Sometimes I sit and think about ice cream socials, like the one at Magic City Sweets downtown. Dad used to say ice cream brings people together, but I’ve noticed it mostly keeps them apart, since everyone’s so focused on their own bowl. Maybe that’s why they put in the arcade games – to distract us from the crushing loneliness of eating ice cream in a crowd.
I went to The Foundry’s Holiday Open House today. They had all these handmade items inspired by nature, which made me wonder: If trees could make crafts, would they make little human figurines? And would they sell them at tree craft fairs? Probably not, because trees don’t have money. They’d have to barter with leaves or something.
Later, I stopped by Blue Rider for Nacho Average Thursday. The sign said to serve myself, which reminded me of that old saying: “Give a man a nacho, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to nacho, and he’ll probably get cheese everywhere.”
