Loose Laces

For anyone interested, I have a new blog just for photos that may or may not show up on Loose Laces and Flickr. http://loosepics.blogspot.com/ There is also a link on the side bar.

A beautiful young woman asked me to meet her this evening; sorry Nessa, but something has come up and I won't be able to make it. Another time, for sure.

That hurts! To be asked out by one so lovely and young; a sweet girl I've admired since I first met her more than thirty years ago, and then revel all week long in anticipation of a beautiful date; there is no justice in this world. Or is there? My karma sucks.

Had to drive out W. Walnut street a few minutes ago, and I noticed the ornamental dogwood buds along the way are swelling. Either they are anticipating spring, or they have allergies the same as my eyes. I hope they don't freeze like the ones did last year in March's mini ice age.

Speaking of last March, it was the last time I had a haircut. If I can hold off 'til this March, I shall have it cut! I haven't shaved since early October, so I suppose when the weather begins warming and I begin sweating, it too will come off. I'm not talking about a wimpy goatee or chin whiskers or a partial beard; mine is full blown hillbilly, snow white, and would look great with some tobacco juice stains around my mouth. Perhaps some Skoal® or Beechnut® browning would be perfect. Anyway—being conceited—I'll make a final photo of myself before shearing time, and display it in a prominent place. Someone besides me is bound to appreciate it...
