For Your Consideration
Woman in the Middle | August 9, 2014I have lived in inland So Cal my whole life. As I have pointed out to you before, inland So Cal and the coast, Los Angeles, Hollywood, and Orange County are not the same thing. Really not the same thing. But we do venture forth, as we have recenly, to iconic places such as Disneyland and the Hollywood Bowl, that are easy (sort of) to get to for us but may seem to be mysterious and magical places to people who aren’t from around here.
Even wth those places close by, me and mine live a pretty normal life in the Inland Empire (as my area is referred to). And then something weird happens and it reminds me I live in a place that is just a bit outside the box, if only because we live so close to Los Angeles. A recent morning was one of those times. I staggered outside at 7:08 a.m., which is way too early for a Sunday but my wake up time is dictated by a certain dog, who pays no never mind as to whether is it a weekend or not when she wants to get up. After I let her out I went out to the driveway to pick up the Sunday newspapers. We get two that day: Our regular local daily paper and the Sunday Los Angeles Times. Blaring up at me though the plastic that encased the Times were these words: “For Your Consideration for Emmy Nomination.”
I may be wrong, but I do not think the folks in Kansas or Ohio or Mississippi or Maine were greeted by those words that morning. (Let me know if I am wrong on that)
Nope! Not in Pennsylvania
Not here in Georgia either!
I had to read this a couple of times as I couldn’t get it but after reading a few times I got it……..
So sorry about that. That was me stuffing too many words and ideas into too few sentances. My Hubby brings that to my attention on occasion.
