Monday Notes

• So I've been challenged to a game of HORSE by a Facebook friend who I've previously only exchanged greetings with twice in the local record store. Now I'm fighting all my inner leanings of continuing down the path towards authentic hermit status. I'm well aware that according to the experts, for my general good health sake, I need to develop new friendships. But that's a scary thing for me. What if he's better at HORSE than me? What if he wants to put some money on the line? What if he wants to get a beer afterwards?
• Oregon weather in early March ...... One day it's snowing, then two days later, sunny with temperatures in the mid-60's followed by a downpour of rain with wind the next.
• Who knew that there was a webpage where you could find out where the Girl Scouts were selling their cookies locally on a specific day and time. It doesn't much matter though if they are sold out at each visited site of the mint cookies. I've been walking around for three days with ten dollars in my pocket, designated for just that treat.
• Still waiting (hopefully) for someone to question my honesty and request that I provide identification when I attempt to obtain discounts by declaring senior status. Maybe it's not going to happen. I ran into an ex co-worker this weekend who told me that my hair is "turning all fu&%ing gray." And he was never thought of as the observant type.
• I don't consider myself a snob or prude but is it too much to ask that people tone down the trashy appearance and behavior when out in public? I see way too much of it. I prefer dignity.
