benjamin button

so it was the first fridaycation of the summer
hooray!
i slept in til 8 ayem!
hooray!!!
a very long
 it seemed
 involving dream
 kept me from wanting to wake/get up 
but
 i did

do any of you wear/use a bite thingie
one of those plastic protectors
 that are supposed
 to keep you
 from
 grinding down your teeth?
mine has deep gouges from clenching
mine also seems to keep me from totally keeping my mouth shut
hey! no snarky chatterbox comments please
not being able to close
ma bouche
 completely
 results in drool
 ugh
on my pillow 
double ugh
tmi?
ha!

anyway
i got myself together 
 wanted some fully caffeinated coffee
 got dressed
 headed out
 to
 my favorite coffee purveyor 
irving farms

on the way 
i saw this
adorable pup
waiting for the light to change

of course
 i had to crouch down snap a few pix



when the light changed
 we all crossed broadway



 it turned out 
we were 
headed to the same place


his person and i
 had a short conversation
about dogs
 not 
being 
allowed indoors
 at
 food selling venues
 here
 in nyc
 but
i couldnt resist mentioning i had just returned 
 in paris
 and
 it turns out
 in philadelphia 
they are

i said
how adorable is your puppy
 only to learn
 he was not a puppy at all 
but 
12 year old!


another person
 sitting outside
 sipping java
 commented
 he's a benjamin button dog

hence
 the caption
 of
this 
overly
 long
 verbose 
post
