Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for February 08, 2013

Nice try, Broomie.

Good morning, LB. Think that Nor’Easter will affect you?

It’s a wonder she’s allowed at all in any ofthe town’s dinners.

MARG! It’s gonna miss me by going throughMichigan and then East to New England. Doyou remember the great Mid-west blizzard ofJanuary 1978? Don’t want to see another oneof them. What grade was your daughter in then?

There’s cheap, and then there’s Broomie. After 1500 years , she should have accumulated some treasure (probably blew it all on alimony)….

There’s less tea in the bags these days and it’s much finer.

But they are compostable.

I get four mugs of tea from one tea bag. I like it weak and black.

My mother would take a tea bag, dunk it three times into the boiling water and then say “Oh, it’s too strong!”

Sorry,Broomie. Tea bags are one of the original no- deposit no-return containers.
