Unexpected Surprises

Gathered in the mail today and found an unexpected package from Roger, a beautiful man I have met — online in the Orchard several months ago and then, in person in Cincinnati! — and gotten to know over the course of the past few months. He had asked me if I was familiar with the group Cake, and of course I had heard of them, through Jenn, but I had not yet heard their music.

THAT is going to change, thanks to Roger, who sent me a 2-CD compilation (yay!) and handwritten track listings (double-yay!).

: )

Then, this afternoon, I played tennis with a couple of the usual suspects and our pal Jennifer (not to be confused with the aforementioned Jenn) from Worcester (pronounced “Wooster”), Mass., whom we have not seen for almost a year. Last time we saw her, she was wearing this ultra-cool Red Sox cap, only instead of being the usual Boston colors, her cap had blue sox ... and of course I told her I wanted one.

And guess what she brought with her this trip? Yeah, the cap on MY head in this questionable self-portrait! And it is a fitted cap and everything (puff, puff!) and fits my head perfectly, and on the back, it has the Boston-style “B” and everything, just in case I wanna go all hip-hop or something (which I will not, mostly because I look even dorkier than usual whilst wearing a cap backwards ... not that THAT ever actually stopped me from doing anything, really ... but still). Plus she is going to take us to see WHALES later this summer!

Roger and Jennifer ROCK, in my book.
