Things I have seen and thought about over the past couple of days.

We saw a woman on King Street who was walking her duck. It had on red duck booties, a red duck jacket, and a red duck hoodie. I thought this was odd. I would have thought the duck would have much preferred something in blue, green, or even orange. But definitely not red.

Pizza can be glorious. There is not much else better than cheese pizza dipped in blue cheese dressing. Anywhere.

You can learn great lessons from any one… at any given time… if you are listening. The key, I think …. is to be ready and willing.

The mineral Malachite is said to be the “mirror to the soul.” It is green.  Somehow…. I think that is significant.

Every person I’ve ever met who was named Miranda… tuned out to be very nice, and quick on the uptake. I have liked every Miranda I have met. Today was no exception. Attitude is everything….. at least…. that is what her name badge said. It also said Miranda.

Dogs are cool. Same thing I said about Miranda goes for dogs.

If you order a Grande Hot Water from Starbucks…. let the contents cool slightly… before gulping.

Screaming in Starbucks yields attention from other patrons.

Despite my love of them…. I have decided that iPhones may be my  Archenemy.  My nemesis. My Krypton. My big whoops. I vowed never to wash another iPhone again. As many of you know…. I have put seven different iPhones through the laundry. This time I did NOT. I simply dropped it on hard concrete… face down… to ensure the shattering of glass.

There are certain people in this world that I would do most anything for. And just when you think you love them as much as you possibly can…. you find that once again…. you turn around… and love them just that much more.

Finally. Tomorrow is another day… with more ducks…. more malachite…. more great surprises. I bet.
