Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my snappy snow sculptures! How are you? Faring better than the sculptures downtown, I hope. These brief flirtations with warmer weather are doing a number on the creations in Monument Square. Saturday was perfect for the event, though. You just take what you get weather-wise when winter rolls in around here. It’s like a rollercoaster ride that you never wanted to get on. You just hang on and pray until it’s over.

As I duly noted last week, the season is over for our hapless Green Bay Packers. These words are just an echo of that catastrophe.

I’m sorry, my dears, but my winter funk persists. I don’t think it’s just the weather. It’s the constant bombardment of bad news from around the world that does it. When it’s nice outside, I can get away from the litany of the negative for awhile. As the weather worsens, I stay inside more. I can astral project to escape, but that takes an extraordinary amount of energy. It’s not for daily use. One of the things that has helped me is searching for the positive on the internet. For instance, I went to YouTube and typed in “happy” into their search engine. Below is one of the videos that came up.



I will admit that watching Mick wiggle his tight buns still makes me happy. You’ve still got it, baby! You and that magic tongue of yours.

Oh my, did I say that? I meant to say that I love all of my readers and I thank you for reading my blog this week. Without you, I would be nothing, like a figment of someone’s imagination. My visits with you are the high point of my week. You are my family.

Watch out for the changeable weather, my dears. Sunny, dry, cloudy, rainy, snowy, sometimes all in one day. Keep your hat on and your zippers zipped. You never know what the day is going to throw at you. That’s my job. Kia ora!

Mme Z...I always keep my zipper zipped, and my mouth shut too.

Whew, that sentence scared me...I was afraid to finish reading it.

Madame, it is okay to let your "chains be swung." It is normal and natural... let's leave it at that. As for zippers being forever shut, um, mother nature needs to make her call, no?

You are our family as well. It wouldn't be Wednesday, and all would not be right in the world, without knowing you were watching over our irregular bunch. Thank you for your continued service to the JTI.

Of course you may unzip for "the necessities," my dears. Unless you're wearing Depends.

Thank you all for all the love. Right back at you!

Always great to hear the Stones play...especially "Happy" from the Exile on Main Street album. Great choice of music there Madam Z!

I wonder what that butt wiggling is worth? I mean, take all the money that Jagger has made as a Rolling Stone and divide it by the number of times he's wiggled his butt in performance or recording. That would give you the value of a single Jagger butt wiggle. I think each wiggle would be worth thousands of dollars, if not more.
