I'm Just Saying

Plane ugly

I write this at 30,000 feet, ‘lucky’ enough to have grabbed a seat on a  last minute flight to Tampa to go look at another stupid horse.

Now, that’s scary!

Having determined by poll (my own, burrrrp) that once again, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups are the most popular and requested Halloween candy among children (and those who behave like children), I was forced to eat the trough of kale chips I’d purchased and turned my attention towards perusing this year’s most frightening costumes.

Out foxed

A few days ago Paul spied our neighbor’s fox sauntering through the orchard.

I refer to the animal as my neighbor’s as he has taken up residence on their property for quite some time, complete with, I am told, sunning himself on the roof of their barn.

He is exquisite: Robust, a coat like flame, bushy tail.

Queen of Stinkbugs

I may have been inadvertently crowned Queen of Stinkbugs by The New Yorker Magazine a year of so ago (still, unbelievably, one of their most read articles), but that doesn’t mean I welcome the little boogers as they make their annual pilgrimage into my house.

True Brit

D’you know what an American asked me last week when I drove her to the airport?” said my taxi driver as we negotiated our way out of the snarl of West London traffic en route to Heathrow.

Inwardly cringing, as we Yanks have a bit of a reputation, I replied, “Haven’t a clue.”

About 6’1, actually

Twice within the last month, someone has made this comment to me:

“You’re probably a Tall White.”

How do you respond to an accurate, if not disconcerting, summation of your physical characteristics? ‘Thank you for noticing?’ ‘I can’t help being born this way?’ ‘Kinda early to be drinking, isn’t it?’
