Sometimes when I am sitting heresabout and thinking about what I can say about a particular person or photograph, I make a little resolution to myself to only say nice things, or at least moderately nice things that don’t really come at an issue too hard. I’m not the helmet police, I just like lids. And I try not to hear Alice Roosevelt Longworth patting the seat beside her saying,
- “If you haven’t got anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me.”
So, let’s just leave it at: I like you better with your helmet on.
