tomorrow is really tuesday

Sundays are actually my Mondays, but for the most part they're low key, quiet days that go by quickly.  Weird coincidence:  a woman came in earlier that needed to print out a boarding pass for her flight back to Seattle and I said, "Oh! I'm from Portland!  Can I touch you?"  Just kidding.  But I did mention where I was from, originally, and she grew up in Portland and we went to relatively close high schools.  CRAZY!  Portland Interscholastic League, hey now now!  And then, a bit later, something weird transpired (something weird in the public library - can you imagine?).  A guy asked me where I got the burn mark on my right ring finger.  ER.  What-what?  I was like, this microscopic callous that I get from pressing too hard on my pencils when I write?  That burn mark?  "Yes."  Sometimes the over-observant make me think of serial killers.

I write with my ring finger, too. My mom always tried to get me to rest the pencil on my middle finger, but I never could do it.

Watch your Site Meter. The over-observant scare me, too.

You should make up a "Portland handshake" that you teach everyone that you meet from Portland. That way you can keep track of people you have met before.

...In case you need to...

What a random thing to ask. That's the kind of question that would be followed by an uncomfortable pause.
