Life, Love & Sex in the Suburbs
LOL :) a reader left a link to your blog on mine from MY version of this Chowwenge--a perfectly tasteful cartoon ;) http://ivcaffeine.com/2009/03/26/taking-today-off-because-of-the-flu-bb-next-week/ good hunting!
Hi Minivangal -- It's midnight and I just saw your post on my blog. We lived in Boston, Mass. for decades and I worked for the Clairol company in Stamford, CT for almost ten years. Now we're resettled in Portland, Oregon. I loved your letter... kudos for the links, too. Just one thing: It still pains me that Barbara Walters' minor lazy-L speech impediment is still brought up REGULARLY in discussions. She will live in infamy as Baba Wawa. What was she called on SNL? Oddly enough, Tom Brokaw had a long and distinguished news anchor career at NBC with a MUCH WORSE lazy-L problem. But, of course, he was a man. It was hardly ever mentioned, even by his detractors. Barbara is the epitome of a tough broad -- a woman with brass knuckles in a velvet glove. Our careers have run somewhat parallel, as I worked for the "Tonight" show unit during some of the same years she was with the "Today" show. She grew up in Boston and moved to Miami; I grew up in Miami and moved to Boston, etc. Thanks again, Ellen Kimball also known as: Radio_Lady(Put either name into Google and you'll learn probably more than you would ever want to know about me.)
