Up Up and Away

A blustery day in Seattle. Monica drew the short straw. Get the balloon bouquet. Sure. No problem. Except for the bluster. Picture Monica...holding her hat, skirt dragging in the snow puddles..floating Mary Poppins style up fifteeth barely keeping up with the balloons. Picture Monica. Stuffing balloons into the backseat of silver civic, muddy skirt blowing in the wind. Picture Monica fighting with one balloon after another as they tried to escape their fate. Picture Monica driving silver civic through Capitol Hill with absolutely no rear view mirror capabilities. Monica Buttercup battles balloons. And wins.

Changing the Clock

Monica is not in favor of clock changing. She keeps her mind agile and her friends frustrated. Look at her clocks and know instantly: either add or subtract one hour...or trust the hour. Then add or subtract a range of 10 to 17 minutes. No problem.
