SAVE THE DATE!

Know those “Save the Date” reminders? They used to come in the mail. Now they’re likely to be in your e mail “In” box. They’re both optimistic and a kind of slap in the face. How are you to “save the date” when you don’t even know if you’re going to be on earth in six months? Once you reach a certain age, “save thee date” becomes a reprimand, an example of the hamartia, the tragic flaw, inherent in the human condition.  But let’s say it looks like you’re going to make it. Caveat Emptor! Beware the Jacquie Lawson e-mail invite to follow. In this age of Siri and Alexa, why bother to write your own invitation or even obit when it can be done with no hands in cyberspace?
