For Your Convenience

 Summer is flying by as usual for me. Pretty soon it will be dreaded autumn and the beginning of  the despised cold weather that makes my life miserable. Today was a scorching, hot 87 degrees. Just the way I like it. At five  o' clock I drove down to the bike trail to go for a 5 mile run. Of course I choose the hottest part of the day to torture my body. Fortunately, I was able to complete my run with flying colors. I didn't have a heart attack or stroke so I considered it a rousing success.

After I was done, I changed shirts. My running shirt was completely soaked. I changed into my Smiths Queen Is Dead T shirt.

I drove to the local convenience store to get something to drink and some snacks for later. I walked into the store and I was utterly and completely shocked when I heard "How Soon Is Now?" on their sound system. I never thought in a million years I would hear a Smiths song there. So I walked around the store proudly wearing my shirt and wouldn't you know not a damn person even noticed. I wanted to scream "THIS IS THE SMITHS, THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME". "THIS IS MORRISSEY, OUR GENERATION'S OSCAR WILDE". Of course I did no such thing because I am too much of a wimpy wimp. So I paid for my items and left. I love irony and this was one of those occasions that is just a small slice of a meaningless life.

In another small bit of irony I was listening to REM, "Turn You Inside-Out" on the way over to the convenience store.

                                                                      How Soon Is Now?

On a more somber note, we are coming up on the one year anniversary of Moz's Mother, Elizabeth passing on August 13, 2020. Our heartfelt thoughts go out to Morrissey on this sad occasion. We wish him well and hope that he continues to soldier on in this difficult time.
