I have a next door neighbor that I met about a year ago. He's not always there as his home is a vacation home. He comes by when he can as he only lives 30 or so miles away.
When I first met him, he saw the iPod hanging around my neck and asked me what it was. I got to tell him about the world of OTR.
"I live in the 1940's", I remember telling him. He just looked at me.
Whenever I am around anyone for more than a few minutes, I try and bring up OTR in some way.
The other day, a couple friends of my niece were sitting at the table. They were dressed in beach wear.
"Going to the beach?"
Yes, they nodded.
"Umm. I was listening to a Suspense episode the other day about a couple who murdered a gal and put her on the beach."
They just looked at me.
And so it goes. I wonder if you also get the blank looks and stares.

Not sure if I get looks, etc., but, usually the conversation just moves to other topics.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I get the looks because I am quite serious with them. However, I am always one to pull a person's leg too - so maybe they don't know I'm serious! :D
