Today, I’m going in to work so that I can make extra money for Christmas. As usual I have no idea how buses run on Saturdays. So today it’s pretty much catch as catch can.

THE SATURDAY MORNING SHOWDOWN: On the walk towards the light rail station this morning I saw a whole gang of neatly dressed people carrying what appeared to be pamphlets. They were all clad in long black woolen coats with leather bags across their shoulders. In an instant I knew what was contained in their leather bags. I knew who they were.... It was gang of bible thumpers cruising the early morning streets for souls to convert.

As I was walking down the street one of them broke away and started walking directly towards me, Watch Tower in hand. I didn’t know what to do. So in a panic I shrieked and ran off. I was surprised that they didn’t pursue chase.

This has got to be, bar none, the most outlandish thing I’ve ever done to avoid contact with a Jehova’s Witness. I still can’t believe I did that!! I actually let out a yelp and ran down the still dark early morning streets of Baltimore!! Needless to say I was laughing my head off afterwards. I admit that this was the most childish and immature thing I’ve done in years, and you know what? DAMN, IT FELT GOOD!!

WHAT I’M WEARING: Today, I’m wearing an olive green sweatshirt with blue jeans and ratty Payless tennis shoes. Since it’s 42 degrees outside I’m wearing a mock turtleneck underneath the sweatshirt.
