Don't cry for me, AL-DA-KA ... or is that Argentina? Since you are an accomplished, indeed talented, wordsmith, your use of a word with multiple meanings demanded acknowledgement. My own limited lexical resources prevented a more profound ... even accurate ... response.
Since I'm confessing, I'll add that I don't know who Betty Page or Jo Heffernan are. At first I thought you meant Betty Boop. I knew of an Ann Page once ... but she was a shill for an old-time grocery chain. Googling is cool, but I haven't seen (or even heard of) Barney in years.
Enough of this silly digression
You've been through a minor recession
I'll get on my toes
and lighten my prose
Or you'll suffer a major depression
