Speaking of elderly gentlemen (weren't we just...?), the man sitting in the armchair across from me at Barnes & Noble this afternoon spent about half an hour poring over OK! and undoubtedly soaking up the juicy and rather titillating circumstances behind the cover story: "David & Victoria: Why They Had To Leave Their Haunted Home."

"Sock aesthetic." Teehee! I rarely comment, but I just want to let you know I always love reading your entries. They create such great stories :)
