Wife and I went to Home Depot to look at things for the house, because we’re addicted to home improvements.
We got kicked out of the store when they closed at 8pm, but there is a Lowe’s right next door to it, so we went to Lowe’s.
We got kicked out of Lowe’s when they closed at 9pm, but that’s OK because there is a Menard’s right next to that, so we went to Mendard’s.
We got kicked out of Mendard’s when they closed at 10pm. Â That was not OK because there are no more home improvement stores.
On the way to the car, I turned to Wife and said, “Honey, remember when we used to close down bars?”
And yet, just when I think I might be too adult and all grown up and boring, little things will come by to remind me that I’m just as immature as ever. Â I was walking the dogs on a pretty hot and humid evening, and the neighbor kids were running through the sprinkler in their front lawn.
You better believe I ran right through that bad boy. Â And it was glorious.

I did something similar with my grandkids, I climed up the slide in the kiddies play room at Burger King…and got stuck. Took for ever to get turned around so I could go back down the slide. It was great.

While I’m still a fan of closing down bars on occasion, I must say that I had a “holy shit, I’m getting old” moment last weekend when I decided to not do anything on Friday night so that I’d be well rested enough to get up early and walk to the Farmer’s Market on Saturday morning.
Oye.
21-year-old-sorority-girl me is so disappointed.
