Please forgive
“Next time CC your dog if you want an audience.”
So said my friend *** ******, regarding my response to an e-mail he sent pertaining to Obamacare.
I e-mailed my response to both *** and another friend.
I usually let political and religious comments go, since I’m a “bleeding-heart liberal” (my sister’s term; she was tub-thumping REPUBLICAN, also now dead - cancer). Many of my friends are CONSERVATIVE.
I don’t wanna lose ‘em as friends — actual friends, not Facebook.
I coulda reacted like The Lone Ranger’s fiery white speed-of-light stallion, rearing up “Hi-yo, Silver, away!” BLAM-BLAM-BLAM!
But I been on this planet almost 73 years, and know such behavior would be unproductive.
I also remembered without ****** my Boughton (“BOW-tin;” as in “wow) Park brochure woulda been a cheap-shot.
My artist-jones was at play = if my name is on it, it’s gonna look good.
We worked together. ******’s ‘pyooter-savvy, and my artist-jones. That brochure still looks pretty good.
My membership on that Park Board is long over, and they’ve since produced another brochure.
Four-color (or whatever) as opposed to mine which was only black ink on yellowish card-stock.
In my humble opinion, our brochure looks better. Where was their artist? It wouldna passed The Keed.
What set me off was to lump other friends who rely on Obamacare with welfare single parents who also get Obamacare for their 89 bazilyun kids.
If Obamacare gets dumped, my friends will lose their healthcare insurance.
Those friends are hardly “welfare single parents,” pigging out on Obamacare. They’re married, and have only one child.
I felt I was reading Limbaugh-lingo slanted toward his audience of angry white honkies.
My friends are what “The Donald” tweets as “losers” like Meryl Streep — perhaps the greatest actress of all time — all because she had the awful temerity and unmitigated gall and horrific audacity to badmouth “Mega-Brain.”
So I copied my friends into my ****** response, thinking they might be interested. Like all e-mail responses, it included ******’s original e-mail.
So ****** is justifiably incensed. My mistake.
Please forgive. I don’t wanna lose ****** as a friend.

A am Always amused by your writing not as in funny but the careful and insightful way you tell your stories... I too have come a long way in my abilities since that brochure .. now that with technology you can produce short run 4-color jobs fairly cheaply without having to shoot 4- plates and a grease up 4 rollers of ink. The printers I deal with now have gorgeous 4-color copiers including varnishes that shine like crystal glass... I email you a couple from this past summer... posters and a complete book I designed for a Vietnam Vet call "100 days and a Wake-up."
