John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Stylin’ Like a Guy

Friday morning –stylin’ like a guy.

In Starbucks this morning I noticed a guy I hadn’t seen before.

Nattily dressed like he was ready to pop off a cover of GQ magazine, but looking stressed and impatient pacing as he waited for his coffee. I could smell his cologne from the condiment bar and thought to myself “He reminds me of a temperamental European sports car.”

And when I walked outside, guess who I see standing (posing, really) next to his European sports car? Yep!

So I wonder to myself, “Do guys as they get older start to look like their cars?” Maybe so. His sports jacket matched the exterior of his car and his pants matched the interior. His hair even seemed styled to coordinate perfectly with his sleek and sporty car.

I wondered how he managed to stand next to his car as he groomed himself in the bathroom mirror this morning.

I was about to chuckle out loud as I hit the unlock button on my own car. And realized that I looked just like my grey Honda Accord –with matching grey interior.
