Day 14242

So, I have been walking in the morning in an effort to get into better shape. I also thought it might give me a chance to meet some of the neighbors. Well, I've found no neighbors. Instead, I regularly see kids presumably walking back home. They usually are carrying a pillow and a blanket. This goes on every day, not just on weekends. I would add that most of these kids appear to be in either junior high or high school.

OK, let's cut to the chase. Are these kids really free to sleep over at any time? Is this the next logical step from latch-key kids? Are they getting any? Am I a prude? Maybe I'm just jealous! I sure wasn't getting that kind of access to the opposite sex when I was their age. Maybe this is just some kind of cycle. Maybe we will soon see kids marrying at 14-15 years of age, again.

I really am kind of surprised to see them out there. They, on the other hand, seem surprised to see me. Maybe I need to start taking a pillow on my walks. Maybe they will think I'm just coming home from some secret rendezvous. Maybe I can make them think the rendezvous was with their mother! Maybe I should start investing in condom manufacturers. Maybe they expect me to just keep getting flabbier. Maybe I need the distraction of a good woman.

Actually, that's the answer to all problems! Here's to good women. May they seek me out and flirt shamelessly!

G'night all.
