Sometimes the differences between what I thot it was and what it turned out to be after looking up the words is hilarious! Now I am on Daphne & Chole. The book is falling apart, and I feel I should be using an older copy. Mine is special.
