For some reason, I have been thinking often about Damon Runyon today, and what a shame it is that his short stories have fallen out of favor. He chronicled the "Roaring 20s" and Thirties: Guys and Dolls, The LemonDrop Kid (with Bob Hope), and I'm sure one or two other stage plays or films were derived from his work.

Runyon used to call "women of a certain age" (as the French call us) -- <font color="purple"> old dolls.</font> I think I like that better than being an old broad. Just a thought.
