BITS AND BITES.

God knows I am the last person on this planet who should be discussing what is or isn't stylish for men. I have been seen in public un-showered, in sweatpants, in sandals and black socks, and have mixed plaids and stripes...sometimes all at the same time. I hardly ever care what guys do in the name of style or fashion. Tattoos and peircings? Fine. Long hair, short hair, pony tail, bald spot, comb-over, shaved head? Sure, whatever. Facial hair of any style or lack thereof? No prob. However...the Man Bun! The Man Bun? What the hell is wrong with you, dude? Man Bun? Jesus!

An interesting conversation with the lovely Explorer the other night.
Explorer: What are you eating?
Me: Fruit with a little bit of grains and dairy.
Explorer: (Looking closer) That's half an apple pie with ice cream!
Me: Well, not half and it is made from fruit and grains and dairy.
Explorer: It's bloody huge and you are going to have a heart attack and die.
Me: But you don't like pie so if I don't eat it it will go to waste.
Explorer: It certainly will be going to your waist you silly old git.
Me: I think my left arm is going numb.

The Explorer and I are now empty nesters. Kind of sad when the last brat leaves the house but there are some nifty advantages. Lights out in rooms nobody is in. Hot water whenever you want it. Dishwasher runs every 3 days instead of twice a day. But the best, oh, the best of all...FOOD. There is food in the house. I can buy myself a treat on Sunday and 4 days later think about eating it and, oh saints be praised, there it is, right where I put it, just waiting for me. 4 days later...can you imagine that? Not if you have kids in the house you can't.
