It's Sunday. The kind of day when one tends to just bum around town hang out and find the beauty in the city. We did well for the most part. Then day kind of took a weird turn as we were winding down.
Some background:
I used to have an incredible record collection that I cherished until I left home. Somehow I lost most of them and lately have been trying to replace them. Also I thought I was allergic to honey. Come to find out I was just allergic to processed or commercial honey but I can have pure honey. We needed to get Adam magazines for his trip back to France on Friday. Bob needed to shop for groceries to make his cheesecakes and sweet potato pie. Alexander just wanted to hang out.
At the first stop, I found Loveshine by Con Funk Shun record for $8.32 in a used record store at Pike's Place. Seeing as this is a rarity that has not been in production since early '80's and is only found as an import costing between $30 and $120 and I had been looking for for about six months, this was truly a beautiful find. Hot damn! This was a good day so far.
Second stop, we found a local beekeeper who sold us the most delicious honey ever. I no longer have to double check my honey anymore. She is local and all the honey is pure and there is a overwhelming variety that I can have a different honey every day for six months. Next to the beekeeper, bob found flowers and brought me Tulips (I love fresh flowers). Hot Diggity! So far, so good.
Third stop, Adam took us into a french bakery were we got wonderful fresh and warm pastries right out of the oven. Right on!
Fourth stop, Starbucks headquarters were we discovered they have extended their tea menu with some creative mixed tea. Not bad for a coffee house. Oh yeah!
On our way to the fifth stop, some idiot decided to cross the street against the his light. We almost hit him but we stop right on a dime. So of course this guy decides to hit the driver side window with his hand. What he didn't count on was Bob backing up and me rolling down the window. Now I have a lot of my father's spirit in me. That means when it comes time to fight, its on. So I asked the guy if he was crazy or just a plain asshole. I voted for asshole as he insisted that we were weapons of mass destruction and he states that he could shoot us for trying to run him over. He stated also that he was telling on us and we would hear from him soon. I told him to go right ahead and that I would be looking forward to it. During this exchange Bob was seething and wanting to get a word in edgewise, but could not. Again I am my father's daughter and willing to fight, MS be damned. This exchange lasted about 10 minutes, before Bob got tired and drove off. We get dropped off at the newsstand while Bob goes to look for a parking space. We don't see Bob again for about 45 minutes. I have no proof but I believe he was looking for this man and may have indeed found him. As of now Bob is not talking about it. I am sure I will hear about it 10 years from not. But the day is shot and we are all kinda pissed. Shit!
Last stop, Adam has is magazines and we ran into Whole Foods for more groceries before we came on home. We were all relieved to be in our space and world. Then about an hour after being home it snow again and we realized that we would be snowed in for a couple days again. Goddamnit!
But we ended on a good note: Donovan McNabb and rest of the Eagles kicked the Vikings ass and now Baltimore (really?) is something to watch. Now, I am hopeful about the Superbowl. Yippe!
