Highs and Lows
I came home to New England for the weekend, and I thought I would give a quick rundown on the highs and lows of my day here in small town USA. On the high side, within hours of waking up this morning I had a stranger tell me I was handsome, then had an attractive young woman give me a free cookie in exchange for flashing my winning smile. (I’d like to gloat about how dreamy this sort of thing might suggest me to be, but sadly I don’t think that the title of Most Attractive Man in Walpole, New Hampshire is as difficult to attain as one might imagine.)
And on the low side, I went into an empty house and saw my first free-standing urinal in a residential home. Not, I should point out, in a bathroom. Just sitting there off the kitchen. Western Civilization at it’s finest.
