Madge Humphries never admitted
to her age. But she had been married 52 years and she
wasn't a blushing teen when she and Clarence tied the
knot. At her age and after living with the same man
in the same four-room house for over half a century,
she periodically needed some time for herself, like
10:00am to 4:00pm daily. Then, she could be found in
her own corner of the world, surrounded not by walls,
but by a feisty stay-away attitude that dared anyone
to enter her personal zone. There she would sit, read,
crochet, make faces at the dog, and-always-listen to
her Fisher PH-DS80 CD boombox. One of the granddaughters
had given it to Clarence in an attempt to hip him up,
but it failed and Madge took possession. She'd play
her favorite CDs and cassette tapes. Or, when feeling
particularly feisty, turn on the AM/FM-stereo tuner
and scream obscenities at that bleeding-heart liberal
talk show jerk she detested.
Fisher,
happy to help everyone enjoy their little piece of the
world.
