EDITOR'S CORNER


In my years as editor-in-chief I’ve gotten to know a lot about you. You send in great stories, for one! (If you haven’t yet submitted one, why wait?) You’re generous (you’ve donated at least 250 pounds of seeds to our neighbors along the Gulf Coast). You’re creative (our back cover features an entry to our Reader Art Contest). You value family and friendship (our free e-cards are appropriate for anyone you know with kids, not just your own mom and dad, or spouse). You notice what others don’t (especially angels). And—this came as a surprise—you have a soft spot for Elvis Presley (just like me).

The last time I mentioned Elvis here, I’d just turned 40 and gave myself a present: a pink leather motorcycle jacket with "Love Me Tender" embroidered with a red heart on the sleeve. I’ve enjoyed that jacket for enough years to put me closer to 50 than 40. And I’ve enjoyed all the Elvis stuff you shared with me—Elvis buttons that light up, cinnamon Elvis mints, wind-up Elvis with swivel hips, Elvis playing cards, Elvis Uno, Elvis thank-you notes, Elvis ornaments, and (my favorite) a Las Vegas-era Elvis with wings. I’ve also noticed some of your angel collections sport just a touch of Elvis. One featured a bust of the king himself peeking out behind the angel dolls and figurines. It makes perfect sense to me: Elvis’s gospel music and many of his hit songs could bring tears to an angel’s eyes. An Elvis impersonator once had me crying in the Empire State Building on my lunch hour!

So let’s celebrate Everything Elvis. Who has an Elvis story? Do you remember seeing him in concert? Did you fall in love to one of his songs? Do you know all the words to every single one? Have you visited Graceland? Do you know an Elvis impersonator, or have you ever been moved by one? Do you make Elvis angels or teddy bears? You’ll see the best entries in the magazine and on our website. Let’s get "all shook up" over Elvis.
