redemption

Just when I think the whole male population has been transformed into a bunch of mindless droids, one comes along and redeems the lot of them.

Indianapolis isn't as big as some cities, but we aren't a little berg either. Our downtown is pretty busy. And like other big cities, we have our share of road construction. Also, like other big cities, we have our share of pedestrians who don't pay attention. This morning I was on a 5 lane one-way street, turning right on to another 5 lane one-way street. I didn't have to stop at the intersection because I had the green light and there were no pedestrians in the cross walk. Right after I made my turn, in the middle of the block, a man started running across the street. I had to do a little swerve to pick a different lane and then decided to just stop and let him go. He stopped, then continued, walking, looking at me shaking his head and grumbling. Ya know, I expect that kind of attitude from some punk ass kid, not a mature man in a business suit. There are crosswalks for a reason asshole.

Twenty minutes later, as I was leaving the cafeteria with my coffee and water, a gentleman went out of his way to open the door for me. That one act of kindness redeemed the whole male population for me. I feel better now :-)

This weekend we will be laying bathroom tile! Woohoo!! We might be done with the bathroom by the end of summer...3 years later. Yesssssssssssss
