Random Thought for Thursday 10/3/13

Yes, I wore my sunglasses today for my 'hood walk, even though it was drizzling.  ['Hood walks are now part of my lunch hour routine, since I'm on a mission to lose 40 lbs between last month and sometime next year when I expect to attend my 25th high school reunion.]

And yes, I had retorts ready were I to be mocked.  To whit:

"So what?  I'm cooler than you."

"Get off my back.  I don't want my contacts to be washed away!"

"Mind your own business -- the shades are little umbrellas for my eyes."

"Look, dude.  I'm an optimist, and I'm hoping the sun might come out after all.  And wow, do you ruin the spirit of everything with which you come into contact?"

And, since, for part of the walk, I was nearby on Broadway, "Nobody - no - NObody ... is gonna RAIN on MY parade."

Of course, no one did mock me as expected (at least not audibly or to my face), and so my retorts ended up all hypothetical.  Oh well ...
