I was driving to the ATM to get tip money for the lovely ShopRite delivery people who help make my hermit life possible when I caught Joan Osborne's "One of Us" on the radio.  I was so happy to hear this '90s classic, especially the chorus "What if God was one of us?/Just a slob like one of us/Just a stranger on the bus/Tryin' to make his way home?"  When I was in seventh grade, our music teacher used to let us bring in our favorite songs to sing, which was pretty cool of him, and someone brought in this one.  When the "just a slob like one of us" part came on, our teacher balked, "I'm no slob; speak for yourself!".  Apparently, his coolness had limits.

Today's outfits have nothing to do with this.  Unless you count the tenuous connection of Lisa Frank and Ms. Osborne being '90s pop culture icons.

Which, of course, I do.  Because they're both passengers on this bus called life.

You too, whether you want to be or not, Mr. Z.
