Who won the cookies?



I won Amherst Bulletin columnist Phyllis Lehrer's annual postcard contest for having been the one whose card was sent from the farthest point from the place we don't pronounce the "h." My wonderful trip to Thailand this summer just keeps giving. Here I am with my prized cookies -- seven different kinds -- in front of Town Hall. (You can see my "going gray" hair is really going.)

The day has gone gray too, but it was 66 degrees earlier, as noted on the Amherst Cinema marquee.


An excellent day to eat cookies and read the last batch of papers from journalism class. The semester wraps up next week. And thank God the primary election for U.S. senator to succeed the great Ted Kennedy finally transpires on Tuesday. NEVER have I received so many automated calls -- from the Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano and Celtics owner Steve Pagliuca campaigns. Enough already!!! I'm tempted not to vote at all in protest.

  1. You will always be beautiful to me. Gray hair turns to white hair. You're my Lois Lane, Mary!

  2. Hi Mary,
    Yummy sweets. Enjoy!
    Hope you are not feeling"blue" about going gray. I once read that every gray hair is like a badge of honor.

  4. Phyllis is a good cookie baker, no doubt about it. Jonathan and Momma, I am not to thrilled about going grey and I seem to spend a lot of time thinking about it.
