Earlier this evening, bogged down by a lot of things, I was that girl at the corner table of the cafe, ear phones in (Carla Bruni), laptop and book in front of me, tea and scone off to the side, and one knee pulled up in front of me in unconscious self-defense from the pain and toils of the world (I kid. Kind of). About 40 minutes after I sat down, a kid I vaguely know from rock climbing walked up smiling, gave me a high five, and walked away.


#PleasantlyBemused - the bemusement quickly fading in favor of a smile of admiration and appreciation. It's like an odd version of a Coca Cola commercial.
