Me neither.

Things That Are Orange

Terrible Tee Shirts

Did horrible tee-shirt slogans come back into fashion while I wasn't looking? In the last 24 hours I've seen:

• This is What Awesome Looks Like
• Volunteer Gynecologist

and

• The Man (arrow pointed up); The Legend (arrow pointed down)

Really, fellas? Is this what the world has come to?

Things That I Cannot Explain

Well Good Morning to You Too

At about 5:45, I awoke to the sound of a spirited conversation that the occupants of these cars were having while parked in front of my house. Please note, that my street is one lane, and one way (hint - not in the direction they're facing). Good times.

As I'm waiting for POTUS, I am remembering where I was on September 11, 2001 - in Cambridge, MA, only 10 or so blocks from where I am now. And after a day of watching the news, tracking down relatives, and in general feeling disillusioned about everything I ever knew, buying a pack of cigarettes after having quit for a million years or so, and smoking them on a corner in Inman Square with the man I later married and a homeless guy, wondering what had happened to the world.

Not sure how I even know how to feel at the moment, but for now I wait with all y'all...
