The Purple and the Red

You know, when I am an old woman I am going to do whatever I goddamn well please, just the same as I have always done.

Purple is highly overrated.

I expected the link was going to be to a news story about some really cool old lady (like the oone who is hoping the Cubs win another World Series like they did when she was 18), and was going to suggest that you wear purple. Or tie-dye, if purple really is overrated.

I loved that poem when I was younger. Now I figure, why wait?

My local newspaper has done "Life Section" stories on the local chapter of the Red hat Society. Personally, I think the whole thing is really silly. And purple is my favorite color...but not with a stupid red hat!

Phew. I thought you were implying you were going to try this.

But hey, what the hell. It's hot in Florida.

Why do we owe conformity of actions to the younger, if what we propose to do is non-harmful?! MB posits that we do not, for a red hat with purple trim is still far less offensive for viewing than a stud in a tongue!
