Now for an observation or two.
#1: If you've left your house - ever (or for some of you, you might not need to venture from home to know this, sadly) you know there are a lot of really dumb people out there. And while I am not necessarily advocating dumbing down sociey, I'm ok with making things clear and simple. So I ask this: have you ever recombobulated yourself? Do you think most people know what that is?
I mean...I get it. I often feel discombobulated. But I've never once even thought to myself that I need to recombobulate. I'm guessing I'm not alone. But please leave a comment if it's just me.
#2:Men can be pigs at any age, and if they see a gaggle of women, they will flirt. Even if these women are solidly into their 70s and 80s and it's 6 freaking am. How do I know this? I happened to have a tour group of senior ladies on my plane. (Duh - they're heading to New England to "leaf peep.") And not once but twice men of a similar age came over to flirt with Carole, Suki, Irene and the rest. (How do I know their names? They were wearing nametags, of course.) These men were not together. One of them, a good 10 minutes into his charming talk, admitted that his wife was 2 gates away. The other was sporting a neck pillow and tried to convince the ladies that he was born after JFK was shot. It was uncomfortable for me to watch. But the ladies? They giggled like school girls.
#3:Which brings me to my next observation. These women, despite their advanced age, were still like high schoolers in certain ways. They were drinking on the bus on the way to the airport and gossiping about each other the second one of them moved out of earshot. I'm guessing the previous nights bender gave them some good talking points for the gossip. And I think I'm glad the drinking stopped several hours before the men starting hitting on them. Because it could have been reallllly creepy for me to witness any actual action past flirting.
