when is it?
someone asked me for the time today.
i had to tell him, "i don't know what day today is, let alone the time."
surprisingly, i didn't feel lost - i felt out of touch with society, but it felt good! retirement hasn't been too bad so far. i'm trying to stick to a relaxed pace of life, which is nice for a change.
normally, that dude asking me for the time would have been the high point of my day, but this was an action-packed day: on my way back from the beach, i rode behind Slow-Motion-Rollerblade-Guy for several blocks while he skated to chariots of fire. i had never seen him get so many "hoorays" and funny looks before. it was pretty exciting.
my friend has been unemployed - i mean, retired - longer that i have and knows Slow-Motion-Rollerblade-Guy by his given name. that scares me...i don't want to get to that point, but i think that's still many months off.
in the meantime, i'm dedicated to throwing myself into my new year's resolution. i was going to initiate taco bell tuesdays, but there's the whole "what day is it today?" issue going on.
