"Women are angels, wooing." (Troilus & Cressida)

I've received a number of comments about yesterday's blog in praise of women. My #1 son claimed that Montagu chose a girl's name not realizing that Ashley was the true love of Scarlett in GWTW and that it is a boy's name. I checked it out on Google. And if you really think about it, women work much harder than men do throughout their lives. They bear the children, they raise the children, they diaper the children, they drive the children to soccer games, they read to the children, they do the shopping, they do the cooking, they do the laundry and the folding, they make the beds, they wash the dishes, and if they're not Jewish, they do the cleaning. Because of this, God has arranged for women to have sex on their backs so they can get a little rest.

Today, I was blessed by attending a City of Hope "Canister" luncheon. I have no idea why it has that name. I saw no canisters there at the posh Boca West Clubhouse. So I put my quarter back into my pocket. I had no breakfast this morning so I was looking forward to lunch; however, on my plate was a scoop of salmon salad inside of one tomato and a scoop of chicken salad peeking out of another tomato. I suppose no one told the chef that I don't eat either of those things, so I munched on a roll and butter and a cup of coffee. However, it's the first time in my life that I had a dessert of ice cream after an entree of a roll and butter. Since this was a COH luncheon, the President, RH+ made a short speech about how the COH is helping children with cancer. I was impressed by the entrance to Boca West and the lush greenery all around it. The Clubhouse was in the grand style and just the whole aura was indicative of how the well off segment of our society lives in retirement. Save your money.
