Snippets

The grass was newly mown when I reached my office building. The smell was pleasant, deep and intense, lingering in my nostrils for quite a little while.

The cleaning lady - a perfect stranger - greeted me with a hello and a good morning and a smiling face. She always does. They always do, cleaning ladies. They are the well-mannered people in my office building, with full professors occupying the opposite end of the spectrum. You pass by a cleaning lady you never talk to and she will act the most politely. You pass by a full professor you never talk to and he won't even care to meet your eye or nod his head ever slightly.

An old man in the bus, seated next to a young lady, talking to her in the most genteel manner, prompting a conversation they both seemed to be fond of.

Macu cooked artichokes last night. Tasty and delicious, a real treat. Later that night I listened to Phish's Farmhouse on Grooveshark.
