Making goulash
we don’t talk much,
Daddy and me.

“The talking’s in the making, son,”
he smiles.
I see what he means.

It’s in the knife
meeting the beef,

in the dancing of potatoes
as they turn in the water,
in the singing
of boiling soup in the pot.

There are enough words
in the way
Daddy teaches me his famous dish
and the way he hugs me
when we finish.

Making goulash
we don’t talk much,
Daddy and me,

but everything is said.

Below is part of a new shopping center’s market report.

Our busiest time is weekend afternoons, between 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. About half the business of the week is done then. So it would be better if we move Weekend’s Best Buy from Saturday evening to Saturday afternoon when there may be more shoppers during the sale. We should also think about having more free buses during the weekend, as 75% of the shoppers who were interviewed said two buses an hour are just not enough.

Weekend evenings are second busiest, though it is not as good as last season. An interesting fact is that business is better on weekday evenings, usually one hour before closing, than on weekend mornings. Most of the shoppers then are people who live near or working parents who do their last-minute shopping. They together make up almost 60% of the business on weekday evenings. It might bring in more business if we open half an hour longer during weekdays, until 10:30 p.m.

Dear Maggie,

I know you won’t be happy but I still have to say this again. It hurts me to think that you’re going to 36 . I know you’ve always wanted to be like those actresses with big eyes and slim legs, but in fact you are already beautiful. What you are born with makes you special because nobody looks the same as you.

It worries me more that 37 . But sadly, there’s no quick fix to this, not even with the doctor’s help. If you don’t try to like yourself first, no one else will. People like you not because of your face, but because of your heart. You need to understand this first. Until you understand this, nothing is going to be different even if you have this change.

I truly hope you think this through again.

Love,
Linda
