There were a few magazines I didn’t work for that could have made my eggs behave. One of them was Good Housekeeping. I didn’t even know what that meant. Maybe how to keep a house? My own housekeeping occurred slightly more often than meteor strikes. With intense concentration, I could wash the floor. I could, but I didn’t tend to. I pushed a broom once for a job at a ranch in Wyoming. Not for one month or one year. No, once. Then I peeled and sliced potatoes three times a day and was pretty good at that.
Wow! Judith’s account of her work experiences that summer is so realistic that I can just picture the pickup truck/post office event. Her ability to riff off controlling eggs and broom pushing to being in San Francisco during the “Summer Of Love” is amazing. Her depiction of herself wandering through
San Francisco’s parks in a sober state, yet being slightly bewitched, is stunning. An added fillip is her use of the word “Yankee” to link her ranch employment with her sojourn in San Francisco through that word, which really helps crystallize the reader’s sense of her personality. I always look forward to enjoying Judith’s
Thank you always.

Thank you so much. I am honored by your words.
Another snippet of life that I barely recall you mentioning. Great stuff!
