Overheard

Last night I finally had the opportunity to meet David as he was in town speaking at a local book club meeting*, which he invited me to. [Ed. Note: David's the one who introduced me to Set Up Guy.] Anyway, David and his fiancee were very cool, the book club was great, and the members were a hoot. For example:

The hostess’s husband was getting over a cold, so another member said to him: You should put some warm saltwater up your nose.

I don’t know why, but I found that absolutely hysterical. Maybe it’s just me. Or maybe you had to be there. Or maybe I could just totally picture my mom saying the same exact thing.

*Average age of the members = 50-something.

There’s a thing called a neti pot, which is basically a mini-tea kettle that you fill with salt water to help clean out your sinuses. I have really bad allergies, but I can’t bring myself to try one. Gives me the heeby-jeebies.
