Last week I kept thinking: I want some Estee Lauder foundation with sun block. But I didn’t want to go to Macy’s in Waterford to get it.
It kept recurring. Finally I picked up the phone and called the beautician who’d left a message on my phone. In five minutes it was all settled, both of us pleased and exchanging heartfelt good byes. She’d send me what I wanted.
How simple! I didn’t need to telegraph or call up Alexander Graham Bell and ask him how my telephone worked. I didn’t need to fill out reams of forms and deal with a crabby person behind an iron grille who’d leave for lunch in the middle of our negotiations.
I can sit here and the UPS man will deliver a package of delights on my doorstep. It’s Estee Lauder free gift time. Whoopee!
