Waiting for Phil Mickelson's signature

Conversation with a girl pancaked against me:

"Where are you from?"

"New York. But I'm stationed here in Massachusetts.
What about you?"
(spoken in thick east coast accent)

"I'm from Utah."

"Oh, that's a dry state."
(unsavory facial expression)

"It's a VERY dry state."
(big emphasis on very)

"I've broken the dry rules today."
(slurred)


Wait, I think I was confused.
Can we go back to the beginning of this conversation?


30 minutes into another conversation
with an engaging, silver haired, gentleman:

"Do you have the golf channel?"

"No, we don't watch TV."

"At all?"

"Not at all."

"Are you Mormon?"

"Yes. But mormons do watch television."

"You're so . . . wholesome. Like Donny and Marie."


sticking out like a sore thumb,

ha ha ha.... Donny & Marie.

I can't wait to talk to you and hear all about it. I hope you had a great time.

I've been called worse things ...

Here's to being 'wholesome'.

Atta girl, way to be peculiar. And that dry conversation made me giggle!
