Good evening all,
And now for the news... Ran with Susan this morning. Called T'knesha but no answer. Oh well.
We had a good run, but our bodies were feeling the effects of the week and we were tired by the end. But it felt good to out running. A little cool, but beautiful.
Work was the usual, hurrying to get all the jewelry polished up and shipped out in time. Which led to a welcomed break at Jason's Deli. Love the soups and salad there. Anyway this leads me to my point of telling all this. As I am am sitting there minding my own business and eating my salad, an interesting sight appeared. At first I did not see it clearly as my head was down shoveling more leafy greens into my already full mouth. A flash of red caught my peripheral. Mouth now satisfied to maximum capacity I quickly turn to catch whatever the flash of red was that I had somewhat noticed. Chewing and turning my head, I see it. A man I do believe. Since I was sitting in a booth, my field of vision reached only the strike zone - mid-chest down to the knees. The red was one of those winter vests filled with down feathers that resembles the Michelin Man. And just south of that was THE TIGHTEST pair of white cotton, SEE-THROUGH shorts I have seen of late. Now you only see shorts like that in a WHAM video - for those who don't know WHAM, think of the construction guy in the Village People. Oh yeah, they were that short. I tried not to, but I couldn't help it. My head spun back forward so fast, but it was too late. Bits of spinach and red leaf shot through the air to the other side of the table while I did my best to push my cheeks out and purse my lips shut. Luckily the co-worker that was sitting there had gotten up for seconds. With one hand reaching for the napkin and the other keeping masticated salad in my mouth, I probably looked like I was having a seizure or something. My one friend gave me a puzzled stare as the other returned to her seat. Both were curious as to why I was grunting behind the napkin, head down and teary eyed. I tried to explain, mentioning the red vest when there he was walking up from my rear leaving them to see just what was causing me to convulse. And like me, they couldn't hold in their laughter either. We weren't trying to be cruel, but that was just funny. Oh, and on the return view we noticed he had tube socks on with hiking boots. "Maybe he was cold", I justified, but the one in front of me said, "well from the front it kinda looked it."

If any of you happen to know this guy, no hard feelings but he made my day.

Summer's coming, y'all. Break out the sunscreen and tighty-whiteys. If you got it flaunt it. And if you don't have it... just wear a down jacket and some hiking boots; no one will even notice!
