mending fences with the crazies..

something i forgot to post about last friday, but it was friday and all thoughts of the week pretty much escaped my frazzled brain the minute i step off the muni and walk my two blocks home.
Anyways, I was up at Pier 39 last friday to have lunch with my HS newspaper advisor Mr. Evans(yea, you're jealous Steph and Troy, I know) and as I headed back to work, some guy(homeless? maybe? you cant always tell in this city) started talking to me. Like most, I did the nod and kept walking but he kept talking! Finally, I stopped so I could hear what he was saying.

"Im sorry but you arent allowed to do that." -guy
"Umm, what? do what? what did i do?" -me
"walk by me without a smile on your face! smile for me beautiful!" -guy (wow.ok.)
I laugh. I smile. Never hurts to be cooperative just in case they are crazy.
He gives me a sticker from his coat that says "I *heart* your smile!"

You just never know whats going to happen once you walk out your front door.


And just so you all know, yesterday was a fantastic day like I predicted. I got to get out of the office and go on client meetings and free lunches. WOO. And its all because of the red cups.
