Fortunately he's good looking

I had eagerly been looking forward to hearing from my best friend today. That is, until he called.

Yes, he had a great week off. Sure, he enjoyed skiing at a resort with old friends. Yeah, he had a good time bringing his long-planned Thanksgiving menu to life.

BUT he really doesn't feel like working today … and he's not sure this job is a good fit anyway … but who wants to look for a new job during the holidays? The holidays are soooo busy … and his whole life feels rather temporary because they are still living in a rented house … but househunting in this new city is depressing because all the homes are so much more expensive and on such smaller lots …

My best friend is Eeyore personified.

Silver threads

Uh-oh. I'm getting ready for work, my first day back at the office after my long birthday weekend, and I notice two gray hairs over my right ear. This does not make me happy. I wonder what else is going on under all that Nice & Easy #108.

I'm reminded of that old Elvis song, "How many, how many I wonder. But I really don't want to know."
