Carolyn and I were waiting at a bus stop on Monday on the way to the doctor’s office, I had a mole removed from the small of my back and now await to see what the pathologist makes of the mole, four stitches and another scar.
Anywhathooha, as we waited there were a couple of girls talking about how one of them had been in downtown Seattle during the Gay Pride Parade.

I am walking around the house with no top on, topless, bare-chested (except for the gray hairs), why? ’cause the wife likes to watch me walk around thus. I walk into the kitchen where she is making a chocolate cake (mmm my favorite), on the counter I notice some plastic clothes pegs, why do we have plastic clothes pegs in the kitchen? Good question.
Okay, I have been informed with a raised eyebrow, that they are for clipping bags of chips shut before putting them back into the cupboard, ha that’s me told.

My friend Mary told me she has been helping out with the Gay Pride Parade that is starting today (I think) in Seattle; made me think of the first time I encountered a Gay Pride Parade. Back in the day; about middle of the nineties I reckon, I had grown a mustache and because my hair was getting unruly I had a buzz cut. On a recent shopping spree I found a good deal on silk shirts and got myself a few brightly colored shirts in long and short-sleeves.
One Saturday rather than take a bus into downtown of my own hometown to peruse the stores I decided to hop on the bus to London and check out Oxford Street. The weather was hot and I was wearing one of new silk shirts, purple if I recall.

Carolyn was perusing the internets as she is wont to do and came across something she found interesting: “Look at this honey, what do you think of this?”
Sitting at my desk a few feet away but not wearing my glasses I got up to go look closer.

I took a trip to one of those big box “Mart” type stores to get some items I needed. Happily filling my basket until I couldn’t find some widgets I was looking for. I looked around for a shop assistant (associate or whatever they are called nowadays) to help. I saw a guy standing at a shelf totally engrossed in his task, he was moving a product from one shelf to another as if trying to decide where it looked best. I walked up and asked;
“Where do I find the widgets?”
He turned and had a sour look on his face because I had interrupted him, “They’re at the south end of the store,” he answered and turned back to his shelf, he didn’t point or nod his head in any direction. “Thanks,” I turned and was walking away when I realized I had no idea where the south end of the store was.
Are Americans born with an innate sense of direction?

“…so they deployed from the rear end like little white cluster bombs.”
“What?” the wife asks, adopting the hands on hips pose expecting some inane response from me, she knows me so well.
“I said they looked like cluster bombs.”
“What did? Wait, I heard you mumbling something about poop, seagulls, rain…” now she adds the head tilt to her posture.

I made some delicious cucumber and cheese sandwiches for myself and the wife, or is that the wife and I?
Dainty English morsels of delightfulness [sic]. I carried the delicate china plates of cucumber cheesiness into the office where we seem to reside on our computers. The wife [here on in known as Carolyn] takes one look; “Can you cut my sandwiches for me dear?”
“Of course snookums,” I reply and haul arse to the kitchen.

Looking through my old Moleskine notebooks I come across stuff that I scribbled down but not necessarily posted anywhere; 1st page of one notebook dated Wednesday 6th June 2007 had the start of some crazy story I was mulling around in my head. The original idea was a crazy quaint English village with some zany characters and stuff. No notation as to having posted it online previously and it has sparked the desire to work on it some more. Some of the character names are left blank as I hadn’t thought of something at the time of writing. The writing flits about as I was scribbling thoughts as they came to me and would fill in the chunks later.
The Village
Arthur R <name> III¼ was an Internationally Renowned photographer; the fact that he rarely traveled outside of the village made the “Internationally Renowned” legend a bit less impressive. Arthur lived to take photos, mainly because being dead would’ve been a hindrance to good composition. Arthur was responsible for documenting all the local Weddings, Christenings, Parties, Graduations, cute smiling cats and kittens, local news worthy events and funerals (he had pioneered the documenting of wakes, his specialty shot taken from a low angle behind the coffin as the deceased point of view) which surprisingly were popular.
