\n| This guy<\/a> waited to speak with me and introduced me to his wife so I could help her get a new computer. We all had a good time.<\/td>\n | ![\"Robert](\"http:\/\/www.gnomishhaiku.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Bo.jpg\") <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\nA fun discussion with my co-worker and pal Matt ensued of ‘people we’ve met at work’. The list was rather impressive.<\/p>\n Earlier in the week:<\/p>\n Someone in a coffee establishment, after calling me ‘hon’ a number of times expressed surprised when I used my iphone to pay for my beverage. What? <\/p>\n “You’re the only older woman I’ve ever seen who uses her iphone to do that, like that.”<\/p>\n I did allow as how I work for Apple and maybe I should be able to handle doing that, lol but…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n It was pretty much a whole week of that “how did you (and by you I mean: an old woman like yourself) ever learn all this stuff?” or “perhaps you’ll know (because you’re old or a quilter or __fill in the blank__) what the answer to this is…”<\/p>\n also yesterday:<\/p>\n we had a brief time without rain, but this morning it’s raining again.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Earlier:<\/p>\n got a little surprise package in the mail from Daleah, two CD’s of quilter songs by Cathy Miller. Very funny and spot on stuff like:<\/p>\n I was in my favorite fabric shop the other day
\nI brought in my addiction for a feed
\nI overheard a woman to the owner say
\nYou don’t have the one thing that I need<\/p>\n You’ve got Hoffman and Dan River
\nRobert Kaufman, Michael Miller
\nMarcus Brothers, Northcott, Peter Pan
\nKona Bay and Bali, African from Mali
\nRJR and Moda on the stand
\nThere’s pastels, brights and jewel tones
\nKitty cats and dog bones
\nAll these things where quilters find delight
\nI’ve been through every bolt
\nAnd it gave me quite a jolt
\nWhy don’t you have plain white?
