this morning, a most dismaying poll was revealed in the paper – a whopping 63.7% of readers haven’t been to the abraham lincoln museum.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, PEOPLE?
just the other day, a new friend said she’d never been there. i said WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? she was under the woefully ridiculously wrong impression that the museum was just a “bunch of springfield hype.”
YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
i told her that i’ve lived in many different big cities, i’ve been around, i’ve seen lots of things, and the lincoln museum is ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I’VE SEEN.
i did say it in all caps, too.
but the thing is, i thought she was just some anomaly.
not SIXTY THREE POINT SEVEN PERCENT of the population!
my friend belongs to the fencing club, and kevin and i decided we’re going to have a club field trip to the museum very soon. another woman in the club hasn’t been to the museum either.
i didn’t tell these people they’re IDIOTS for not visiting this fabulous place that’s right downtown, because i feel that may make them resentful. instead, we’ll gently lead them in the doors so they can see for themselves just what idiots they were for not going sooner.
at least the fact that people haven’t been to the museum can be fixed. i’ll be happy to give each and every 63.7% person a tour of the place, problem solved. the rest of the issues in the world, and by the rest i guess i just mean the war in iraq, i can do nothing about except read all the editorials and get more mad at the true idiocy of the president.
but like i said, i can’t fix that huge and terrible travesty. so instead i’ll be taking people to the museum.
have a good wednesday.
ok then,
grace
