badass. part one.

Last September I lost my beloved sunglasses at Cedar Point. Sometime after the baseball season ended I went and bought some new ones. When it got a littler warmer I wore a baseball cap and when I put my sunglasses on, the frames were too big and I couldn't pull down my baseball cap far enough. I decided I needed to get new sunglasses because there was no way I could go to a million baseball games and not wear a baseball cap, or wear a baseball cap and no sunglasses.

Before we went to Florida for spring training I made Jesse go with me to shop for new sunglasses. I tried a bunch on that were similar to the ones I lost at Cedar Point. Then Jesse pointed to some aviators and asked why I didn't try those on. So I put them on and liked them. I asked the Sunglass Hut employee if he thought they made me look like a badass. He looked a little uncomfortable and said, "well. um. I don't really know you. But you look like a nice person." Hmmm... so I turned to Jesse and asked him if I looked like a badass. He said, "Yes. You look like a badass." Great! I'll take them!

Since it was a sunny day I dragged Jesse to Belle Isle so I could take some photos of the snow and ice. It was also freezing so I bundled up. At some point I paused from taking photos and asked Jesse again, "Do I look like a badass?" I was somewhat dismayed by his response.

"Actually... You kind of look like the unabomber."

I have no idea what he was talking about...



But I think what he meant to say was, "Yes."
