Hello, readers! I hope I still have readers left - I hardly blog anymore these days. I've been really busy and blah, blah, blah... It's the same old song and dance, I'm afraid, but at least it's true. I've had very little time to relax, but this weekend has been great. I slept until 11:00, which is a rare treat indeed when you have three kids.
So, I have to apologize in advance (before you keep reading), because I have nothing really of any significance to say, nothing poignant or even substantial. But keep reading anyway, if you want.
I was driving down the street the other day, and I saw this man walking (this is the second time I have seen him). He's probably in his early 50's, and he is built like one of those former strongest man champions - very broad shoulders, and he walks with his arms out in that "strong guy" posture. He has a big mustache, the kind where the sides curl up like a smile, and he wears lumberjack boots, shorts and suspenders. No shirt. When I see him, I always wave hello, and I've secretly named him Lars. He's a very interesting character.
There's also a guy out here who rides a bicycle, usually with no shirt (what's with no-shirt guys out here?), and he has a rubber ball that he bounces waaaay high while he rides. Bounce. Catch. Bounce. Catch. He never misses a beat as he rides his bicycle. I've seen him quite a bit, and I always wave, but I don't think he'll ever wave back. That might be a bit much to ask with all the riding and bouncing and catching.
But neither one of those guys even comes close to the most unusual person I've ever seen walking down the street here in Florida. That title belongs to the Cat, uh, Person in Miami South Beach. He dresses in a tight spandex-type suit and wears a cat mask. Then he slinks up and down Ocean Ave at night, among all the South Beach night-lifers. He's totally bizarre but very nice. People are fabulous with all their eccentricities.
Here's an actual video I found of him, the Cat Man:
Cat Man...South Beach
That's really all I have on the table for you today. Now I'm going to go fold laundry and watch Wall-E with the kids. Take care and everything!
