Shit's all sorts of different now.

Another gem of a conversation today. I was telling a co-worker about one of the mom's that I hang with used to be a DeadHead and paid her way following them by sewing.

"What's a Dead Head?"
"Someone who follows The Grateful Dead as they tour.
What's The Grateful Dead?
Go away. Go away now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What's The Grateful Dead?

My Mom is part of a public reading group and chose a Sholom Aleichem story for her performance. She had to explain who Sholom Aleichem was. Then she had to explain what "Fiddler on the Roof" was.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What's The Grateful Dead?

I was under my hairstylist's comb one day when "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas came on the radio. I mentioned that I loved the song. She screwed up her face and said she'd never heard it before. I said, it's an old song. She said, like from the 80's? I said, no (argh), the 70's; it's by Kansas. She said, "The state?"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I don't know who Sholom Aleichem is.

He wrote the stories that "Fiddler on the Roof" is based on.
