From where I sit... Joe Marsh
Easy Does It—Again!
Ladies Aid Society had their
rnmmage sale the other night—
and as soon as the doors opened,
“Easy” Roberts was inside.
Without a word, he headed
straight for the coat counter,
picked out a shabby old tweed
jacket, and paid for it. “Easy”
told me a little later that buying
his jacket back was getting to
be a regular habit.
“That’s been my favorite
smoking jacket for years,” he
said. “And my wife talks me into
giving it away regularly. Then I
get to thinking how much I like
it and hurry down to buy that
jacket back. This is the third time
I’ve done it!”
From where I sit, everyone’s en-
titled to his own likes—whether
it’s a sports jacket, a baseball
team, or the beverage he likes for
dinner. For example, the wife
likes coffee along with Saturday
night spaghetti while I like a
glass of beer. We never try to
“sell” each other on our personal
preferences.
