MAD-Boxing morning...

Salut,

Sitting at Starbucks, having an espresso chocolate brownie thingy for lunch (and breakfast actually). I don't eat very well these days. Leaving room for improvement next year... I need a few good resolutions to get in better shape... :-)

I was planning on doing some late xmas shoping this morning but the stores were closed. So I had a first latté then, and went back home to shower (long story, maybe some day I'll tell you about it ;-). I thought the stores would open at noon, but nope. Only at one... so I started feeling a little hungry and aimed at specific a restaurant, but it doesn't open until three... ho well...

So here I am, alone at Starbucks, having a brownie and waiting for the long lineups to get in the stores that just opened so that I can get in to snif around and see if I can find gifts for family coming over to my place tomorrow for our traditional xmas/new year party on a Saturday in the middle, whatever the real day others celebrate.

I kind of like to be atypical, or non-conformist if you prefer. Beeing the dad of a split family kind of helps, but even as a kid, I don't know why, but I often strived to do things differently. I almost always question the norms... I do admit that they often make sense, and I do follow them in those cases. I'm not the kind to globally reject all norms, but I try to make up my own mind about it...

But I think you already guessed all that by now... Anyway... I'm done with my coffee and brownie now (I don't type as fast on a phone as on a regular computer keyboard of course, and I will most likely have a few typos to fix once I get to publish this online)... So I hope you are enjoying the holidays... Talk to you later...

BYE
MAD
