- Smoothie-and-sushi, while an excellent combination under summer and fall weather conditions, is less than ideal for a cold, wet day.
- Even if you’re convinced that it can’t possibly start raining enough to warrant an umbrella in the next 45 minutes… bring it anyway.
- Check the soles of your shoes once in a while so that you discover they no longer have any tread before you find yourself slipping every few steps on a wet sidewalk.
- With #3 in mind, Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf isn’t particularly close to the food court at the Spectrum. It’s really too bad they kicked out the Diedrich’s instead of, say, moving them into the food court.
- Frosty doesn’t know how to pronounce the word chaste. As I got out of the car, they were having a big argument, with listeners IMing in to tell him that Heidi and Frank were pronouncing it correctly and Frosty insisting that he had heard the word more often and therefore knew how it should be pronounced.

How was Frosting pronouncing it? Chah-ste?
Yep, to go rhyme with the first half of chast-ity.
They were talking about “chastity clubs,” and when I got in the car, Frank was asking questions like “What happens if you decide to hook up with someone you meet there?” At that point it devolved into whether a chastity club is like a weight-loss group, where you’d come back the next week and say “Oh, I’m sorry, I had sex last week” and they’d try to support you in getting back on the wagon, or whether it would be a matter of exclusivity such that the response would be “OK, you two can get together if you want, but you’re out of the club.” Somewhere in all that, Frosty said something about being “chahste” at which point the argument began.
Describing the conversation, I’m reminded of the early Monette storyline in Something Positive where she’s trying to be a lesbian but keeps finding herself in bed (or car, or alleyway, or dark corner of a room) with men.
