She has always been funny. Now retired in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (What a change from Provo, Utah!), Elouise adds a hint of nostalgia. As always, she captures in a few words the essence of a situation such as what it has been like being a woman then and now. Mostly she finds irony in life's little absurdities. But she also offers an honest, bittersweet reminiscence of her late, reclusive father that may draw readers into their own private reverie. She contrasts quaint, country-ish cafes of bygone days with lackluster chain restaurants. She thinks about how we used to say "Sir" or "Miss" and now opt for the politically correct "Umm." But whether reaching into a past century to "cheer the sublime plums of pioneer Patty Sessions," remembering a magnificent watchdog named Maggie, musing about "sleeping beauties who wake up," or relating her funniest night at the opera, she reminds us of a common humanity: a persistent awkwardness with ourselves and the occasional goodness that we all share. Paperback, Ausgabe: 1, Label: Signature Books, Signature Books, Produktgruppe: Book, Publiziert: 2001-05-15, Studio: Signature Books, Verkaufsrang: 9672958.

contemporary,essays,humor,humor and entertainment,literature and fiction,satire, If people can "power lunch," how about making room in the work day for a "power-nap"? If women receive flowers in church on Mother's Day, should men receive something along the lines of a garden tool on Father's Day? In the tradition of Garrison Keillor, Elouise Bell tackles timely questions in a way that both celebrates and critiques her culture. Delighting readers of network magazine and the Salt Lake Tribune for years, she has compiled for the benefit of readers everywhere twenty-five of her most memorable articles including "Zzzzzuchini"; "Christmyths"; "What Makes Botticelli Blush?" and her most popular essay, "The Meeting," in which gender roles are reversed in an LDS worship service. As charming and light-hearted as these are, there is an implied caveat: anyone who cannot visualize bishops in high heels, house husbands, or a Mormon Democratic caucus should seek their razor-sharp social commentary elsewhere.
