Excuse Me!

On Friday, I was waiting for a friend outside the Museum's new Crystal thing. He was late and, because I don't wear a watch anymore, I didn't know what time it was ... or how late he was.

Two ladies - one middle-aged, one perhaps a little older - came out of the museum, and headed in my direction. One of them was certain to wear a watch, I supposed.

"Excuse me," I said politely. The older lady got a stricken look on her face, said "No ... ", and turned her head away.

"Can you please tell me what time it is?" I continued.

"Three-ten," the younger woman said, and the two of them continued on their way.

Harsh!!

Cliché Speak

"I understand why people are asking. I'd ask," he said. "For the most part, we're going to try to stay the course and build around our young pitching as we move forward. But talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words, so let's see where I'm standing come February."
