Three Things

Number One: Chivalry is NOT Dead!

I must say, that it brings me the greatest joy whenever I see even the tiniest displays of proper gentlemanship being expressed out in today's world.

Saturday, while having a pleasant dinner out with my grandparents I was fortunate to see not one BUT two such displays. The first was as simple as a fellow holding the door open, and it was not just for me, but also for my grandmother, his own mother, and a few other ladies, and mind you there were pauses in the flow of people coming out this door, but he stood there nonetheless holding the door and smiling, as if it were his pleasure.

Second, while walking around a shopping center there was a young man, who while walking with his lady had his elbow perfectly angled so as to be able to escort her around while they shopped...that's right elbow out and hand about level with his mid stomach...that ladies and gentlemen is something we do not see everyday.

Anywho, bravo to boys with good manners.

Number Two: Eating Alone

So due to various scheduling issues, on Mondays and Wednesdays I have to eat an early dinner, and by early I mean like 4:15. Naturally, not many people partake in such early dinners so today I was left to eat dinner by myself, and I must say, it was wonderful.

See, it dawned on me while I was enjoying my Cocoa Puffs, that is has been MONTHS since I have had any time to myself. I went from school to home to camp to home to Europe and now back to school, and each and every destination involved me being almost constantly in vicinity of and interacting with other people. Now don't get me wrong, I quite enjoy the company of those who I've been around, but dagomit, I'm pretty cool too and I like to hang out with myself sometimes.

Number Three: Body Sculpt

As is customary of Maggie and I, a new semester brings a new fitness opportunity and we have decided to continue our exercise classes, this time taking up BODY SCULPT...basically it is a low weight/high rep. strength and toning class...Whoot!! I am excited because this is definitely going to be a challenge, I can tell my the amount of muscular pain I am in at the moment. I love exercise!!
