gfrancieI know I am gaining a bit of maturity when I refrain by getting a bit snarky and say, "It must be nice to know a lot."
There is a message board I like to read and there is always a specific personality who has a knack for saying things that come across as condescending. Though I could be reading into some imaginary subtext. Oh who am I kidding. Other people have brought it up too.
So yes. My badge of adulthood is not being overtly vicious and letting it be.
I think I deserve some custard because of that.
The other night Mr. Jenner and I were in bed having a casual State of the Family chat -mostly talking about the future, should we ever move, job possibilities and so on. We both agreed that we could never live in the South. It is too hot for us and there are too many crazy people. I think the same goes for Australia. We know lovely people in each location but it isn't for us. We aren't keen on warm weather and the fact of the matter is we are cheerful recluses. We kept throwing out ideas of places we would and wouldn't want to live. I suggested Denmark. The people are happy there because of their low expectations to be happy. (It's true) He said that learning the language might be difficult. I said, "Oh they all speak English there and really, Danish sounds like English spoken by someone who is drunk and has a Speech impediment." I kid. I kid. The conversation then wandered off into a tangent where I mentioned Garrison Keillor having lived there for awhile and Mr. Keillor's history as a man-whore. Both facts surprised Mr. Jenner considerably.
We suspect that in the end we will live far away from everyone and be known as that weird old couple that doesn't speak to anyone. We will have some sheep and a menagerie of miniature animals. It will be great.

Isolated farms are great. As long as there is a pub near by.
