The Smile

A trip to the antique mall for a follow-up from yesterday's vinyl records dig and huge eight-record haul. Afterwards I briefly walked through the art gallery next door where a beautiful lady looked at me as I passed by and with a huge smile, she said hello. Yes!! To me!! Really!! No stretching of the truth or anything.

A few resulting thoughts ....

  •  I wish I knew how to respond on the rare occasions where that happens. Like, how do I reply to hello combined with a smile? 😀 It's not like I've ever known. 
  • And how was I supposed to impress her anyway being a little more than halfway to seventy-one years old and feeling all dirty and sweaty after coming directly from an active day at work. Not to mention the sweaty nature of vinyl record bin digging and unearthing a couple gems.
  • Because I concluded that maybe she too is a vinyl geek and was actually smiling at the sight of the unbagged jazz vinyl finds in my arms .... which that would be perfectly fine with me if I was liked for my vinyl choices over my rough physical appearance.
  • And because of this brief encounter and feeling good about myself for a few moments, once home I gave myself a spritz or two of Ralph Lauren Polo cologne.
