Month: November 2003

Today I went to Wal-Mart for a pedicure. This was neighbor, Jill’s idea. We are going to a gala fund-raiser event tonight.

The young man who gave me the pedicure was blind in one eye. He was a nice looking guy except that one eye was all white with some blue veins. He had a good sense of humor. He told me that I would live a long life because I have long toes. He didn’t think I had a lot of dry skin on my feet because he used this razor tool to try to scrape my heel. He said some people have a lot of dead skin. I asked if they recycled that. He thought that was a strange idea. I told him I would probably see him on TV in 5 years selling dog bones made from people’s heel skin.

Ted likes, Strawberry Cake, Tang, and Russian Tea, Little Furry Gremlin dolls, and playing Hide and Seek.

Ted liked growing things like Cucumbers and Sunflowers. He watched Star Trek, Hogan’s Heros, and Mash for lots of hours.

Ted is silly, and he’s fun and always pretty cute. He tried to play piano, but never touched a flute.

Ted loves movies, playing games, and really likes to read. Like his Dad he always has a trick up in his sleeve.

You can’t help loving Ted, he’s my little brutha, one of the good guys that Ted he is, I wouldn’t want anotha.

The birds are flying south for the winter.

In all of my almost 41 years of life, I have never seen a sign like the one I saw yesterday. The sign said “Incontinent or non-toilet trained people are not allowed in the pool.” Another sign close by has a list of rules that after reading you’re too tired to go swimming: No jumping in the pool, no splashing, no running, no rough play, keep the noise level down, blah blah.

I agree that all pools should have a list of rules. I guess these rules make it clear that no fun should be had by anyone who might have some tiny portion of kid left in them.

I wonder if I will be one of those people enjoying all those rules one day, and just when that day will come. I hope never.

Thanks to everyone for Tybee and all the great memories to add to my list.
