I spent a quiet afternoon with Ellen and Jen. Dinner was good, the dog show was ok, the Kardashian series struck me as a waste of airtime and the Ghost Adventures episodes we watched on TV were interesting.
I like quiet in a lighthearted atmosphere. These moments seem to be rare anymore. But, today was appreciated, even if it wasn’t anything spectacular to write home about.
Who needs spectacular anyway. Go for simple and if it is at all possible, “Let synergy take care of the rest.”
I’m not sure who the person that tailed me from Ellen and Jen’s apartment complex most of the way through town was. But it gave me an excellent excuse to stretch my legs a bit more than what I might have normally done. “My shadow got a workout!”
They gave up at the intersection of West End and High Street. This was probably due to the fact that I waved and smiled directly at them before crossing over from my side of the street to continue my trip home. No matter what the intention, most people don’t like it when the blind guy shows signs that he knows they are there.
Now I’m ready to read some more before calling it a night. True, my Thanksgiving this year hasn’t been anything to write home about. But I got what I wanted out of it which was simply, “Quiet!”
That is what I want for Christmas and New Years this year, too. I want quiet. No house guests, no lying cheating family members around. No crank-pots. “Simply Quiet!”
