Corsages

While I’m on the subject of flowers, about a million years ago I used to give my prom dates corsages of purple and white heather with pink miniature rosebuds. I wonder if it meant anything to them.

    I would like to be serious for a moment. I called on clients in Boston for years. Probably been there 50 times. Probably been on the corner of the bomb 25 times. This is personal. Pretty much like 9/11 when we lived in NY metro and I called my wife on the way into the city, with infant daughter, to say “turn around and go home.”

    I dont know who did this. I think President Obama and local authorities are doing all the appropriate things. We live in a dangerous world. Be thankful you or your loved ones were not there. And go safely and with eyes wide open.

    Dave,

    Women remember flowers. Trust me on this one. My first boyfriend asked his Mom to use her car to take me to a high school dance. She refused. And, he had to take the old truck, instead. So, he decorated the cab of the truck with wild flowers — it was like a Rose Bowl float inside. I was so impressed, and often think of it with warmth to this day!

    Drew,

    Over-the-moon tragedies like what happened in Boston, are a reminder of the fragility of time — there are simply no guarantees to how long any of us will be here.
