the practice

When I walked into the sauna it smelled like eucalyptus and there was one guy sitting there with a small open glass vial. I said is that the reason for the scent in here? He said yes it’s rosemary oil. I asked if for his lungs or chest? Nope, said for hair loss, just turned 30 and his father’s family has a history of it and he read about rosemary oil yada yada. I asked since he just turned 30 did that mean he had a career or was he a floating? Replied he had a career, he was a musician. I said sorry to hear that and he got defensive, my band was on sirius satellite radio I’ll have you know. I said I was just joking, I’m also a musician. He wanted to know if I played with anyone he knew. No, I teach in London and otherwise I’m at York University, maybe going to do a PhD. On what? On the practice of being melodic. He raised his eyebrows almost as high as his receding hairline – what? That’s a practice? I can’t believe they would let you do that. Maybe they won’t I don’t know, haven’t submitted the application yet. I hope they accept it, the world needs more getting along. Yeah, that’s another way to look at it.
