Crazy Friends
Are Such A Joy

The first ice storm stands waiting to hit us and all I can do is brace myself and wait. I can tell you that those lunatics at work better not expect Slug Bug to slip and slide through it all should tomorrow sport a layer of Death Sheen.
But once again, I digress. It's hard to keep an addled mind on track.

I have coffee with a friend of mine almost every week. She's studying for the Bar Exam and insists on getting away from Budding Lawyer Hell with me as the primary distraction. I think she's merely practicing for all the derelicts she will soon encounter in her practice. She'd make one helluva Defense Attorney. She's VERY smart, articulate and well ....out there. If you're reading this girl - you KNOW who you are and it's ALL GOOD.

So, I thought I would share just one of her stories to start. One day, she went out to get in her car and the damn key thingie that unlocks the SUV had gone dead and would not work. Shit ! Since this particular SUV came equipped with one of the lovely keypad things, she began to key in numbers. Dammit! Failure after failure ...she could not remember the code. Ten minutes went by when she suddenly looked down at her hand and realized SHE HAD THE FREAKIN' KEY to the car in her hand. DER!!!!

This just goes to show that even America's Most Brilliant become creatures of habit. The great thing is that she related the story and laughed her ass off at herself. I'm not really sure that Starbucks wanted their coffee back once I drank it. But, the story she told made me deposit it out on the patio in a slippery little stream that ran down the curb and towards that same SUV. (Okay, not REALLY, but once again....it COULD have happened.) I just love my crazy friends and I promise I will have more of her "stories" to post very soon.
