Odds

We went to Barnes and Noble to look at books and magazines, but mainly to get away from the house for a bit. Classics on the cheap: How long has it been since I read A Tale of Two Cities? Or Heart of Darkness?

Later we walked around the mall. When my knees tired we sat together on a bench and I took random photos of shoppers’ feet.

“Why are you taking pictures of feet?” she asked.

“For a blog entry today,” I replied.

“Did you learn something here?” she wondered.

“Yes.”

“What was it?”

“Women in Dallas must have a body shop that sprays on their jeans.”

“No,” she offered. “It’s just how they wear them. It looks uncomfortable.”

Shoehorn, I thought. But I didn’t say it out loud. My mind turned left and I thought of guillotines and the best and worst of times.
