Couldn’t Be Better With Less

We got an email from Vicki Todd in Lincoln, Nebraska, who said that her grandfather was a Missouri cattleman who had a few phrases that he would say if he was asked how he was doing.

But one of the most puzzling was that somebody would say to him, how are you doing? And he would say, couldn’t be better with less in all my life.

I’m trying to work that out myself. Couldn’t be better with less.

So it sounds like he’s got just what he needs, but if he had less, he wouldn’t be doing as well.

Yeah. She said that he grew up in the Depression, so that may have something to do with it.

Oh, the Depression. Boy, that was a time of creativity, right?

Yes. May do. Yes.

Well, we couldn’t be better than if you sent us an email and told us your thoughts and your ideas and your stories.

We’d love hearing from you, no matter where you are in the world.

That email is words@waywordradio.org.
