Sparkles
I just bought a butter croissant at a little French cafe on 6th Ave (NYC). The guy asked me if that was all and I said, "Yes." Then he reached over the chocolate chip cookie tray, picked one up, and said, as he added it to my bag, "I want to give you a cookie, too." :)
I love getting free things. It's not because I don't want to pay for things. It's because I feel special to that person when it happens. It's because I am encountering the beautiful kindness and generosity in that person. A merry-go-round happens in my heart in these kinds of moments.
Another sparkle: While riding back to Astoria on the subway, I was daydreaming about the tickle session I had with the Seals' girls. Eliora was belly down on my lap and Tressa was leaning in between the two of us... Their giggles were amazing and they are still dancing around in my mind. :)

Mike: I will try. :) I am feeling like a stuffed grape leaf myself, so I'm not sure what will be possible before I leave.

no way. actually, botso... i can think of a better cookie. what if your one true love said, "i'll give you a chocolate chip cookie in exchange for a smooch!" now THAT would be one spectaculary better cookie. or... "i will give you a chocolate chip cookie if you moon mike hon." how about that one? see... there are many better cookies than a FREE chocolate chip cookie.

if you bring the running protestor, then the c.i.a. will show up, too. i wonder what we could get them to do for a chocolate chip cookie... by the way, i'm not smooching the running protestor.

Erika: Work on the being able to tell the difference between your dreams and real life.
And yes... gross. I'm glad that you're finally shocking yourself after victimizing the masses for so many years now.
