To the Old Man in Pajama Pants and Rollerskates

Dear Sir,

When you passed me on my run, I was close to quitting. The classic rock blasting in my earphones was barely enough to keep me from slowing to a walk. But then I saw a blur of green in my peripheral vision. In a green t-shirt, green camo pajama pants, and roller skates with green wheels, you rolled on by. You instantly brought a smile to my face. With your arms raised to the sky, you exuded carefree happiness, even from the back. And that joy was infectious. So thank you.




Turbo: Graffiti Alley in Cambridge

For how close it is, I don't get over to Cambridge enough. The other weekend I managed to cross the river to go to my friend's gig. In Central Square is this awesome alley covered from top to bottom in beautiful graffiti.
