Alright - here is a “quick” rundown of some stuff that has caught my fancy in the past week (or so).

• Last Thursday - when I got home from work (about 1:10 am or so), I had the “pleasure” of meeting two (2) very large raccoons. They were sooo huge and waddling and only about twenty (20) feet away from me - when I got out of the car that is . . . I, of course, had to try to get closer - but only got to about fifteen (15) feet before they scurried away. The really unfortunate part of the whole thing is that they weren’t very cute at all - just fat (about double Spot Elliot by my guess . . . or 45 pounds for those that don’t subscribe to the Spot Elliot frame of measurement).
• Last Wednesday - on the way to the train (the Grand Central Train) back up to the (slightly more) frigid north . . . I stopped inside a shop - that I have been going to for years - to get a cookie. It is by far my favorite cookie - my favorite favorite. I was shocked to find out that the price had jumped from $1.75 to $2.00. I even said “What?! Did cookie prices go up or something?” and the man behind the counter shrugged and said “My boss . . . My boss . . .” - which was the best answer that he could have ever given. I took my cookie - paid - and ran.
• Remember how I was having a “crummy day” last week?! Well I do - and I think that I have partially figured out why that was happening - I got all kinds of sick right around then - so I am pretty sure that was part of the whole “crummy-ness” of the overall situation . . . feeling better now - even though it is winter time in April - booooooooo.
• Here is the last bit for this second in time - the other night (and this ties into the being sick thing - because I got to take medicine - which can sometimes lead to fun dreams) - blah blah - the other night - I was having a crazy dream which culminated with everyone telling me that I weighed 172 pounds . . . and by everyone - and mostly the reason for this post at all - is that none other than Robert Downey jr. did a guest spot - a cameo (if you will) - in my dream to tell me that I weighed 172 pounds. The (almost) best part was how medicine laced vivid everything was . . . but the (best) best part was when I woke up and weighed in at exactly 172 pounds - not a tick higher or lower on the digital scale. [And now I have officially stopped eating - because that is a high water mark for me - ahhhhh night time cookies . . .]
