In one of her Facebook photos there are several empty beer bottles on the desk in front of her, and the first thing I thought was, "Well! Isn't she a little young to be drinking beer!?" And then I remembered (a) she is now a couple of years older than I was in the above photo, and (b) there is a glass of beer in front of me in the above photo. And trust me, that wasn't the only beer I am likely to have consumed that day. Hey, we were on vacation, alright? In Denmark. Of course there was beer.
Today I went for a nice long walk through Golden Gate Park down to the ocean, and just as I turned around there was this guy walking his dog heading in the same direction and walking pretty fast. I pulled out ahead of him, but 1/4 mile or more later I realized he was still right on my heels. I started getting upset. I mean, he was just out walking a dog, not decked out all race-walkerish or anything. Did I really suck that much, that a guy out for a stroll WEARING REGULAR PANTS FOR CHRISSAKE could easily keep pace with me?
Then a while later he actually passed me, giving me the chance to realize that he was one of those guys who is like 6'5" tall and three quarters of it is legs. That made me feel a little better, but I was still irritated. Then he turned around and started talking to me.
Guy: I was getting worried there.
Me: About what?
Guy: I thought you were going to be the first person I'd ever met in my life who could outwalk me.

One of a trio of sisters I used to babysit for added me as a friend on Facebook, and also just had twins. And the worst part is I'm not even sure which sister she is. Well, that's not the worst part. I don't really care which sister she is. The worst part is that a kid whose snotty nose I used to wipe just had fucking twins.
I always say that kids make you realize just how fast time flies!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love meeting new bloggers!
