After observing my behavior of late, especially as it relates to certain young men of the coffee slinging profession, followed by my chagrin that they are so, well, young, and I am not, a co-worker of mine has suggested that I embrace my inner Dirty Old Lady. This sounds like fun, but I fear it could lead to my arrest, or at least my downfall. The fact that I would surely make a fool of myself seems pretty self-evident, now doesn't it? Nevertheless, I believe I will follow her advice. Keep your eyes out for my new line of Dirty Old Lady merchandise, to include T-shirts, coffee mugs (of course), and for 2006, a calendar. And if you are a cute young barista in this town, you've been warned.
You go girl. And if you get arrested I'll bail you out.

Perhaps I should join you in the DOL ranks. All the best to you in 2005 Nina ... hope it brings you what you are looking for. Merry Christmas!

Oh, now I have something else to look forward to when we got out for coffee: watching Nina flirt with cute young baristas! (Baristos?) This should be fun!

DOL? We had a semi-famous one here in Cowtown many years ago - Mrs. Cullen Davis, aka Dirty Old Broad - Priscilla. Her escapades on the Colonial Golf Course are immortalized on several cans of 8 mm film and Polaroid snaps. Sadly, this spicy old lady has passed on, but her fame remains.
