Monday

Stopped by the post office early this morning on the way to work. This particular PO is located in one of the posh towns along the Lake Shore, in which I'll find the odd vehicle that costs more than my house and houses that I can't even imagine being able to afford.

Shipped out my parcel, and on the way ran into one of those glossy men you sometimes see in these towns. Tall, 6'3" or so. Patrician face. Hair short and grey unto silver. Very tanned, trim, and fit, and looking about as dapper as one possibly can in a workout jersey, pull-on pants, and flip-flops. Think "Italian Count."

Worked as well as a cup of coffee to perk me up, oh yes it did. And yes, I am shallow. I'm not proud of it, but I admit it freely.

Ma Signorina che fai? Il Conte vuol dirti "Grazie Mille!"

I can fake the accent, but that's about all I can fake, I suppose, so sue me :)

Not only those vehicles cost more than houses, but the monthly insurance might be higher than your yearly mortgage payment, if I could exaggerate somewhat.

Hey, the intense appreciation we have for a work of art of any sort, including those who live and breathe, just proves we are alive!

A woman who admits she oogles is rare (and precious). Brave indeed. (evil grin) Bravo!

Is it? I thought it was pretty common these days.

I'm all for appreciating works of art, especially moving ones. I remember a man I saw in a local sandwich shop once--long dark hair neatly tied back, a hint of Native American and Mediterranean about him-- Made my week. I was dressed for an intro to massage therapy class, so I wasn't even noticed, which was good--I was horribly outclassed at that moment. I hide my light under a bushel until it's polishing time....

But oh, what a view....

It does perk you up, doesn't it? You don't even need to make eye contact. It's enough that they filled your vision for a few moments.

I know what you mean by outclassed. I try to not think about it. Sometimes reality just gets in the way.

Hey, that would perk me right up, too! :)
