• Ask Elsie Fae column: “When seeing Dr. Carpenter this week and having decided to examine me, he was fumbling with the buttons on my dress. When I asked if he needed help with the unbuttoning, he said, ‘No, I need the practice.’” “Bemoaning my lack of interest in travel, I was pointing out to my daughter Jane that only 10 years ago I was deeply disappointed because I couldn’t afford to join a group going to India…But today, there is not enough money to pay me to go on such a trek. Her response (having been dragged by her parents all over Africa) was, ‘The only unchartered territory I want to enter is a freshly made bed.’ We have finally found a common ground.”
