Why Did The Walker Cross The Road?

To avoid this group.
Did you ever get in the way of a goose... especially a goose with its family?
Fuggedaboutit!
...
Summer training is in full swing.  I did my walkabout early this morning before my appointment with the great Dr. Eliot Auerbach ... who tells me I brush like a 3 year old! (Actually today he told me I'm somewhere within the average range of brushers!)  While on Main Street, a woman, who appeared to be somewhere around my mom's age or older, approached me asking where the bus stop was.  When I asked where she was going ... she replied "The train."  Now the train station was only a few blocks from where we were ... so I sent her directly there.  She was walking so slowly ... and I felt bad that I was making her walk ... so I turned around and quick-walked to catch up to her ... and joined her on her stroll to the station.  She was so lovely.  A retired high school history teacher, she lives in Soho and takes the LIRR to Port because she likes the library! (Although she LOVES the New York Public Library!)  I was a little concerned because I met  her around 8 AM ... and not much is open at that time in Port.  Well ... whatever reason she was here ... I got her to the train ... made sure nobody hit her while she slowly made it across the street ... and felt like I did something nice.
It felt good ... so I decided that this will be the summer of good deeds.  A deed a day!

  2. Yet another example of why you are one of our favorite people. xoxo (and no, we don't mean because you avoided the geese.)
