Tonight I attended a retirement party.

It was a very nice party, indeed.  There were many people there, of all walks of life.

Being amid other people… often leads to one thing ….and that is communication.

Talky. Talky.

Tonight, it seems I engaged in quite a bit of idle chat.

Or was it idol chat?

Well.  Let’s seeeeeee….  we talked about some of our favorite TV stars and celebrities…. sports superstars….  and totems…. golden calves… pagan gods…

…. that’s pretty idol chat.

I also prattled about how  my car gets stuck between second and third gear… and the fact that certain people like to waste time… also the behaviors of the unemployed…

…. that’s more idle chat.

I’ll tell you.  Being socially jejune is hard work.
