favorable

Picked up the lady going to the airport. She got three words out before I smiled and said "Minnesota!" Easiest accent to pick out on the planet.
Like so many others she is having trouble accepting Brett Farvre after routing against him so hard for so long. "Not to worry" I said, "That bag of bones will break down like last year and you won't even make the playoffs."
Later I drove Laura home from Chili's. Seems like she works doubles every day. Triples even (do they have triples?)
Then I helped some old bag lug groceries up 3 floors. Well, there was an elevator, but still. The look on her face when I grabbed all the bags at once was priceless. It probably took her seven hours and three quarters of her social security check to buy the lot and I grab it like its a sandwich (the plastic bags make it easy)

Drove a dude up to North Quincy and we got to talking a little and he asked me where I'm from so I said Sharon originally. Oh are you Jewish? No I was raised Protestant but I'm not really religious in fact I think I'm an atheist. He started getting upset and told me I shouldn't say that. Why not? Its a fun thing to say. What does he know for sure that I don't?
Lastly I grabbed a Brockton out of the T, a decent fellow, just missed his bus. Bad for him good for me.
