Here she is world
I had the most delightful surprise this morning. My old, old, old friend Frank called me from Miami. We touch base every few months and I always want to make it more often. There really is nothing in the world like old friends, and God knows the two of us have been through the wringer together. He is one of the funniest people I have ever had the priveledge to know and I am pushing him to start up a blog so that he can share his wit with others. Every year I make tentative plans to go to the Miami round-up, primarially as an excuse to see Frank, and every year the plans fall through. So this year I make a public commitment to get my ass to Florida this winter.
I do my grocery shopping at Lunds in the Uptown area. Damn where there some hot men there last night. I ended up home with some butter lettuce, a frozen pizza, fat-free cottage cheese, rye bread, hot sauce and sparkling water. I went in to buy toothpaste, something I did not remember until this morning when I had to stand in the toothpaste tube to get the final bits out in order to brush my teeth. I just get so damned distracted that I wander around dropping things in my cart. Little bit of trivia, thia is the same supermarket where Mary Richards tossed the chicken into her cart at the beginning of the Mary Tyler Moore show and frequent shoppers currently include Josh Hartnet and Bobby McFerrin(alyhough I have not seen him there in a while).
I have actually been picked up at this supermarket, sadly not by Josh Hartnet, but it was still fun.
