One: I recently read an interview with an aging rockstar who is putting out a new album, although really for the past 10 years he’s been much more famous for dating famous women than for his guitar playing or his song writing. In the interview he made a point of saying that he was no longer as promiscuous as he had been when he was on the other side of 40, and that now he was confining his dating to — and at this point he said the name of an app with which I was not familiar. The article then parenthetically described the app as a dating service for celebrities. Tinder for the famous.
Two: As if that weren’t enough to drag my angels from the air, just now, while passing an upscale pet shop, I saw a treadmill called, “Jog a Dog.” There was a cardboard cutout of a golden retriever on this “doggie pacer.”
Jesus wept.
