Nerdy???

Today is Friday.  For many, this will be a day when most of their time is consumed thinking about the weekend and the things they’ve planned to fill the time.  For some, this may be the last day they work at their jobs, having received a “pink slip” today or earlier in the week.  Others will see today as payday, and are already bemoaning the fact that there are more bills than cash.
Some will find today to be a party day, and with the cash that came into their pockets as a result of cashing their paycheck, will hit the liquor stores, the night clubs, and the casinos.  Others will see their checks consumed by interest rates charged by the quick loan outfit they went to a week ago to scrounge up a little cash.
Some will hit the streets in search of a meth or crack fix, or to buy a little female (or male) companionship for an hour or so.  Still others will hit the links (play golf), jet to Vegas, or embark a cruise ship bound for the Bahamas.
Many, however, will buy groceries, gas up the car, set aside some money for the offering at church, pay the light bill, and pick up toilet paper and cleaning supplies at Wal Mart.  These folks are the ones with which I can most relate.  Does that make me old?  Out dated?  Dull?  Nerdy?  No, I think that makes me mainstream.
