The highlight of my week

I was in our local Gas -n- Sip this morning getting coffee and as I was leaving a young kid on his way to Jr. high school held the door open for me. I said "Thanks." and he replied, "Oh, No doubt, buddy." Very friendly and sincere, as though he were genuinely happy to be of help.

Nice!!

The highlight of my week came today as I was talking with a woman I'd just met. She has a lovely garden a couple blocks from my house and I'd complimented her on how inspiring her flowers were to me and that I'd recently torn up the planting strip at my house, in preparation to create a flower garden like hers. As we talked, I mentioned that I would be attending my eldest son's college graduation ceremonies this weekend, and she looked at me, cocked her head and said, "No, what? Did you have him when you were twelve?"

If I may borrow from Thomas Jefferson,

Apparently I look like a young parent too.
