You Won't Believe the Crazy Things We Did!

 

Costco on a Saturday Afternoon

I am convinced that being retired and not fully appreciating which day of the week it is can be a problem. Take yesterday, for example. Chris and I did two things that retired people should not do on a Saturday. 

First, we went to Costco! Yup, I really wrote that. We risked life and limb to head to Costco. It was a free-for-all. At least there were carts. We did find a parking spot and the checkout line was not too long. But, wow, going to Costco on a Saturday afternoon is just like saying , "Here is my jaw, hit me!"

The second thing that we did was to go out to dinner. We had a reservation which meant that we had a table, but the restaurant was packed and the noise level was almost unbearable. It is much smarter to go out to dinner mid-week when the crowds are lighter. 

Well, note to self.
