Tonight on the way home I stopped at the grocery store to pick up some dinner. It's been another blistering week in the cube farm. I'm maybe a bit more jaded than usual. Almost out of answers. Almost. Ok, no, not even close to out of answers, but still, one of those weeks.

So I go in, pick up some sundries - and the fixins for a huge weekend pot of chili hell yes - and on my way back to the Jeep I notice this lady sitting in her car talking on her phone. At first it looked like she was crying, but then I realized she was laughing. And she kept laughing. And I got to the Jeep and climbed in and started the engine and she's still laughing. Like eyes closed totally genuine laughing. Not even really saying anything into her phone, just laughing. I listened to the radio for a minute while the engine got warm. She kept it up. A minute later I started laughing, too. And totally with her, not at her. And I'm not even sure what was funny. But man I laughed.

I thought it was pretty kick ass. A neat ending to one of those weeks.
