Nothin' like a late night walk/THE CIRCULARS

Haven't gone on one in a while. It's not even that late. But walk I did for a few blocks around the hood, at a most leisurely pace. I'll let you in on a secret...there was a goal -- find the weekly circulars on someone's front porch. You see, I have a hard time lately obtaining them from my own house. Seems other tenants don't think i'll want mine. Yup, another reason to be irked. I mean, I NEED to see what's on sale on ShopRite, Pathmark and the A&P. These circulars are invaluable to me. And so, stalking the nabe under cover of darkness to "steal" one has become yet another in my escalating eccentricities. Although twice in the past month, I've encountered the immigrant Circular Man on his rounds with a shopping cart on Thursday afternoons (which is when they ALWAYS come, FYI) and politely asked if I could have one. "SURE!" came the friendly reply. "Thank you, appreciate it...have a GREAT day!" would complete this jovial sidewalk exchange on my end as I rode off on my bike. See, making friends wherever I go. Oh, yes, I also found someone's Commerce Bank debit card on my walk...SEE, keep your eyes on the ground!! Not that this helps me. I'll probably just cut it up and toss it in the trash...not like I found a purse or wallet. It's delightfully tropical out...perfect summer night! And NOW I will peruse the ShopRite circular before bed. PLEASE let OJ be on sale!
