Some thoughts, in an easy to follow outline form.

1. I just went to Stop & Shop because I had to buy cookies and chips for the teen advice columnists that I have to work with tonight.
• That's just funny, I have to hang out with the teens and pretend to have control over them or something, when I really just want to get the geeks drunk.
• I bet the teens think I'm really old.
• Buying cookies and chips when I'm on Atkins is a cruel joke. But my pants are falling off my ass so hardcore today you can see my undies. Sweet. (Sweet in more ways than one.)

2. Two teen Hanson-type boys with guitars were busking outside of Stop & Shop and they got kicked out. I felt bad. Then I got in Otto and drove nearby to Starbucks (sorry, Adam) to get iced coffee and the boys were trying to busk outside the Bed, Bath & Beyond, and they got kicked out. They were on their way to the Men's Warehouse next.
• I'm glad I felt bad for the kids, because for a split second I almost had the thought: "Go away, grungy teens." That would make me old.
• Making a Hanson reference definitely makes me old.
• The Starbucks lady called me "miss" (note: not ma'am, thank God) and then offered me heavy cream for my coffee. Is she a mind-reader? Do I have "Atkins" written on my forehead? In any case, she was a gem, and I want to go back and give her a tip.
• The busking teens are dumb, because who the hell shops at the Men's Warehouse on a Thursday afternoon at 2:30? Not exactly a money-making location. I bet they got kicked out anyway. Maybe I should go back and give them a tip, too, but they kinda sucked.

3. Driving back from Stop & Shop, the man behind me was driving a mid-'90s Subaru station wagon, but the steering wheel was on the opposite side of the car. I was so confused, I thought I was having problems using my rearview mirror. But when I realized he was sitting next to the curb, and I was sitting next another car in the lane beside me, I got it.
• Is Stamford suddenly part of England? Or am I nuts?

4. Conclusions:
• I'm generous and I feel like giving money away today for some reason. Too bad I'm not rich.
• I have a real age complex today.
• I'm a little off today.

5. In other news:
1. Three months 'til Christmas. What the fuck?
2. Tonight a film Heather edited is being screened at the Greenwich Film Festival. The film is called "Mendy" and it's about Hasidic Jews, whom I am fascinated with much like I am with the Amish. And I don't mean that in any derogatory sense.
• Did you know Hasidic women go to a separate section, the "Veiber Shul" (ladies synagogue) when attending services. They are not allowed to lead any part of the services or to pray out loud, as men are prohibited from listening to the voice of women. — HasidicNews.com

6. Told you I am a little off today. A little wordy, too. And don't forget a little pointless. Except for...

7. Finally, much love, hope and faith to Baja Stacey and her family.
