Daily Blague

The building's air conditioning came back on last night, but until then the blue room*, with its new window unit, was the place to be. So I tackled a lot of messes, mostly by exporting them to other parts of the apartment. Among the things I had to deal with was a colorful South American tote bag that held a miscellany of photograph albums. One of the handles had finally unraveled completely, so the bag had to go. In the process of clearing it out, the snapshot above fluttered to the ground.

Lord! I thought. All that hair is so hot! And not in the good sense of "hot." And so red! I've grown very fond of my silvery grey hair. I'm in every way more comfortable with myself today than I was when the picture was taken (believe me!). Youth is so totally wasted on the young.

The lady in the picture is, of course, Miss G. Isn't she cute? She's even cuter now.

* The blue room is our apartment's second bedroom, which I use as a library/writing room. It has been painted some shade of blue for the entirety of our twenty-four year occupancy.
