Die Before Living vs. Live Before Dying

Dear Tube Dependant Driver, It bothers me that I see you through the lens of a tube. I'm not sure why. It makes no sense why something that small would scew my view of you in such a monumental way. I apologize if it seemed like I was staring while we both sat motionless at the red light. I suppose the little clear oxygen tube that trailed from your nostrils around your ear contrasted by your 20 year old face is what threw me off. By default I assume you're dying: probably in a few days.  I'm not sure why I go there, but I do. Due to my ignorant pity that was born out of illicit supposition, I found myself wondering how you're living your life. Knowing you're gonna die tomorrow (which seemed the most likely option), what are your priorities; what are you fighting to change today. I'm not dying tomorrow and will most likely live for quite some time. So why is it I'm not doing something life changing? Why is it that so many of us would change what we're doing and how we're living if we knew we were going to die tomorrow? Why not live while we still have life to live?   -Dave

The Boys Are Back In Town

Dear Shirtless Corvette Driver, If I were in charge of marketing summer time in Kelowna, you'd be on every poster. Top down, hat backwards, D&G shades and Ed Hardy tee on the dash with your buddy just as shirtless as you sitting in the passenger seat. God, I love this place! Seriously, I'd do the same thing if I were in your position. Do you know what having 2 kids will do your figure though? I'll keep my shirt on thanks.

Gray Hair vs. No Hair (I’ll take my gray hair)

Dear Balding Conversationalist, Thanks for reminding me of how distinguished I look by pointing out the rather large collection of gray hair on my head. I've actually been growing it since I was 18 and seeing as the silvery strands tend to signify wisdom, I consider myself ahead of the game. I'm glad it work as such a good conversation piece for you.

The Simple Things In Life…

Dear Lemonade Man, They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The beauty seen through your eyes is so quiet and simple and magnificent. There are a lot of people who forget that it's the simple things that matter most. This is the camp where I often reside. Thanks for such an open view into the beauty you see and reminding me that if I just hold on to the simple things, life will be okay.
Keep making lemonade.

Gnoming Changed My Life (or tales of a not so grown up teen)

Dear Late Night Hooligan, The nostalgia I experienced on my drive home is directly attributed to you. You reminded me of summer nights stealing garden gnomes, ceramic deer and wooden cut-outs of boys peeing on flowers. Life seemed so simple. It's nice to reminisce but I wouldn't trade my current responsibilities for anything. Besides, now I can teach my girls the fine art of gnoming.

Nautical Parties and Pervy Looking Friends

Dear Pervy Mustache Guy,
I gald you don drive a white windowless van. I also glad that you were just wearing a costume and that I don't actually have to worry about my daughters wanting to play with you. Although if you rocked the tight yellow shorts, unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt, aviators and pervy mustache all the time, that WOULD be pretty awesome. (P.S. - Love nautical themed parties.)
