MY NEW TOOTHBRUSH PROMISED WHITE TEETH IN 28 DAYS. AFTER JUST TWO WEEKS THREE PEOPLE COMPLIMENTED ME ON HOW WHITE MY TEETH WERE. AND I STILL HAVE TWO WEEKS TO GO. I WOULD SAY THE NAME OF THE TOOTH BRUSH BUT SINCE THEY ARE NOT PAYING ME, LET ME JUST SAY THIS: IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TOOTHBRUSH THAT WHITENS YOUR TEETH: IT IS OUT THERE.

I'M HAVING A POT RENAISSANCE AND THE ONLY THING I COULD TRULY HOPE TO COME OUT OF IT IS MY LONG-STANDING GOAL OF WRITING ONE GOOD ONE-SENTENCE ENTRY A DAY FOR ONE MONTH (WITHOUT GOING BACK AND CHANGING THE DATES AROUND. SO FAR SO BAD.

HERE'S ONE OF THE STRANGEST THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO ME IN THE LAST YEAR: UPON RETURNING TO MY GYM AFTER BEING ABROAD FOR SIX MONTHS, THE LOCKER ROOM ATTENDANT HANDED ME THE KEY TO LOCKER #27 -- MY USUAL. IN ADDITION TO BEING REMARKABLE THAT HE REMEMBERED MY LOCKER, HE MADE ABSOLUTELY NO ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE FACT THAT I WAS GONE. IT WAS BUSINESS AS USUAL.

MORE DEPRESSING THAN EVERYONE GETTING OLD IS THAT EVERYONE IS GETTING MIDDLE-AGED. AND FAT. FML. KMN.
