well, I WAS born in Gary...

So, I have this habit. If you know me, you will soon find yourself nodding in agreement. I really have no inhibitions walking up to most people. It use to drive a couple of my friends nuts. We would be in a restaurant and, if we were missing a condiment, I would turn around and ask to use theirs. Or, I will interject an answer to a question posed, if I know it. Why not? Friends have learned to just go with it.

It was by just being social that I met the concrete guy that fixed the apron in the driveway and the front stoop. I have met many an interesting person this way and I have a feeling that most of the people can say the same about me :P

A couple of weekends ago, I was at a restaurant and as I walked into our dining area, there was a little boy that was obviously trying to do the moonwalk. This was just a couple (2?) days after Michael Jackson's death and many were in "moonwalk" mode. I happen to know how to moonwalk, so why not impart my wisdom? My friends saw me stop, collectively did a slight "oh, there she goes" type head shake and went about their conversation while I taught the little kid (who panicked a little when this slightly inebriated woman offered to teach him how to do the move). His Mom gave the OK (more of an "it's OK, the woman may be weird, but she seems harmless..." response).

The kid did OK, but still kept sliding the wrong foot. I judged him. I still do.

I looked MUCH better than this guy....although, I do envy his headband.
