On the bus: We are angry and relieved

A short one, but there are two important people I want to tell you about. On the bus with me today:

- Lots of runners, the people who see the bus coming and start sprinting to catch it. One lady is so relieved she made it that she cannot stop sighing, like, “WOOOOOOOooooooo!” Every other breath she is saying to the whole bus, “Did you see that? I RAN, baby, ’cause there was gonna be trouble if I didn’t catch that bus. But you know I caught it ’cause I fast.” After every sigh she looks around the bus to see if anyone noticed her amazing feat and is possibly a recruiter for the Olympic track team.

- A guy who is writing a mean e-mail. Or maybe just a mean guy writing an e-mail. Not sure. I don’t know if you can tell in the photo, but he has the biggest scowl on his face, with his bottom lip up under his nose and the corners of his mouth nearly touching the bottom of his jaw. He holds his phone about three inches from his nose as he furiously pecks away at his mini-keyboard. What makes this guy even funnier, and which you also may not be able to see in the photo, is that the hair on the top of his head is thinning, but there is still a circle of tight curls that runs all the way around his hairline. So it looks like he’s wearing a headband made out of his own hair with a bald spot on top.
