Be careful what you wish for. I can't say that I really "wish" to be labeled as an Observationist, I'm just sorta rumaging around in the big and tall guys department, trying on suits and standing in front of the fun-house "mirrors" to see what fits (and looks good). The "mirrors" (all of you out there) tell me that I'm not going to be able to buy off the rack - that makes sense since my dad always said I had champagne taste and a beer wallet.
In any event, on the topic of "careful", there was a FEATURED COMMENT on yesterday's post that asked, "Does being an observationist mean you will notice things like when I get my hair cut? ~ signed, the wife.
I noticed the comment first thing this AM - before coffee but after my AM trip to the bathroom - so I wasn't entirely with it. Heading downstairs to get coffee, I passed by the wife in the hall amd simply muttered "No", and I kept on moving. She responded with, "No, what?", and I kept on moving.
In the kitchen, a few sips of coffee later, she stated that she hadn't asked me any questions. I countered with a "yes you did", to which, and without a moment's hesitaton, she responded, "I thought your blog was intended to encourage conversation."
Jeeezzz. So I kept on moving.
And, hey Mary, thanks for piling on.

Hey, no problem Mark. Can't be any worse than my husband not noticing that I changed the color of my hair once. Makes me wonder what else I can slip past him. ;-)
