The wife managed to drag me from the house kicking and screaming this afternoon. Here are some random notes from our travels:
- While driving through our town square a group of people were attempting to sell us (and everyone else in town) some donuts. They get right up to your window and stare at you to make you feel bad if you do not donate to their random charity or club. Of course I rambled on thusly (is that really a word?):
me: “Maybe I should grab one of their donuts and put it on my weiner and scream ‘hey eat this donut’.”
The School Girl: “How about not doing that.”
Fair enough.
- We made a stop at the local Goodwill Store to find that there was nothing of interest to be purchased. Also, it was apparent that someone had replaced their previous stacks of LPs with my mother’s record collection (Linda Ronstadt, Barbra Streisand, Christopher Cross).
- The local dirt mall antique dealer hasn’t gotten any cleaner since we first visited them 4 years ago. Now I remember why we never went back.
- We visited the local $1 store where I managed to find a copy of a book by the late, great Red Auerbach. Please notice the signs before asking aloud about how much these things cost. See photo below (and thousands of other places around the store) for the answer. My wife’s eye rolls are not included in this price.
- Hunger struck me but the plan was to buy groceries next. This is never a good idea so we walked next door to the local oriental food establishment. I received the following fortune in my cookie:
Initially this sounds great until you analyze it a bit further. In order to receive an inheritance someone must die! Yikes, I got some bad news in my fortune cookie today.
- I almost slapped the crap out of a young lady who managed on three separate occassions to just HAVE to be in the same area of the music department that we were in. Everytime I turned around she was waiting impatiently and sighing.
- The new Lenny Kravitz CD rocks. Lenny is bringing sexy? rock ‘n’ roll back! If you don’t believe me then take a listen to this new track (with amazing old school guitar solo @ the 2 minute mark) called “Bring It On“:
That is all for now, thanks for playing along.
