LOVE IS IN THE AIR

How wonderful to find yourself in love and feel all those exciting emotions. I think holding hands or an arm around the waist or shoulder is fine when in public and perhaps a quick kiss. Not too long ago I was at a park with my grandson and on one of the park benches a couple in love was making out hot and heavily. Please save these strong shows of affection for a place that is more private as it is uncomfortable for those that are around you. Not to mention that one can get splinters from wooden benches.

THERE IS A TIME AND PLACE FOR EVERYTHING!

THEATER MANNERS

Do you remember a time when we did not have to be told not to take pictures or record a live performance? Yes that was years ago and of course there were no cell phones at that time, which are now part of the announcement at theaters. We certainly do not want to go back to the past but let’s carry to the future some of the etiquette that so graced our lives.

Bravo to good manners!

NOISY RESTAURANT

WE are in a world of noise. Wouldn’t it be lovely to be in a quiet restaurant for dinner? These places are hard to find. It seems everyone wants to be surrounded by loud music so that they do not have to communicate. Oh give me a quite place where I can enjoy conversation with good friends.

No small talk for me!
