Spinster Girl Takes a Holiday

My first real vacation in two years. I plan to live life like a luddite. Frosty beverages, mass quantities of sunscreen, shrimp and my pasty ass legs in shorts. No shoes, no cell phone, no lawyers; I'm happy already.

I have to tell you this story.

A year or so I went to fill out some 'official government documents' at the court house of a smallish city in Europe.

Under personal data there was the obligatory male/female box.

I tick female. Then look for the 'single' box. There is none.

I point this out to the receptionist. She looks at my age: 27. And tells me. "This is you..." as she points to the final box.

I balk. But I tick it. Because I have to.

"SPINSTER".

I mean, come on!

Hope your time off is more relaxing than mine was. I'm still feeling about half-passed dead. Have fun.

Have a ball:) I'm selfishly a little bummed- we were going to invite you for a cookout Sunday. You'll be having more fun than we will, though!

Hey Spinzo - love your suit.

Thanks, Ian. It took forever to get in shape. My secret? Carbs, lots of em.

H, I'm sorry I missed the BBQ. Redo!

And, Buffy, I actually think I prefer spinster to single. There's something kind of mysterious about it. Single is just that.
