yay for kids

after work i left my house for a bike ride with my dog, Nilla. While peddling through the park i came upon a boy who had just fallen off of his bike. He explained to me how it happened as he tried to keep from weeping. i comforted him and made sure he was OK. He wasn't bleeding or anything and by the time i left he was ready to get back on his bike...it was fun sitting there with this kid (i forgot to ask his name). A few blocks later i rode past another young boy holding a sign trying to sell baseball/basketball cards. I talked to him for a bit but he wasn't a good salesman. Despite his lack of words, he made my day. The world is pretty messed up; it was refreshing to see kids being kids.

in other news, i'm back from GR back to work. The drive went well...the junkyard jetta worked flawlessly and rode like a true, German masterpiece.
