How Was Your Commute Today?

[Tri Girl]

I always pass an old man on the path, who walks 2 old dogs. He stops off to the side, giving me the whole path, nodding his head as I pass. It's very chivalrous. I can tell how early or late I am by where he is. We are both creatures of habit.

I don't get these human connections when I drive.

I love that you said this. I meet a man on my way to work almost every morning. He's walking to work, it seems, and always eating an apple or a banana when I pass him. A couple weeks ago I saw him much further down the street than normal, so I looked at my watch and sure enough-I was running late. We always say "good morning." I can't wait until it's warm enough that I can actually see his whole head to know what he looks like without being all bundled up.
