Ok- as much as I respect Chick-fil-A (we don’t have them around my neck of the woods, unfortunately) I must say it does present a different picture than I had of you writing your posts. Somehow I was envisioning you in a dimmly-lit, comfortably overstuffed chair, with the aroma of roasting coffee and baking yeast breads and pastries, not eau-de-oil-fryer…
Yes, kind of destroys the atmosphere. I actually work on this during ‘family night’ while Colin, Isaiah, and 392 other kids under that age of ten bounce around. Sometimes there is a clown there playing “Old MacDonald” on a cassette tape full volume so the deaf children (I suppose) can hear the song. I like your picture better. But where’s my pipe? Wouldn’t I need a pipe? 🙂
Yes, a pipe, and possibly a glass of scotch, and while we’re at it, let’;s throw in a fireplace, and a sweater with leather elbow patches…
I’m with you, but if we go this far, I definitely am going to have to ditch the laptop, perhaps for a yellow legal pad. That will make posting a bit more complicated, to be sure, but the laptop clashes with the rest of the scene. And with the fireplace, I believe I’m going to need some cooler weather. So, we may have to part with Florida.And please, make it a cup of tea. I’m not prudish, but I’m not sure scotch and I will agree. And one thing further: no cats. Do not suggest a cat curled up at the foot of the chair. I don’t like cats. (Which is odd, since fully erect bi-pedal cows don’t seem to bother me.)
LOL! I sure do miss being around you…
Nah, laptops don’t class with the scene, as long as you are using a Mac. Right?And you can get a pipe from S. E. Thile, one that would really fit the image.
class = clashWhoops.
Absolutely right. The MacBook will blend in well with the rest. And the pipe would be purely cosmetic. Smoking has never been my way of calming frazzled nerves. For that M&Ms are my drug of choice, I'm afraid.
