I have two items of business to discuss, ladies and gentlemen.
1. You know how everyone in Utah right now is all, “It’s like we’re living in Seattle!” because of the weather? Well, I have a theory about this.
I hypothesise that, a month or two ago, while we were all asleep, a large comet hit the earth and knocked it off balance a little. It shifted the earth’s position a few hundred miles, and gave us a temperate, humid climate.
Guys, we ARE in Seattle.
I’m a little surprised that none of the TV meteorologists have mentioned this possibility. Although maybe they have. I wouldn’t really know, I don’t have a working TV any more.
2. Last month I took a work trip to Phoenix, visiting both Bryn and Britt in the process, and Britt told me I needed to blog about what happened at her house, which I frankly think shows a lack of delicacy, CONSIDERING.
She and I went for a swim/hot tub, and she wore a dress down to the pool as a cover up. I wore a swimsuit and towel.
Later, we walked back to the building, and Brittany said “oops.” Which is rarely a good omen. She’d forgotten the key to the back door of the building.
“So we’re locked out?” said I.
“Not exactly. We can get in the front...”
Which is all well and good, except they live on Central Avenue. Opposite a Metro Station. And while I’m not THE most modest person on earth, I do prefer not to walk down major thoroughfares in large cities dressed in a two-piece swimsuit.
Brittany appeared to think the situation hilarious, and openly, if insensitively, bemoaned the fact that there weren’t MORE people around to see and be entertained.
So if every you see someone walking around who seems to be inappropriately dressed, and you hastily judge them as crazy, take a moment to pause. Perhaps they are a trusting friend, who thought they were out for a dip in a private pool. Or perhaps they were trying on their Hallowe’en costume and got locked out when they took a moment to empty the rubbish. You just don’t know.

Don't you remember that bit in Revelation about the Last Days? How how it will get really rainy and the jungles of giant ferns will again cover the earth and the dinosaurs will return and gobble up the tares?? You'd better not trip around scantily clad in public anymore, or the dinosaurs will eat you up. :)
Why didn't B go in the front and come through to let you in the back?
Hmmm...good point. But I prefer to judge. ; )
We thought of that after the fact, Marie! But we also thought that me hanging around in the dark on my own scantily clad might not have been a good idea, either.
why has no one commented on the brilliant fact that you wrote it hallowe'en???????? that is enough to make me fall in love with you all over again.
