Oh good... I was worried that I was a racist for a minute there!

So, I am in Rite Aid at the Crystal City metro stop and I am perusing the shelves. I noticed that the black woman standing at the end of the aisle looked a lot like the lady that works in the office right next to mine. Just as the thought entered into my head that she looked like Tina, I kicked myself. I thought to myself, 'David, that is so racist! Not all black people look alike!' Then the lady glanced up and saw me looking at her, smiled at me and said, "Hi, David." Turns out it really WAS the lady that works next to me. I was pleased to not be a racist after all. Also, I need to remember to wear my glasses more often...

Old Folk

Does anyone find it curious that the word "Crotchety," "Croquet," and "Crochet," are so similar? They all seem to be tied to old people.

Example:
The crotchety old man was playing croquet while the crocheting old woman watched.

...I am just saying...
