Whew! What a day! We ran around so much our hineys are numb! But, it was all about running, waiting and eating today. I've had worse days....much worse.

As usual, we had a case of the giggles today. Everything we saw or heard sent us into near uncontrollable fits.

I'm thinking that the circus has disband and we ran into most of the lost members today, somewhere, at some point. While we were eating, a group of late teens, I'd say, came into the restaurant and were sources of both distraction and humor. For them, Halloween had long since begun. It was apparent they were good at playing dress up.

With their dark, haunting clothing and matching make up, they were a sight for sore eyes! My gosh....where were their parents??? Individuality is one thing, but when one allows one's child(ren) to emerge from the home into the world, certain issues must be taken into consideration. The potential physical, emotional, and social scarring which could be caused by simple shock, horror, and fear should be taken into account. Little children and older folks are at risk of having negative reactions to seeing such persons live and in close proximity.

Truthfully, though, they did get what the wanted/expected because a great many people pointed, whispered, and stared at the sight of these teens.One does not dress in that way to "blend."

Great time had by all in the end. Even waiting in the exam room for over an hour went fairly quickly as we did our best to imitate some of the personalities we had been exposed to already. I say again....laughter is healing and I've never felt better!

A Little Off..............
