Introducing my new mini series of posts, or at least what could be a mini series are some odd/interesting/entertaining things that happen to me…
A. Walking out of the mall yesterday I saw a woman storming in all dressed up for some serious mall walking complete with her sony discman. Yes, that’s correct, it was a sony discman. First on the market in 1984 and apparently still going strong almost 30 years later. Hopefully she has one of the newer models that is a little more shock resistant to avoid the skips.
2. Today, I had to give directions to a mail man. While talking to my neighbor, the mailman pulled up cigarette in hand blazing away and asked us if we lived around here and then asked if we heard of a street a couple of blocks away. I learned two things from this experience…first of all, delivering mail must be one of the few professions where you can still smoke while working. Second, the mail man doesn’t know his away around as well as I thought and he doesn’t have a navigation system in the vehicle. After he left, Mike and I just stared at each other in amazement.
iii. Mason, being the deep thinker that he is, asked me “Dad, what does the fox say?” and when I replied with the song lyrics he interrupted me and said “No, seriously, what does a fox say?” I now understand where the song came from.
Team Fricke 
I still have a Sony Walkman that plays cassette tapes—it still works and I still occasionally use it. How old does that make me? Too Old!
