it's raining here today so i wandered to the mall - which was deserted and quiet.

no children were riding the carousel. no shoppers shopping. no cinnabons being eaten. only aimless people like me and a few working moms running errands and a couple of tourists unable to tour (missing instruments perhaps?). there was a hush - except in hot topix. of course it was loud in there as the emo salesclerks ignored me.

so i came home instead and had a sandwich and some fruit. like a child, including the cut halves - but i ate my crusts so i could whistle. 'cause i always heard if you eat your crust they help your whistle and mine's been sorta weak lately. not so much the dogs laugh and point...but, they look and me and think 'seriously?'

and it was good....really good. especially the strawberries. i saved one for you.
