Do you ever feel like your life is a sitcom?  You know, where one theme will emerge and then continue to assert itself over the course of a few days?

Last night I got some pretty disappointing news about a guy that I’ve been scoping out.  I’m not completely sure the news is true, but after hearing it last night, I started picturing said guy in a number of Whiskey Tango (white trash) situations and got really depressed about the whole thing.

So then this morning, while waiting for the coffee to brew at work, I was talking about the weekend’s food with my foodie co-worker, Feeners, and we were talking about how hard it is to find quality bread in Havre de Grace.  I asked if he ever went into [a local] bakery, and he said, “yeah, on occasion, but…” and here he kind of glanced around and lowered his voice, and said “it’s kind of a… white trash bakery.”  I laughed, and he said, “not to be classist… but… there are a LOT of good old boy types in Havre de Grace.”  That made me feel a little sick, because it’s true, and UGH, if it didn’t relate to my issue.

Then this morning, as I was telling my friend Jane all of this, she reminded me of something else.  Last night we went to a chili cook-off, where my friend, Fred, was competing.  His chili was amazing, and had beer in it… but anyway… the name of his chili?  White Trash. 

I wish, like any good sitcom, this all gets resolved; maybe some Uncle Jesse type can tell me what the lesson is in all of this.  But most likely, time will just tick on.
