Gorgeous October weather.  I'm spending as much time as I can outdoors while I can.  So beneficial for my head and all the walking is great too.  I bought a new backpack and am going on a little hike tomorrow.

A friend asked me about my Dapper Gentleman, I have no new installments, I've only had one brief encounter since I first wrote about him.  It was in Whole Foods.  The timing and location were not right.  I felt like an aggressive stalker when I envisioned me getting his attention.  He moves very quickly, inspite of his gait.  I had high hopes for today at the Farmer's Market, but alas, it was not meant to be.  I did buy lovely tomatos, squash, Thai peppers, and a small eggplant.  For which I will need to look up a recipe.  It was just so adorable I had to have it.

There was a party in the building next door, theme being Beatles Rock Band.  You could hear windows slamming shut, but it didn't help.  No triple pane windows here.  They were shouting/singing and then applauding and whoo hooing as if...It was excruciating trying to drown them out. 

I watched The Naked Civil Servant, a movie about Quentin Crisp and Frank Zappa, Apostrophe & Overnight Sensation.  I could have been a Frank Zappa fan in real time, if anyone around me--older brother & sister, family friends, etc. had listened to him.  I can imagine being influenced by him and his music, ethic, intellect, counter everything and possibly taking different paths.  I guess he really was a cult favorite.  I am now a big fan. 

oooh.  Quiet out there.
