To me, the Wall Street Journal is the one of the most uncool things. Well, at least when they try to tell all the rich folks what's cool. They think $5000 dresses and $20000 watches are cool. You vacation on THAT island? Yawn. Everyone who is anyone now parties on THIS island. And the spa prices are so cheap at only $500 day. Yeah. No. But it did provide some insight into how I am once again cool. There was an article about the new hot look for older guys. Khakis and Hawaiian shirts are so in! The "dad look" is hot! Oh. So you mean the way I have been dressing for years is now hot? Wow. I'm a trendsetter. Yesterday we had a design person come over to our house to give us an estimate on a new floor. We have shopped around the various tile stores and had a pretty good idea what we wanted. When we told her the style we wanted, she said, "Ooooo! That style is so hot now!" Kitty and I looked at each other and laughed. Wow! We're trendy and we didn't even know it! And then there was the article the other day about the new trend in landscaping. People are planting fruit trees so that not only will it look nice, but you get fruit too! Oh, you mean the idea I had last year and am now enjoying the fruits of my labor (literally!). Maybe it's just the old adage about "What goes around, comes around." Trends and fashion all cycle back to some point in the past. Maybe on day I will be saying, "I was into that whole furry scene back in 2003!" as everyone walks around in their designer Versace fursuits.
Cool
