Stuff and whatnot

The pool at the apartment complex is open again.  Alex loves the pool so we were there yesterday.  He wants to go again today and we probably will in a little bit.  When I drove by on my way in I saw a woman as big as me (possibly bigger) in a bikini.  I'm not that brave...I mean, I think I look ok in my underwear, but I'm not ready to show my rolls to the world.  I don't know whether to applaud her bravery or report her for indecent exposure. 

I took Alex to have his mohawk straightened.  We were there a few days ago and the lady made it crooked.  I went in and told the gay guy who did it the first time about it and he fixed it.  The girl was there who messed it up and I think her feelings were hurt, but I told her it was crooked and she didn't listen.  Had she done as I asked, I wouldn't have called her out.

Another kid at Alex's school got a mohawk.  He's super-white and went with bare skin on the sides.  It's freaky-looking...like uncle fester decided to put a piece of greased-up cat up the middle of his skull.  If you're gonna be a copycat, at least get it right.

The Irving Parks Department has several learn-to-swim classes for kids, but none for adults.  I never learned to swim.  I can doggy paddle so I won't drown, but I'd like to actually be able to swim.  I'm buoyant-- I just wish I could make some purposeful forward movement.

After being outbid on 5 different auctions for The Queen is Dead, I found it on an Ebay store for $0.99 plus $2.00 for shipping.  I win!  I love a good bargain. "and if a double-decker bus crashes into us, to die by your side- such a heavenly way to die..."
