No More With Me: 11/6/2008
"I'm sorry. Please forgive me! I don't mean
to hold you up, " he said as he struggled to get off
the escalator. I'll admit to it. There have been times when walking
or driving behind an older person that I've gotten
impatient and upset. I've huffed and zoomed around
them, because I was in a hurry to get nowhere. Perhaps I'm
more aware of it now, because I see myself there one day soon. ...

deal. I would sit at her knee and look up from the floor and
ask what she was doing. She informed me that she was embroidering.
I told her it looked like a mess from where I was. As from the
underside, I watched her work within the boundaries of
the little round hoop she held in her hand. I complained
to her that it sure looked messy ...
