Many mature adults who walk slowly, possibly with the aid of a cane, must wonder how others see them. Not me! I know!
This weekend as I was hobbling across Court Street on my way to the “cool” Casa Nueva bar, a little girl about eight stopped me and proffered a quarter in her hand. She asked if I wanted it. I asked if she’d found it and she said no. I asked if it was hers and she said yes, and I thanked her profusely for the offer but suggested she keep it. Did I do right? Isn’t it grand that I don’t have to wonder any more how I’m perceived? Even my best friends won’t tell me…
You neglected to mention that you had been moving furniture all day, and hadn’t combed your hair, and we both pretty much looked like a homeless person!

But that wouldn’t have been funny, just apologetic. Ya think?
