Musings
1. Woffenden Big Kid Theorem - While riding on the back of my shopping cart through Fred Meyers, I many parents tried not to give disapproving glances at my "setting a bad example" for their children. Then I realize a little gem:
See, everyone tells you that after your 21st birthday there are no good birthdays till 25, and that's a let down because it's just cheaper car insurance - yay. But at different points between the age of 18 and 25 you gain the freedom to do certain things (for instance, riding your shopping cart) without anyone saying a word. It only happens later on in that time span, because then you are starting to look old enough that there's no way you're young enough for them to reprimand you.
When you know for sure you won't have to deal with a confrontation from a party pooper, you do these things more often.
2. Bachelor House Cleaning Corollary - Cleaning house is nine times more likely to happen if it is accompanied by good ale and a good radio station. Tonight is sky.fm's piano jazz station, and the brew is Snow Cap seasonal ale by Pyramid.
After a long day working I didn't think I had the energy to clean house. The house is already half clean and I don't feel like I've started working yet.
