I totally did not mind being carded at the liquor store today while buying beer. Thanks for the compliment, slightly redneck checkout girl at, fittingly enough, Whiteys Liquors. You made me feel, even if only for a fleeting moment, that I am not being ravaged by age.

Also worth noting, he's smooth with the ladies ( Read more... )

So my good friend Angela is coming into town for a visit and she's going to stay with me for a few days and I'll show her around Baltimore. I'm excited; This is the sort of thing I did back when I was young/fun. Having friends in, trying to show them a good time, just winging it; not having my life revolve around work/bills/being an old man ( Read more... )

I want to remember to remember to forget you.
