The Universal Constant

There's a line from the Broadway show, "Avenue Q," that I find very amusing:

"Don't stress. Relax. Let life roll off your back. Except for death and paying taxes, everything in life is only for now."

It talks about the notion of change being the only constant in this world. Today while I was getting lunch for my boss, I noticed that all of the employees at the Subway on Clark Street are completely new. I didn't recognize any of them and it was a very disconcerting experience. I was so shocked that I neglected to order my usual oatmeal raisin cookie.

I'm all for change, but I hate when it happens so fast. Three new employees at Subway? That's like recasting all the characters on a soap opera. I think this is the perfect time to mention GENERAL HOSPITAL. In just three months, they recast the roles of Maxie, Felicia, and Carly. I didn't even have time to get used to the original characters! The new actresses are so not doing it for me. Oh yeah, and they changed the food menu at Caribou Coffee! No more croissants, no more black cherry oatmeal muffins, and no more TUNA SALAD! It's such a hit or miss when it comes to pre-made tuna salads. You just never know if it's going to be good. Caribou had some kickass tuna salad and now it's gone. Forever.

If they discontinue my favorite fragrance, "Reserve" by Perry Ellis, then I will go nuts.
