Power never takes two weeks off. Power takes long weekends.

... in this impersonal world of the nine-digit zip code, credit cards, and numbered bank accounts, in this world of no marriage, late marriage, and remarriage, the operative word in office relationships is 'family.

A letter is never ill-timed; it never interrupts. Instead it waits for us to find the opportune minute, the quiet moment to savor the message. There is an element of timelessness about letter writing.

Letters remind us that when we write we can bring back the best of times, even make time stand still, if only for a few minutes.

Love is a great glue, but there is no cement like mutual hate.

Power never takes two weeks off. Power takes long weekends.

So, if you have a grandma, thank the good Lord above, and give your grandmamma hugs and kisses, for grandmothers are to love.
