So far so good

Unsolicited testimonial from the well put together gal at the cafe:

"You smell great!"

"Oh...thanks."

"And I love the way you mixed stripes and polka dots!"

"What can I say, I'm just a fashion rebel."

"It's working!"

Where was this when I was young and single?
Oh, right...when I was young and single I dressed like a transient and stunk like a goat.


First thing at work a lovely French lady pushing a stroller asked one of those deadly questions, only slightly improved by her darling broken English:

"I don't, um, know the title. Or the author, but, ah, it is for children? It is about, uh, what you do with things? Like petting a dog?"

My weird psychic book sense kicked in and I nailed it in one-

"A Hole is to Dig, by Ruth Krauss and Maurice Sendak."

"YES! Yes! That is it!"


Plus there are lots of weird old pictures I scanned for Flickr.
ENJOY.
