How Do I Respond to This?

April 19, 2006 by Jack Steiner 9 Comments

As the phone call ended she said “Have a big one.”

What does that mean?

What is she referring to? Was it a slip of the tongue or intentional. Is this the newest fad in greetings and salutations. Is it similar to cool, groovy, awesome or tubular. Does my ignorance show my age. Am I just not cool enough to get it.

Maybe it is nothing. It probably is. Whatever, it threw me for a moment.

I am really too tired to do a proper job on this, but I can’t seem to fall asleep so I figured what the hell. Here is an incomplete list of songs that I enjoy listening to in the car. Some of these tunes are cause my foot to get a little bit heavy on the peddle and others just help to pass the time.

So let me grab the iPod and see what we have here to share with you.

Dr. Feelgood– Motley Crue
Friends In Low Places– Garth Brooks

There, that should do it for now. As I mentioned earlier it truly is incomplete, but it is a good start. What do you like to listen to?
