i have to say it was a little…weird. kind of a weird start yesterday morning, and some general kinds of oddness throughout the day, followed by a pretty darn nice time, then more strangeness.

i’m sorry that’s all i can say about the weirdness aspect at this time. just that it was.

i’m sure tomorrow will be perfectly regular. ordinary monday.

this movie tonight, it was shot in LA and the people lived in these great houses with huge windowns overlooking lots of greenery and the light is so great there and it makes me miss la.

so anyway, today my parents, my brother david, my friend randy and i were eating at the hen house. we went there because that’s the only place dad would go.

dad is a little picky when it comes to things. in general. and also food. and places where he’ll go eat it. my dad cannot be dragged anywhere.

i’d hoped to go to the cracker barrel because they have grits there. i like grits.

anyway, this guy walks into the restaurant and david says to dad, “hey, there’s that guy…Chedister.” i spun around to look as he slid into a booth.

he looked over and i really wanted to go over and talk to him. i kept looking at him, and then he was looking over some more and of COURSE i didn’t go over there.

but here’s the thing: my cat is named Winston. Winston CHEDISTER, to be exact. because when i was trying to think of a name for him, dad and david were talking about this guy chedister, and i was entranced by the name. it’s just so fun to say. chedister.

of course, naturally, that made me want to go over to this guy and say, “hi, i just want you to know that my cat is named after you. his middle name, that is. winston chedister.”

so you see why i didn’t.

and then after we ate i walked outside and it was so freakishly warm that i forgot all about chedister, my cat’s middle-namesake.

monday tomorrow. won’t be so bad.

ok then,

grace after midnight.
