Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Books, Crowds and Comb-overs

I was riding the metro today, furiously trying to finish my book for book club tomorrow. The book is The Shadow of the Wind and I am on page 199 out of 486. Before chuckling "she's screwed" know this - I read very quickly with great comprehension, the book is a fantastic read, and I was only on page 71 yesterday morning so I'm in pretty good shape to finish before tomorrow night as long as Paul doesn't mind me reading some tonight during the Sox game. Moving on. I decided to take the longer ride to work today since I have all the reading to get done. The trains were crowded so I stood near the end of the car in one of the little alcoves so that I would be out of the way of those getting on and off the train. My position gave me an advantageous view of a gentleman across the aisle with one of the most interesting comb-overs I have ever seen. As is typical of most c-os, he had a very low side part. The interesting part was how very thick and pretty his hair was, minus that one small balding spot on the back of his head. The beauty is I would never have looked up from my book had he not grabbed my attention by looking up at me, checking me out, then self-conciously patting his balding spot.

    Who reads a book while the sox's are playing? This act would be comparable to reading a non-religious book while in a house of god and who does that?
