post the hundred-twenty-fourth, 2013

three things from today.

1. this morning, the skies threatened rain. listening to the morning weather forecast while sitting down to breakfast, we learned the storms were due to hit the city simultaneous to rush hour. i bolted my honeyed english muffin and fled. racing the rain north, i arrived in the car park as the first drops began to fall. i hardly needed the much-disliked umbrella.

2. this evening, i purchased fancy kitchen knives from a door-to-door salesman who'd been a varsity soccer player at the high school down the road. he's working to save money to pay college expenses. all my kitchen knives are bogus. so... here's a kid we know, respect, and want to support, selling something that will replace, with one piece, multiple bogus pieces cluttering up the kitchen. boom. sold.

3. today i realized that i have a crush on candy crush saga and seem to be playing it all the time. my mind, which needs little prodding to merrily explore insanity, now sees threes-across everywhere and distracts me during business meetings rearranging my coworkers faces, pushing noses up between eyes to make three-across. the reasonable thing would be to stop playing.
