On a lighter note...

I carry a purse.

It looks like a backpack, but I came to the realization this week that I carry a man-purse....a murse. Seinfeld called it a "European man's carry-all." Joey Tribbiani (from Friends) called it his "man's bag." Some call it a 'satchel.'

But in all practicality, and humility, I realized I carried everything but the kitchen sink in it... books, journal, vitamins, a pair of gloves, Tylenol, band-aids, hand sanitizer, Rolaids, toothpicks, earplugs, gum, kleenex, iPod... and yes, even a pencil sharpener (for the pencils I use to underline in the books I read).

Anyway...just needed to confess that to the cyber world, and break out of the recent pattern of deep, heavy, thought-provoking blog entries.

Don't worry... I'm not far gone enough to make sure my clothes match the bag...although black probably goes with anything, right?
