I went to Chaska Recreation Center to walk laps with my wife @ducksaplenty and ran into her sister @jayna. They talked while walking briskly together; I listened to Pandora with earbuds while loping along. While there, they probably got a thousand more steps than I did.
But I got plenty of exercise later. We’re supposed to get about six inches of snow tonight so I cleared a bunch of ice that had accumulated along the stone wall by our driveway. The joys of living in Minnesota.
I’ve been slowly building a file of snippets of conversations I’ve overheard. Maybe I’d do a post of them. Or use some as seeds for short stories. Many are strange, but the one I overheard today while grocery shopping is stranger than most. A sixty-ish woman speaking to her husband:
“I don’t like olives in milk.”
Uh, say what? As opposed to everyone else who does like olives in milk? In what context would a sentence like that fit other than an avant-garde absurdist play?
It was great to see you guys. You should post the picture I took of you two. Adorable.
That’s a great idea to keep a log of dialogue snippets. They are great for short story starters! The olives quote is hilarious. Here’s the one I heard today that I found to be completely mystifying. I was walking through Target when a young boy of perhaps 10 or 11 walked past and called over his shoulder (though there was no one there) “Call me if you need me!”
There it is! I love that picture of you guys!
