Blog Readership

Some times (actually more than just some times), I am amazed at the number of times this blog is read.   I have even commented on it to the Brennie.  It usually goes something like this ....."Who do you think is reading this dumb *ass blog?" Her response is generally something like ........ "I need some money.  Is there any in the drawer?" or "Did you wash the dishes like I told you to?"


Anyway, I had my answer just the other day.  Obviously not from my wife.


Here is how it went........
I was standing in a long line at the restroom at a national park in Ontario, Canada.  There is this one guy in line that is hard not to notice.  A nice looking young fellow of about 25. He has had a recent injury resulting in the partial loss of one hand and multiple lacerations on the other two.  He still has bandages on his hands, etc.  (Yeah, no typo there ...... Ontario, Canada, partial loss of one hand and bad cuts on the other two.)  The line is taking a while and being a congenial fellow, I strike up a conversation.  We introduce ourselves and shake hands.  The whole handshake part was a little awkward.  I chose to shake the hand with the least bandages.   It probably would have been a little odd, even without the recent injuries.  


Anyway, I tell him my name is Clarke.  He takes a short pause, gets a thoughtful look on his face, grins,  and says ....... "and Brenda, Next Stage."  I am dumbfounded.  This is getting a little strange.  Anyway he smiles and tells me that he reads the blog.  Wow!  


I know this sounds a little bit out there.  But I swear it's true.  I had this dream the other night where I was standing in a long line at the restroom at a national park ........


I would tell you the rest of the story, but it just got bizarre after that.  I finally woke up, had a JIF snack and went back to bed.


Anyway, now I know who reads the blog.  Kind of.


Life is Sweet,
Clarke
