I stepped out of my garage on Friday and actually felt... a chill.  The temperature had dipped into the high 60s overnight and now was about 75 at 8:00 in the morning.  Can't remember when I last felt that down here - I'm thinking it was sometime in late March.

As much as I've bitched on the "pet hates" thread, I'm really easily amused.  Honest.  Things like hearing my son laugh (which he does often) can fuel my whole day.

No more beans!

I don't recall right now what or who made my day recently. However, I will never forget this time when I was living in New York City 11 years ago. I had a shitty day at work, the kind of day that makes you go home angry, depress and feeling sorry for yourself. I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about. We'll the thing is that I decided to walk from 31 st where I worked to West 4th st and take the subway there back home to  Brooklyn. I figured a nice and long walk might help me steam off and relax. Well, I was a walking down Manhattan and this guy with a foreign accent approached me asking for directions. So after I explained where he had to go, he look at me and said: "Isn't this too much of a beautiful evening to be so sad? Come on now, show me that smile!" And I just laughed right there. He truly made my day.

Mel, thank you for starting this thread, what a lovely idea!

Driving home one evening this week, I decided for no particular reason, to drive a different route than usual, and there, at the end of the long road I turned onto, was the beautiful crescent moon hanging low in the western sky, that I got to follow home for most of the drive.
