Reality Check, Sometime in January 2013

Several weeks ago, like after I moved into my house, but before I got the boot, I was on the sidewalk near home waiting for a tram. I heard a car coming towards the intersection with the 80s classic "Always Something There to Remind Me" blasting on the stereo. I thought, "Sweet!" and turned to look in the car and see what young, hip kid had such a love for the 80s. Behind the wheel sat an overweight, middle aged lady, drinking her coffee while waiting at the stoplight. I thought, "And that's me. Well, @#$%."
